Mitch McConnell-Backed Super PAC Likely Sitting Out The Alabama Senate Race
Huffington post.com ^ | 10/11/17 | Amanda Terkel

A Republican super PAC backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has no plans thus far to support Roy Moore in Alabama’s special Senate election.

“First of all, we hope those who helped Moore in the primary will stay focused on keeping this seat in Republican hands,” Senate Leadership Fund spokesman Chris Pack told HuffPost. “In terms of spending, we’re monitoring the race closely to see if Democrats demonstrate this is a competitive race.”

1. Their funds are drying up, and 2. They would NEVER help a conservative get elected.

Judge Moore & his campaign wouldn’t want any filthy lucre from the coffers of Sen. Yertle (RINO-KY) and his Corrupt Massive Government Do-nothing Anti-Trump Uniparty Phonies.

McConnell and the SLF would love to see the Dim win so they could say “see, we told you these firebrands can not win. Moore’s another Akin/Mourdock. You must back our establishment picks.”

...so their priority is NOT getting Republicans elected to the Senate, but rather keeping Tea Party types out, since that is where they put their money.

The PAC is for sitting senators. It has always been that was MCConnell is not in control Those in office are. HP is being a trouble maker trying to divide party.

Time for the NRCC to step up and prove they deserve donations ... my response to their requests is of that tenor as I donate directly to individuals these days.

You are not correct. He personally is not in total control but, his appointments certainly are and are tasked to do his bidding for him and his dirty benefactors, like the US Chamber, who ironically has now come out in direct opposition to Trump’s renegotiation of NAFTA, calling Trump “an existential threat”.

There may still be some “crossover” vote from the RINO’s in Alabama to shore up the Democrat challenger in the general election, but their numbers may still not be enough to make a substantial difference. Roy Moore seems to be riding a wave.

Doesn’t matter. They blew $30 Million to try to stop Moore while Moore spent only $3 Million. Moore doesn’t needs their money and backing,

Moore easily wins this without it and doesn’t need compromises by McConnells GOPe/uniparty taint.

” I donate directly to individuals these days.”

as it should be and I suspect it was in the beginning of our country’s elections.

also the beauty of our great country :) we can each support whomever we choose, not give money to a group which may support who we like but has shown us many times they will stab us in the back.

Millions to defeat conservatives in primaries; nada to support them against the 'Rats when they win.

Thanks Mitch.

Alabama should be a slam dunk. This would be like the Demon Rats pouring money into a California senate race.

Mitch ought to give a token amount, though, as a show of good faith.

Judge Roy Moore will have plenty of money, if he needs it. Steve Bannon & Company will bankroll him, if need be. Believe me, the whole country is watching this Senate Race, being held on December 12, 2017. Judge Moore will get what resources he needs to win, including campaigning in Alabama by POTUS, Trump...etc. He is the spear point of the Bannon/Trump revolution.

If Alabama Democrats are smart, they will not spend one cent in Alabama, for Judge Roy Moore will win in a landslide victory.
