Any predictions about this?

"A special election will be held on May 25, 2017 to determine the member of the United States House of Representatives for Montana's at-large congressional district. The election was necessitated by Incumbent Republican Representative Ryan Zinke's appointment as United States Secretary of the Interior. Zinke resigned on March 1, 2017, upon his confirmation.

Montana's state law required the Governor of Montana to call for a special election to be held no less than 85 and no more than 100 days after the vacancy. Governor Steve Bullock declared a special election to take place on May 25.

The Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian Parties held nominating conventions to decide their nominee."

Is there a progressive candidate able to get involved? Justice Democrats could put an opportunity like this to good use.

Rob Quist has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Justice Democrats. He's facing Republican Greg Gianforte. This is an important election, we get to see how well a progressive candidate does in a red state. Corporate Dems usually lose in Montana.

I was hitching south through Montana in 1979 and got a ride from a guy in a light blue '56 Chevy PU. He was going on about how Soldier of Fortune magazine was the best magazine in the world because they had ads for mercenarys and he was gonna "go to Angola and shoot niggers for money." Then he says "want to see what I'd shoot 'em with?" and reaches under the seat and drops a big nickel-plated Smith and Wesson right in my lap. I said "this thing isn't loaded is it?" and he says "hell no, you think I'm gonna hand some hippie kid a loaded gun"?
So I look at the end of the cylinder and see it's fully loaded with hollow points
I hand the gun back to him and he shoves it back under the seat
About 60 miles later he says "well, this is my turnoff..." and lets me out, then hands me a business card and heads up Bumfuck Canyon Road to his unabomber style shack
So I'm standing there on the side of the highway in Montana and I look at the card and it says
"You have been been visited by the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Huntsville, Alabama".
