Those poor little guys. . .

 

It appears that the red tide that drenched Montana during the last election is turning a pale pink at the legislative level.  In that session, Republicans landed a two-thirds-plus supermajority, cutting into much of the Democrat's power in Montana by occupying 102 of 150 seats between Montana's House and Senate.

After the primary election this month, the Republicans are shocked and saddened at the scene of what the legislature will look like. They may lose their supermajority, according to multiple Republican and Democrat know-it-alls who say they know.

That should change how key issues, such as property taxes, may do an about-face in the legislature. 

It never pays to have the whole goody bag fall into your lap and then preach to the world what a great guy you are. 

I'm not forecasting anything here, but I am telling you that, for some reason, the Republicans (and Democrats) seem to be reading the tea leaves and primary election numbers and sitting there with a sour look on their faces.

Of course, some look like that all of the time.

Let's just hope it all turns out that way!
