[Lnc-business] Fyi- Missoulian: Montana candidate drops out to endorse Republican

[Nicholas Sarwark]

But see this article:
"But as Breckenridge clarified in a phone interview this morning, it
is not true. The reporter on the original tweet misunderstood the
meaning of Breckenridge declaring he had more trust in Rosendale on a
particular issue bugging him this week: the use of political "dark
money" to send anonymous mailers; in this particular case, one
slamming Rosendale for wanting "to use drones and patrols to spy on
our private lives," while seeming to endorse Breckenridge as "a true
conservative" who "opposes government intrusion into Montanans private
lives."

"No, I am not dropping out" Breckenridge says, though he grants he
used the word "endorse" to reporters regarding Rosendale over Tester,
but only on the issue of rooting out dark money, which this anonymous
mailer has now made personal to him."
