Mo Brooks seems really solid from the times I heard him.

Donald Trump will drop out of the race. He will never be the nominee.
Hillary will win in the biggest landslide in history. ..

Yep, being guided by rumours and the false assertions of others instead of what is right works out...for those initiating the rumours and false assertions.

You are clueless of the support Moore has in Alabama.

I have several friends in Alabama and from Alabama that support your statement.

ALL say Moore is the hands down favorite among Alabama residents because of his strong stand while an Alabama Supreme Court Justice..

Two Conservatives running against a Ditch Mitch Candidate. Moore (one of the Conservatives) is leading with 30% support. Sheesh, shouldn't he have at minimum 33% support.

Why do Conservatives always run more than one candidate against the GOPe? How do you spell “STUPID”? It's as if we really don't want to win.

One story circulating around AL is that if Moore wins the GOP primary, the Democrat will win the special election.

With the way that Democrat candidates are losing elections, special or otherwise, how will Judge Moore be beaten by Mr. Generic Democrat?

More and l am with you. Keeping McMaster despite everything is more than l can take. His excruciating inaction to stop the coup is just shocking. Now he’s endorsing Strange it’s all too much. He knows his base but he has lost touch with what we are thinking.

I like Roy Moore, but I think we get the same votes with Brooks as we do with Moore, and a lot less controversy. I’d be happy with either.

21 ... You are clueless of the support Moore has in Alabama.

As an Alabama citizen, I think I am a little closer to the matter than you are. Go Californicate yourself.

Moore is 70. Strange is 64. Brooks is 63 and a member of the House Freedom Caucus.

Trump is 70. Hillary is 69. McConnell is 75. What's your point?

As RINO heads explode. Can’t wait to see McConnell detonate when his “boy” (Luther Strange) goes down to defeat.

Roy Moore in the Senate. I’d pay admission to see that.

Age has been mentioned as an issue by other Freepers. I was just providing the facts. On balance, if Mo and the Judge have an equal shot at beating the Democrat, I would go with Mo based on the actuarial table in the hope of getting a longer GOP tenure. Mo and Moore are equally acceptable politically to me.

If Moore wins, the general election is going to be a serious slugfest. The Dems and GOPe are going to be going all in on his defeat.

What does Moore believe on IMMIGRATION and the wall...the only issue I care about? Mo Brooks is rock solid, and Luther Strange is not.

I lived in Ga and Alabama, I trust Moore and I know for a fact that Alabamans trust Moore more than any other politicians in the state.

I still have friends in Phenix City

Cal does suck, but not where I live.

I would put my conservative credentials against yours any day, and know that you would come off looking like a a leftist from Paris France

No Democrat will win in Alabama. That is just an excuse for Strange.

Moore is Solid Old Time Christian Conservative Constitutionalist. He will die fighting the left before he ever changes a vote to make some lefty or RHINO like him.

Mo, supported Ryan as Speaker, and trashed trump until it looked like trump would win.

Moore supported Trump early, plus, Moore eats liberals for lunch. and goes against Rhinos like a pt bull in a dog fight. He never ever backs down, he doubles down.

As good as trump is against the left, he could take a lesson or two from Moore on how to take on the left.

Consider this about Moore, then you decide how conservative he is. He even refused to give into the US Supreme Court on their liberal leaning rulings that go against the constitution.
Moore would certainly be an outlier in the Republican Conference and proudly brags about being “not part of the establishment.” He was removed as the state’s chief justice in 2003 for opposing the removal of a Ten Commandments statue from the state Capitol, but was later elected again, before then being suspended for not enforcing the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage. He maintains that anti-gay marriage position today and says the Supreme Court had “no authority” to legalize it.

Since Mo Brooks isn’t going to win or place, if he throws his vote to Moore, it will guarantee he will win, and go to Washington immediately, instead of having to wait for the general election.

In return, Roy Moore could likely secure Mo Brooks a good Trump administration job that would strongly help Alabama.
