The ad for Republican Rep. Mo Brooks starts with the sound of five rapid-fire gunshots, screams to “Stay down!” and wailing sirens as white words appears on a black background.

“June 14: A Bernie Sanders supporters fires on Republican Congressman. Mo Brooks gives his belt as a tourniquet to help the wounded. What’s the liberal media immediately ask?” the text says.

I am having a difficult time picking for this Senate race. If some of you have comments that might help, please chime in. I do not have time to research this right now. I would like somebody to specifically address the Luther Strange ad that frames Brooks as anti-Trump.

Thanks

Brooks is a bit too theatrical but I can never back McConnell’s horse in a race. Easy choice here.

Brooks or Chief Justice Moore. Too bad we can’t get Dick Shelby to resign and get them both.

Congressman Brooks need look no further than the Obama OFA, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Hillary and Kane, the list is long and ugly. Trying to pen a shooting on the Second Amendment is a way for Brooks to gain a little ink....another RINO?

I did not have a “feel good” about Luther Strange, but you two confirmed my feeling. Will focus on Brooks and Moore
