With Ryan Zinke expected to sail through Senate confirmation hearings to become Donald Trump's Secretary of the Interior, Montana politicians are rapidly angling to replace him in the U.S. House.
The very good Mike Dennison has a piece profiling six sitting legislators and how their Congressional aspirations might affect the 2017 session.

H/T to Twitchy, for compiling Iowahawk's complete and total takedown of the Democrats' and the mainstream media's myth that the Russians "hacked" the 2016 Presidential Election.
