HELENA The Montana Democrats on Sunday picked musician Rob Quist of Creston as their candidate to replace Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in the U.S. House.

Zinke resigned from Congress Wednesday and will be replaced in a special election May 25. Gov. Steve Bullock set the election for 85 days after Zinkes resignation, although he had 100. Montana wont have a representative in Congress until Zinke is replaced.

Ballots are counted while candidate representatives watch Sunday during the Montana Democratic Party's special nominating convention in Helena.

The party held four rounds of voting during the special nominating convention at the Best Western Premier Great Northern Hotel in Helena, eliminating the lowest vote-getters each round until someone ended up with more than 50 percent.

Quist defeated state Rep. Amanda Curtison a vote of 90-69 in the final round. State Rep. Kelly McCarthy of Billings was eliminated after the third round, Gary Stein of Missoula was eliminated and Dan West of Missoula dropped out after the second round, and attorney John Meyer of Bozeman, Lee Link Neimark of Whitefish and Tom Weida of Helena were eliminated after the first round.

Before the voting began, delegates had 30 minutes to give one-minute speeches for the candidate of their choice. Quist, Curtis and McCarthy received the majority of their support, with at least five delegates speaking on each candidates behalf. Most delegates who spoke said the three candidates were most likely to put together the best campaign in 80 days. West had two delegate supporters and the remaining candidates had none.

The leading candidates were divided on whether political experience would help or hinder their electability. Candidates did agree on several core aspects of the Democratic platform, such as keeping public lands public and fostering an inclusive environment.

Quist, who gained fame in the Mission Mountain Wood Band, has never held elected office. When announcing his campaign, Quist touted years of public service including serving for 11 years on the Montana Arts Council and as a state ambassador to Montanas sister state in Kumamoto, Japan. He advocated for the Montana Food Bank and received a grant from the Office of Public Instruction to create anti-bullying programs and art programs in public schools.

Quist said hes traveled the state and understands what kind of representation Montanans need. He grew up in Cut Bank and now lives in the Flathead Valley. The musician received an endorsement from former Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who called Quist a political outsider who will stand up for Montana.

While nominating Quist, Rosebud County Committee Vice Chair Jean Dahlman said he has a unique relationship with Montanans and will appeal to Independent and Republican voters.

These are the voters we must win over in order to win the general election, Dahlman said.

Dahlman said Quist has already shown hes capable of growing the party. While traveling to garner the support of delegates, he created seven new central committees.

Never have we seen such uncertainty. Voters are alarmed, she said. They are asking for a new kind of leadership.

Kyle Kuntz, a delegate from Blaine County, said Quist was the most electable candidate and will find support from both sides of the aisle.

Quist said hes come to know Montanans without being a career politician, which gave him a broad perspective and ability to represent the entire state.

I ask you to look outside the bubble of Helena to a man who has represented Montana from behind a different kind of microphone, he said.

Rob Quist gives his acceptance speech Sunday in front of the Montana Democratic Party's special nominating convention in Helena.

He spoke to policies he would support, including fixing the Affordable Care Act, funding education, opposing the transfer of public lands and supporting womens reproductive rights, including protecting funding for Planned Parenthood.

The last Democrat to hold the congressional seat was Pat Williams, who served from 1979-1997.

"I hope to get to Congress and have the same impact Pat Williams had," Quist said after winning the nomination.

He added that the election is going to be a sprint, but said Quists are good at sprinting.

"I think, who better than a musician for a campaign like this?" he said. "I think we're really well prepared."

Quist said he has been connecting with Montanans his whole life, and he doesn't think he will have trouble getting people to cross party lines. He said he has had conversations with Republicans, and they agree on 80 percent of the issues.

"I really don't feel like I'm an underdog in this race," he said.

State Representative Amanda Curtis gives her nomination speech Sunday during the Montana Democratic Party's special nomination convention in Helena.

Kevin Hamm, with the Stonewall Democrats, gave an energizing nomination speech for Curtis, which drew applause and cheers from the crowd. He said Curtis, who was defeated by Republican Steve Daines after being nominated to run for U.S. Senate only 50 days before the 2014 general election, has experience in a short and fast-paced election.

She has walked through that fire already, he said. Its time we help the lady take the seat.

