Montana voters seem hostile to their own self-interest in electing an opponent of Obamacare, which will look (would have looked?) after more of them than the Republicans' brutal plan.  But Gianforte is a religious man, which counts for almost everything in places like Montana.  He has spoken against retirement, for example, saying that it's not mentioned in the Bible.  He cited Noah as the model for developing public policy on the question, noting that at the age of 600 he was still able to construct the ark in anticipation of the flood by which God killed everyone (men, women and children throughout Europe, Africa and Asia) but Noah's family.
