Moore may be the first Trumpist to be elected into the Senate. This won’t sit well with the GOPe and McTurdle.
Judge Moore served as a Military Police officer in the US Army, in Viet Nam.
What did Mitch McTurtle do in the Army?
THAT there is the one reason I would vote for him.
Had his Senator get him out of the Army Reserve after only five months. This was during Vietnam.
My draft number was 9. I volunteered first & went.
Moore is exactly right. The swamp controls people with sex, money or power. Trump didn’t’ need these things and neither does Moore.
Run against the swamp!
Roy Moore will be great...Make Senate Great Again...
Moore is not really a Trumpist. He is an independent thinker and a social conservative and Christian idealogue. I don't think he will be controllable by anyone whether it be McConnell or Trump. To the extent he agrees with Trump's position he will support him.
Based on what I've seen so far I would imagine Moore will support most of what Trump wants. He will want basic conservative things we have been talking about on this site -- the wall, low immigration, lower taxes, no ObamaCare, no gay marriage, no homo's in the military, etc.
He may not be so willing to cut deals. Anyone who would lose their job as Chief Justice over the 10 commandments strikes me as less willing to compromise. But knows? This is a different type of job for Roy. So we'll see. It will be a breath of fresh air in Senate.
ROFLOL
This is the problem for the corrupted Democrat and Republican Party; they need the people to elect representatives who will submit to the political party before serving their oath to the people.
Bingo.
That's kind of a slap at the Alabama state GOP that supported him all along, isn't it?
Oh Roy, you really don’t know what you’re getting into do you. Of course you’ll be controlled. You’ll be a Junior Senator, you’ll wind up on crap committees that have no influence, and you’ll have no seniority so you’ll have no influence on those, nobody will partner with you on legislation so you’ll write no bills. Yeah you can vote how you want on the floor, but that just delays getting on good committees. The whole system is setup for control.
That was a good one!
Hubby went in the Navy in 1960-1980, was part of Operation Frequent Wind aboard the USS Midway that pulled the AMB out, and off the coast of Cuba during the Missile Crisis, rest of the time he either taught or fixed Flight Deck electronics. Ret as a SCPO after 20 yrs.
Had quite a few male cousins drafted. 1 still limps from a shattered knee.
SPREAD IT AROUND: POST IF YOU CAN. TRYING TO DO THINGS WITH A USELESS DOMINATE RIGHT HAND IS NOT EASY. 1 FINGER TYPING IS THE PITS.