Curtis also highlighted the necessity of experience, mentioning her two terms in the state Legislature and the requirement of the nominee to immediately understand and act on federal policy issues. She said shes already been vetted by Republicans after running against Daines.

She took time out of her speech to issue a general warning to whoever won the nomination, saying they will deal with trackers from the opposition and said the other side doesnt play nice.

Theyll make up lies about you, she said. Theyll give you a tracker who acts as your shadow whose only job is to make you look bad or lose your cool.

If chosen, Curtis promised to have authentic conversations with Republicans and unite people according to the states core values.

This is about more than looking like a Republican, she said. This is about talking to our friends and neighbors.

Curtis ended her speech by acknowledging shes a woman, which she called the elephant in the room. She shamed delegates for suggesting a woman couldnt win right now.

Do you hear yourselves? Did you hear the 10,000 women in Helena? For the record, once and for all, without a doubt in my mind, I do think a woman can win right now, she said. I think this is our time more than ever.

State Representative Kelly McCarthy gives his nomination speech Sunday during the Montana Democratic Party's special nomination convention in Helena.

Rep. Nate McConnell, D-Missoula, nominated McCarthy and referenced his sponsorship of a bill to prohibit discrimination against the LGBTQ community, even though McCarthy knew the odds werent in his favor.

Like all of us in this room, Kelly wanted the ugly practice of discrimination to end, McConnell said. Kelly knows what courage is.

McCarthy touted his three sessions in the Legislature. Hes built the budget as part of the House Appropriations committee for three sessions and said 80 percent of the legislation he carried last session became law. He said Montana needs to send a representative who understands the nuances of the current political climate.

In this race, legislative experience and national security experience and experience serving our nation matter, McCarthy said.

Montana Democratic Party delegates from across the state met Sunday in Helena to select musician Rob Quist as their nominee to run for U.S. Congress.

The majority of the Democratic votes came from county committee people. Gov. Steve Bullock and Sen. Jon Tester each got a vote, and 21 came from the partys executive committee. Another 10 votes came from partner organizations, such as the College Democrats and the Montana Indian Democrats Council.

Republicans will choose their nominee on Monday evening at the Best Western Premier Great Northern Hotel. Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans required each of their seven candidates to put forward a $1,740 filing fee. They also required candidates to get support from 10 committee voters in at least five counties.

All of the 212 Republican voters come from county committees. Candidates include 2016 gubernatorial candidate Greg Gianforte, state Sen. Ed Buttrey of Great Falls, Dean Rehbein of Missoula, Drew Turiano of East Helena, Rep. Carl Glimm of Kila, Ed Walker of Billings and former Republican chairman Ken Miller.

Gianforte has already launched a statewide advertising campaign for the special election with a 60-second commercial and claimed hes already secured enough votes to get the nomination on Monday.

Ron Vandevender, state party chair for the Libertarians, said they will pick their candidate in a convention Saturday in Helena. Candidates include Mark Wicks of Inverness, James White of Helena, Rufus Peace of Livingston and Chris Colvin and Evan Gardner of Kalispell.

The deal with President Donald Trump "would be to put Gorsuch and Merrick Garland on the court at the same time, Sen. Tom Udall said. | Getty

Updated 02/27/17 02:31 PM EST

Sen. Tom Udall met with Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch on Monday, but the senators mind was still on Merrick Garland.

So the New Mexico Democrat pitched an unusual proposal during his private meeting with President Donald Trumps nominee: Have both Gorsuch and Garland whose nomination by Barack Obama was blockaded by Senate Republicans for nearly a year simultaneously confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Story Continued Below

You had President Trump saying, I want to unite the country, Im a deal-maker, Im going to bring people together, Udall told reporters following his meeting with Gorsuch on Monday. Well, the deal right now for President Trump, if he wanted to do it, would be to put Gorsuch and Merrick Garland on the court at the same time.

This is how Udall described it: Trump would discuss the option with one of the three Supreme Court justices often mentioned as retirement prospects in the coming years Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer or Anthony Kennedy and secure a resignation letter from one of them, contingent on Garland getting nominated and confirmed as their replacement.

Then the two nominees would have a simultaneous confirmation process and votes, Udall said.

