Many Repubs won’t believe anyone with that haircut will vote to confiscate guns or legalize dancing.

something went wrong with an issue that's very personally important to him and, of course, his constituents. When that critical line has been crossed, he doesn't mince words... he doesn't stutter. He doesn't tiptoe through the tulips; he comes out with guns blazing. He makes you listen (not unlike Obama). I love that about him and he'd have my vote in either position on a ticket.

for re-election in 2018 to oppose the budget deal?
Tester-D was one of the 19 US Senators to vote NO. Tester's rational was the budget deal did not include any funding for community health centers and border security.
