All Tied Up and No Place To Go...
Montana Republicans are in the middle of a real donnybrook, and you'll never guess with whom.
Other Republicans.
At the risk of sounding like a damaged CD in an endless loop, there is a nesting of strange, uncooperative "demon eggs" known as Right-Wing Conservatives who are scattered throughout Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley. Folks know them by the names of Daines, Gianforte, Wittich, and other lesser such species who wander the halls of the Montana Legislature.
These unconventional Republicans - shall we call them "Brotherhood of the Brood" - have no qualms about making full frontal attacks on those someday expatriates they refer to as RINOs. (Republicans in name only)
You all know the stories about how the "normal" Republicans in the past two legislative sessions saw benefits for Montanans in bills that the bad eggs didn't. As a result, they crossed over and voted with the Democrats to get them passed.
Not a good idea, said the "brood," and the chicken coop erupted into a horrendous free-for-all that is still going on.
The "Brotherhood of the Brood" senses a disinfection of the chicken coop is in order and are now suing for closed primaries to cleanse the Democrats who are voting in GOP Primaries to keep the bad eggs out of the General Elections. If successful, only registered Republicans would be allowed to vote in their primaries.
The chicken poop is getting smellier by the minute. And, as Democrats see it, the Republican infighting has become strictly a spectator sport. The only thing to do is just stand back and enjoy.
Two questions do come to mind, however: What has seeped into the drinking water in Bozeman, and is there an antidote?