Udalls pitch which he said he has mentioned to other senators looks like a pipe dream at best. Trump galvanized the right during his presidential campaign by creating a list of 21 conservative justices who could be potential high court picks. The New York Times reported earlier this month that Trump was already eyeing future Supreme Court replacements in case Kennedy retires, including Sixth Circuit Judge Raymond Kethledge and D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Kethledge was on Trumps list of 21 potential justices, while Kavanaugh is a George W. Bush appointee.

White House officials who accompanied Gorsuch into his meeting with Udall declined to say anything in response to Udalls suggestion, the senator said.

The senator noted that presidents in the past have coaxed Supreme Court justices to step down from their lifetime appointments, including Arthur Goldberg, who was asked by President Lyndon B. Johnson to resign from the court so he could become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Udalls proposal also mirrors an episode from the fifth season of The West Wing, when staffers for fictional President Jed Bartlet faced with a high court vacancy following the death of an associate justice persuade the shows chief justice to also resign so Bartlet could announce a pair of nominees who wouldnt change the ideological balance of the court. A Udall spokeswoman said the Democrat had the idea when a constituent asked him "quite earnestly" why both Gorsuch and Garland couldn't be confirmed to the Supreme Court. She said Udall wasn't an avid watcher of the NBC show.

Still, Udall declined to say whether the unusual arrangement would persuade him to vote in favor of Gorsuch.

Im going to do the same thing Im going to do with this nomination and whatever nomination comes before us, Udall said. Youd still have the same review of the other nominations. The key to the whole thing you wouldnt want one side to back out of it.

He added: Its an idea. Its just an idea, I threw it out to them, I throw it out to you.

His administration under fire over Russian contacts, President Trump shot back at Democrats on Friday byposting an oldphoto of Senate Minority Leader Charles E.Schumer (D-N.Y.) having a doughnut and coffee with Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling the senator a "total hypocrite"and somewhat jokingly calling for an investigation.

Above the smiling photo-op, Trump wrote: "We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!"

Trump, who rarely passes up an opportunity to punch back when under attack, was responding to Democrats' calls for an investigation into Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions' failure to tell Congress under oath about two meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Sessions agreed torecusehimself Thursday from any investigation related to Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

The president had "zero" interaction with Russian officials about his campaign and his presidency, aWhite House spokeswoman told reporters aboard Air Force One.

"The president himself knows what his involvement was, and that's zero, and I think he is the you know primary person that he's be held responsible and he had no interaction," Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah H. Sanders said.

When asked whether the president is concerned that there are more contacts between his circle and Russian officials that he doesn't know about, Sanders said,"I don't think so."

Trump's taunting tweet was part of a running tit-for-tat exchange between the White House and the Senate minority leaderon social media.

Schumerhad written on Twitter on Thursday that Congress should expand its investigation into Russia's intelligence effort to tip the 2016 election in Trump's favor.

"The bottom line is we have an obligation to get to the truth. We must evaluate the scope of Russia's interference in our election," Schumer tweeted.

In response, White House communications official DanScavinoposting the photograph of Schumer and Putin smiling together, writing:"Do it over a donut and coffee."

Schumer, however, had a quick comeback for Trump's latest missive.

Senator Kamala Harris of California (seen here speaking at the Jan. 21 Womens March on Washington) was one of several rising stars whom the Democrats overlooked in choosing former Kentucky governor Steve Beshear to deliver a response to President Donal Trumps address to Congress on Tuesday night.

If anyone still wondered whether there was an established institution in this country strong enough to save us from Donald Trump and his authoritarian impulses, the media hot takes and Democratic response to Trumps speech last night should put those questions to rest. And just so were clear, the answer is no, no one is going to save us.

Last night, Donald Trump delivered a speech full of lies (the Affordable Care Act is collapsing, the US is on the verge of becoming a sanctuary for extremists, the environment in border states is lawless chaos) and he received near unanimous praise from TV media pundits. Describing the moment when Trump recognized the widow of Navy SEAL William Ryan Owens, CNNs Van Jones said, He became president of the United States in that moment, period.

Jones added, That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics.

