Flush Strange.
“Strange now faces the challenge of needing to continue to court Trump’s supporters during a six-week runoff even as the national appetite for aligning with the president has diminished.”
Sheep and goats, people.

I suspect that most of the Brooks voters will support Moore in the runoff.
Mo should endorse him, and Roy Moore should help Mo Brooks unseat Dick Shelby.
Time to money bomb Judge Moore!!
I hope everyone remembers how Big Luther Strange got his senate appointment.

The state investigation into Bentley came to a head with Bentley’s resignation on Monday after pleading guilty to two misdemeanors related to misuse of state and campaign funds. And with the release of state investigative findings. the timeline around Strange’s appointment has become clearer:
On Oct. 20, 2016, Strange’s office issued a press release clearing former ALEA Director Spencer Collier of any wrongdoing. But the impeachment committee’s report, released Friday, outlined more than 100 pages of possible impropriety by Collier.
On Nov 3, 2016, Strange called on the House impeachment committee to suspend its work because of a “related” investigation and the committee granted that request. Five days later, Donald Trump was elected president in a stunning upset and then-Sen. Jeff Sessions was widely expected to join the administration, which was announced on Nov. 18.
On Feb. 9, Bentley announced his decision to appoint Strange to succeed Sessions, who had been confirmed as attorney general by the Senate the day before. Strange, on the day he was appointed to the Senate, declined to confirm such an investigation of Bentley existed.
On Feb. 15, Steve Marshall, who was appointed by Bentley to replace Strange as state attorney general, recused himself from the ongoing Bentley investigation and appointed a special prosecutor, Ellen Brooks.
Less than two months later, the impeachment committee - which Strange requested suspend its work — released its scathing report that resulted in Bentley’s resignation, which also included a guilty plea to two misdemeanor charges.
“It looks awful,” said Perry Hooper Jr., a finalist for the senate job that went to Strange. “It does. It looks awful. I understand why so many Alabamians are upset. It just looks bad - period.”
I also hope everyone in Alabama will recall how/when Big Luther paid his campaign girl....

Conservatives need to ignore Trump’s endorsement and vote for Moore.
Mo Brooks did well in Huntsville, but Luther Strange only won around five counties with three clearly suburban business type RINO areas around Birmingham and Mobile.
Roy Moore won most counties in the state with only three still not counted including a suburban Montgomery county and two more rural ones.
“Luther Strange?” This man really went through life with that name? There must be a Marvel comic hero with that name.
Did Trump back Strange because he would be the weaker candidate against Moore?
That's a helluva pretzel you've twisted yourself into, Washington Post.
LMAO....seemed?...SEEMED??

Weigel, one of the Wash. Post’s “hitmen” (others being A. J. Dionne and the vile Dana Milbank). “Hitwomen” are Dvorak and Sullivan.
People are strange when you’re a stranger...
Well, I don’t live there, but having watched the Barbour/Cochran fiasco a couple years ago, I hope folks will automatically vote against anyone Haley Barbour endorses.
Get ready for the MSM, Democrat left, and the Establishment Republicans to spend upwards of $100,000 between the Republican runoff, and the general election to defeat Moore, but it wont work. Moore will win with almost 60% in the runoff and about 70% in the general
Mo will probably endorse Moore which should result in Moore beating Strange. However Strange seems to have access to all sorts of campaign money. Trump is on the wrong side of this race.
Get a load of the wording of that headline, talk about burying the lede.
65 of 67 counties
Moore 40%
Strange 31%

I'm sure there's later results on the web, but I'm too tired to pursue them, LOL.
Looks like a rout to me....hmmm.....

Could The Washington Post sound any more out-of-touch with GOP primary voters in Alabama?
I’ll send Moore a few shekels, I think
