| Montana Democrat Suspends Campaign for Congressional Seat |
| 2021-11-19 |
| [BREITBART] Montana Democrat Caucus Chair, state Rep. Laurie Bishop (D-Livingston), announced Wednesday she is suspending her campaign for the state’s new congressional seat due to redistricting to run for reelection in her seat in the state House. Bishop’s announcement comes roughly one week after the states’ redistricting commission submitted their final congressional map outlining the state’s two U.S. House districts to the secretary of state’s office last Friday. The new district Bishop was planning to run for was reportedly not as friendly to a Democrat campaign as she had hoped when announcing her congressional bid, in addition to leaving her hometown of Livingston outside of the district. Bishop was the first Democrat that announced she was running for the seat back in July. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... at the time of her, announcement, Bishop said she "would run in the district that includes liberal college town Missoula even if Livingston was not placed in the same district." "Public service has always been at the heart of my decision to run for Congress, and at this moment, the most important way for me to be of service is by continuing to lead our caucus at the state level," Bishop said in a statement. "I am so thankful to have this opportunity and grateful for everyone who joined us. We ran a campaign focused on people, and I’m so proud of the work we were able to accomplish in just a few months," she added. In the last quarter, Bishop had raised roughly $116,000 and saw contributions from over 1,300 people. |

| #5 the Trunks are better at redistricting than the Dems are. Actually the Dems tend to segregate themselves more than Republicans by refusing to live anywhere near "deplorables" or "bitter clingers". People that look at the data wrote that districting shenanigans account for maybe 6 districts nation-wide. The fact that democrats self-segregate into 80% dem districts account for the rest. |

| #4 Ohio (Mike Dewine, Gov. R) seems to be forcing Jim Jordan into a democrat district. |

| #3 The Trunks can play the same game as the Donks. I spotted an article earlier this week that said the Trunks are better at redistricting than the Dems are. Either way, Dems will be howling like stuck pigs for the next few weeks every time one of theirs gets broomed because of this. |