If the moment was extraordinary, that was because just 24 hours before delivering his speech to Congress, Trump told attendees of the annual meeting of the National Governors Association that the military doesnt fight to win anymore. And on Tuesday morning, during a Fox & Friends interview, Trump blamed Owenss death on the military. Referring to the generals who planned the raid in Yemen, Trump said, This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do. . . . And they lost Ryan.

Our conservative columnist offers a weekly take on everything from politics to pet peeves.

Considering those comments, then yes, Trumps recognition of Owenss widow was extraordinary. But how anyone can opine on Trumps remarks absent this context is mind-boggling.

A measured, disciplined speech by the president appeared to do little to dissipate the partisan tension.

Much more mind-boggling, though, was the Democratic Partys official response to Trumps speech. Staged in a diner and delivered by former Kentucky governor Steve Beshear, the nine-minute rebuttal was an unmitigated disaster. Introducing himself to the audience, Beshear said: I am a proud Democrat, but first and foremost, I am a proud Republican, and Democrat and mostly, American. (He was supposed to say, I am a proud Democrat, but first and foremost, Im a proud American.)

Where, one might ask, were three of the Democratic Partys rising charismatic politicians they could have called on? Senator Kamala Harris of California, Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, or Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey?

Even worse than the bizarre pick of a 72-year-old white guy from Kentucky, though, was the script that Democrats saddled him with. Despite the materials Democrats had to work with such as the GOPs insistence on repealing a health care law supported by 54 percent of Americans Beshears rebuttal was boring and forgettable. If this was the best that Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi could come up with, then no one should be looking to current Democratic Party bosses for leadership.

Trumps shocking electoral win has sparked a passionate, witty, and engaged opposition: More people turned out to protest Trumps inauguration than attended it. After Trumps disastrous executive order on immigration, hundreds of attorneys showed up at airports across the country to offer free legal help to those affected by the ban, and hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country hit the streets to show their support for immigrants and refugees. To say that this energy was missing from the Democratic response would be an understatement.

Last weekend, Democrat Stephanie Hansen won a special election for Delawares 10th District Senate seat. She defeated a Republican candidate who had come within two percentage points of victory in 2014. Hansen beat him by 16 points. It was the first swing election held since Nov. 9, and it is fair to say that the people spoke, and spoke loudly.

Its a lesson for going forward. The media arent going to save this country. The Democratic Party isnt going to save this country. We the people are going to save this country, by insisting on the truth; electing politicians who speak for all of us, not some of us; and refusing to pretend that anything about the Trump presidency is presidential.

Democrats squandered an opportunity - The Boston Globe

The women themselves have said they were honoring the suffragettes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries while indicating their ongoing commitment to womens rights issues such as equal pay for equal work.

But not many conservatives believe the white wall of women was intended to be a merely symbolic gesture of solidarity with suffragettes.

Whatever each intended to convey by her choice of clothing, the entire bloc of women in white was virtue signaling. That is one reason they chose white clothing.

The choice of white garments has long signified the sacred. Being dressed in white indicates being set apart, dedicated to sacred ideals, spiritually separated from the crowd as seeking to attain righteousness and purity. Whether Vestal virgins or, in the Christian tradition, the scared rituals of baptism and first communion, white is the garment of choice. It indicates purity of life and deeds which the rest of the world should seek to attain.

In the case of many, if not all of the feminists who sat on their hands and refused to stand as a gesture of support for Carryn Owens, widow of Navy SEALRyan Owens, the garments indicated they are the chosen priestesses of the pious Left, the defenders of the feminist faith.

To look at the bloc of white garbed Democrat women was to look at oracles of Delphi who have mystically discerned the most sacred right of women is the right to sacrifice their own offspring. To look at the high priestesses dedicated to the religion of radical feminism is to see leaders of a cult, the chief sacrament of which is abortion.

For nearly all leftist feminists, abortion is a holy rite, a religious ritual to be conducted in the cathedrals of Planned Parenthood and to be blessed by faith leaders.

Yes, you read that correctly. Blessed.

High priests and priestesses inside and outside the Beltway have committed to blessing abortion both by law and by religious rituals.

