Luther Strange would've been a 'yes' vote for Kavanaugh.
Has Trump tweeted his opinion on the allegation?
Has Trump tweeted his support for Kavanaugh since the allegation?
Has he retreated to the background as he did with Mooore?
One thing I think we don’t give Moore enough credit for is he brought to the table an understanding of how federal courts have limits on what they can tell state courts to do (similarly to Congress isn’t allowed to make up all laws — most laws should be left to the states).
Discussion of his stance on the 10 Commandments always focused on the 1st Amendment while he kept trying to focus on federal courts overreaching state courts as much as they do federal laws.
Moore had seven women accusing him.
You might be too young to remember the 1950s. “Girls” all married in their teens (not quite all, maybe - but if you were a guy who graduated without being engaged, you were not going to marry a classmate. They would be snapped up very quickly). Mostly, of course, by men a year, or two or three, older).No comparison to Kavanaugh.Tradition and culture changed. My own grandmother married at 15 or 16, grandfather was 30 and widowed with a son (having lost his wife and a daughter to disease). In Ireland the tradition was that a man didn’t marry until he inherited his father’s farm - and a twenty-year-old unmarried woman was a “spinster.”
So considering a marriage of a man to a young woman “creepy” is a very modern perspective.
The accusation against Kavanaugh seems astonishingly thin, even by the standards of the Moore fiasco. But in the sense that both are transparent political hit jobs, there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference.
Thanks.
Lets hope they don’t have six more up their whatever’s in this case.
I keep his Twitter feed up 24/7 and so far nothing....
That would be a another disaster however the trouble they had finding this one indicates they don't.
I still remember all those denied accusations by Herman Cain till one came forward with cancelled person checks that his wife didn't know about, then Cain pulled out of the race,
Yes, they had “the goods” on Cain, but Moore did not seem to know how to reply to the allegations against him. It was terrible that he left the state on the Saturday before the election too.
>>>And Strange was and is a corrupt swamp creature
Who voted with the President every time.
As would Moore.
The candidate SHOULD have been Mo Brooks (87% ACU rating), but Yertle the Turtle and Trump supported Strange heavily in the primary. Strange might have had a difficult time in the general once the Rats went after him on the crooked deal with the crooked governor that put him into the Senate.
Moore was a repeated Pedo creep.
And I don’t even like Kavanaugh but I don’t think a high school misdeed while drunk (and not a real crime) should keep anyone, right or left, liked by me or not, from a SC confirmation.
He was given a chance on Hannity a friendly interview and he came off terrible.
In this case, this is bigger than Kavanaugh. There aren’t people who haven’t done anything wrong as a teen. Thus no one will ever be fit for the SC. It’s a very bad precedent.
If Grassley caved on the Thursday vote and brings this bingo in for a hearing spectacle then a pox be on the republicans.
President Trump doesn't give a s**t about ACU ratings. He has two criteria: Is the guy electable. Will he be a 'yes' vote on judges and MAGA.
Strange was the incumbent. Trump isn't going to "fire" the guy (by endorsing someone else) without good reason.
In the end however, the blame goes to the 650,000 Trump-voting Alabamans who stayed home (all of them certainly believing that Moore would still win without their votes). Once Moore was the nominee, the bickering was over. You get behind the nominee and get him elected, warts and all.
I wish people would stop comparing Moore and Kavanaugh. Most of the general facts regarding Moore were shown to be true, and only a few particulars were being contested, even by Moore himself, who admitted he did ask under-18 women out when he was in his 30s, although “only with their mother’s permission”.
And there were multiple women, and some of them told others around them at the time the things happened.
This is nothing at all like the BK incident, where we have a single accuser (at this point), who by her own words told nobody until 30 years later, and whose “proof” is her own words, and her own words again told to a psychiatrist, who then she says GOT THEM WRONG.
Trump liked him well enough to endorse him in the primary.
Not just Roy Moore. Herman Cain, Roy Moore, Donald Trump. They have been trying this consistently and the RNC doesn’t fight back, so they win unless the individual being accused is very aggressive in fighting for themselves, like Trump was.
Trump can sometimes be a poor judge of character. Many people think Sessions was a miserable choice for the job. Omarosa? Yeah, what a great hire that was. Rosenstein? Gack!
But who cares if Strange is corrupt as long as he votes the right way. /s
