Trump knew all this probably...Moore was pretty much a loon long before this...thanks again bama...
The morale of the story is trust President Trump.
I wonder if had Moore won, even with a decisive victory, he’d still be very much that immediate centre of controversy with the Dem/RINO people and their friends in the media yelling sexism, racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, etc and that there was even the idea being floated that they would not even let him take the seat without a formal inquiry into his past (regardless if fair or unfair).
Maybe and hopefully, the continued exposure of establishment corruption can still be the centre of attention even more so without Moore being in the immediate picture.
Exactly.
It doesn’t explain one thing, though, as McConnell was down there attacking Moore mercilessly and running hit piece ads. If McConnell knew of these accusations, he would have dropped them prior to the primary to save Strange. No way Trump knew of the accusations. The WaPo timed them after the primary on purpose in my opinion. If they did them before, someone else would have won. Trump just had good instincts and realized Strange was not controversial, would vote with him the majority of the time, and would easily be palatable to Republicans who are conservative and more moderate. He’d have won in a landslide.
Most folks knew Moore was playing a game to advance himself when he pulled the ten. commandments stunt. I hate that a socialist was elected and I would have hated to see Moore win-—Luther Strange was a brown noser to Mcconnell so we had losers all around. Jeff Sessions should have remained in office where he could have done some good rather than stumbling around the justice department looking for excuses to not do his damn job.
I still won’t rule fraud out.
The Republican voters stayed home and they’ll do it again.
Pass Trump’s agenda or the mid-terms will be a blood bath - the Republicans will stay home - we’ve seen it before. The problem is I don’t think the Republicans care - for 2 reasons:
1. This whole leading thing is hard and they don’t like the responsibility
2. And more importantly: they can’t let Trump succeed. How do you let a non-politician come to DC and fix everything in less than 2 years when they couldn’t do it for decades - besides, the don’t want it fixed.
So, be ready for next fall - it will be as ugly as this race was.
Well I dont know if he knew or not, Trump does seem to have a sense for that kind of thing. He for sure knew something, Moore was known as a loon for quite awhile really, even here in Ga we knew it...
But you are right Strange would have easily won... now I wonder just how smart Jones is. He is in a deep red state... he is either going to be a very conservative dem... or if he were really smart, switch parties and probably be there for life...
exactly, i rememeber hearing those kinds of stories for years about him...
Better a brown noser than a lib... but its a deep red state so i suspect he wont be all that lib, or probably if he is really smart, switch and stay there for life...
However, it is highly likely now that he will be a one term President; and this is thanks to the cesspool GOPe.
[As an aside, what did NancyP say about OCare ... you can read it after we pass it - IIRC without a single Republican vote. That is raw political power, something the GOP has never understood.]
“However, it is highly likely now that he will be a one term President, and this is thanks to the cesspool GOPe.”
BS!! That is an asinine statement.
Good post. I know Trump backed Strange...I’m just wondering what Alabama Republicans saw in Moore that they didn’t see in Strange?
Flashback to last September:
Swamp creature/lobbyist Strange wasn’t exactly a great choice either.
A possible answer is at the link I just posted .
We told Trump he was wrong and helped McConnell go back to foot dragging mode when we didn't follow through by supporting Moore with everything the Left supported Jones with - I saw one stat that said Moore was outspent 14:1 over a certain period of time.