According to a recent Huffington Post article entitled Religious Leaders Bless Planned Parenthood Health Center, an group of clergy representing Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and secular leaders gathered inside Planned Parenthood Metro Washingtons new Carol Whitehill Moses health center on Tuesday to perform a blessing of the space.

The article goes on to citeDr. Laura Meyers, President & CEO of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, who told the Huffington Post that progressive voices of faith should speak up for women:

Having a group of interfaith clergy perform a ceremony focused on unity and wholeness therefore takes on special meaning to empower and celebrate rather than to stigmatize, control and dehumanize. Having such a ceremony take place at this moment in history is especially powerful for us as we seek to mobilize our communities of different faiths to come together to affirm and support the reproductive freedoms we cherish and have fought so hard to achieve.

In the midst of all Meyers Newspeak, the most significant term is reproductive freedom, which is actually the Lefts code word for abortion on demand throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy. Abortion on demand is the freedom to be cherished and blessed.

According to HuffPo, Rev. Dr. Christine Y. Wiley, participant in the sacred blessing ceremony and co-pastor of Washington, D.C.s Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ, stated her Christian faith inspired her to support abortion:

Many people do not understand that there are many kinds of Christians. Conservative Christians dominate the television and Radio media and influence people to think that this brand of Christianity is Christianity. Although they have great influence, this stance is far from representing the true tenets of the person of Jesus Christ. As a progressive Womanist Christian who is concerned about wholeness in the community, especially for those who are marginalized and disenfranchised, my task is to do what Jesus did, to meet people where they are with love and understanding, and bring healing and freedom to them.

For Reverend Wiley, Jesus, being filled with love and understanding, is all for abortion.

Is the reverend aware of the Jesus who said that if anyone harmed little ones, he or she should be cast into the sea with a millstone around his neck? Does she recall that Jesus said to his disciples, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Is she aware the Christian Church she claims to represent has been against abortion from its founding in the first century?

Is Wiley, who is black, aware that Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, targets blacks? Has she looked at the facts: 78% of Planned Parenthoods clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but account for 35% of the abortions in America.

But to the clergy of the Left, be they black or white, within or outside congress, neither statistics indicating black genocide nor the horrors of sex select abortion nor the death sentences passed on Down Syndrome babies will ever temper their support of abortion on demand. It is an inalienable right that transcends the actualities of the abattoir that is the church of Planned Parenthood, whose representatives have been filmed bargaining over the sale of baby body parts.

Most of the women in white belong to an essentially pagan death cult that elevates abortion to a sacred right and rite that is impervious to the claims of science and Christian morality.

That is why Nancy Pelosis claim that she is a Roman Catholic while she is a leader of the women in white is laughable. Her prime allegiance is to another faith altogether.

The allegiance to the ritual of child sacrifice is why the bloc of white robed women will fight the Trump administration tooth and nail when it comes to defunding the temples of Planned Parenthood. That is why they will wage war on any pro-life justice who might threaten to overturn Roe. v. Wade. That is why they will not do anything to defend the rights of little women in the womb. That is why they will continue to support the extermination of the handicapped within the womb.

Abortion is the sacrament that unites the Democrats women in white as surely as the sacraments of the Christian Church unite believers.

Christians are often dressed in white for sacred occasions: baptisms, confirmations, and weddings. Being dressed in white is a sign of new life, new beginnings, being born again, being redeemed.

That is why those who are believers are depicted in the book of Revelation as being given a white robe, the sign of the redeemed who have believed in the blood sacrifice of the God Man Jesus Christ, the perfect Son of God whose innocent blood was given for all who believe. They are transported with joy.

What will this same Christ will say to those who unrepentantly and proudly wear robes soiled with the blood of innocents? What will he say to those who bless death?

Will he bless them, or will he say, Depart from me. I never knew you.

There have been many interpretations concerning the mysterious bloc of women Democrats robed in white -- all the while pointedly ignoring President Trumps speech to the joint session of Congress.

Some critics compared the ladies to devotees of the Ku Klux Klan. Photoshopped images of them wearing the pointed hoods of the KKK almost immediately appeared, as some recalled the Democrat Partys commitment to the Klan, particularly in the 1920s.

The women themselves have said they were honoring the suffragettes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries while indicating their ongoing commitment to womens rights issues such as equal pay for equal work.
