Buchanan right once again.

Pat ran on Trump's campaign platform against George H.W. Bush. He was certainly right about NAFTA.

He’s right on. 25 years ahead of his time. Goldwater waited 16 years for Reagan to succeed.

Pat is the only political writer worth reading.

It’s not. Virginia is pathetic as was the GOP candidate, Gillespie.

Complacency is our only enemy.

When Buchanan is right, he’s very good.

As usual, Buchanan Bloviates and misses the real point.

Alabama matters because it is a showdown of We The People vs the Uniparty Elites.

Trump 2.0.

I do believe the Senate and the judicial nominations are crucial.

One thing that screwed the Right, is Ryan and McConnell refusing to take advantage of their majority situations, and implement Trump’s agenda.

The public can be forgiven for being somewhat confused. To many it will seem like Trump failed on his major agenda items. We know that he did a lot anyway, but others don’t.

If we do lose the Senate, Mitch McConnell would deserve to be taken out, put in front of a brick wall, and...

Ryan would deserve to fallow along right behind.

These two men have screwed this nation over severely by their refusal to undo Leftist agenda.

This is a once in a 100 year chance to get things done, and these two have acted as an auxiliary defensive front line, while Trump tried to carry the ball over the goal line.

I have never even dreamed of such traitorous actions.

Totally unacceptable.

[[That Alabama Senate race could determine whether Roe v. Wade is overturned.]]

Holy crap- if that is the reason why the GOPe have opposed him so fiercely, then a pox on all their houses!

Stupid.

The Democrats have 25 seats up in 2018, while the Republicans have only 8

It is mathematically impossible that they could take anything

While I agree with the focus on WTP vs the Uniparty Elites, Buchanan touched on very important things.

The Senate majority and the judicial appointments are must haves.

This type of a judicial clean sweep very seldom comes along.

Good appointments will make changes to our judiciary that could last 30 year or more.

Appointing 40-50 year old judges to these courts, would mean they would be 70-80 in thirty years.

Where else can you effect change that will bring sound decisions for that long a period of time?

The SCOTUS is within reach of being protected for many years.

I have to agree with Buchanan here.

Let’s say we do have a clear Conservative majority for the next 30 years on the SCOTUS. The decisions made will carry on for many years after that thirty years.

We’re not just looking at a strong Constitutional court for 30 years. It would be a strong Constitution court for many years after that, as sound rulings were the basis for still further decisions after the 30 years had passed.

This is the ball game. The dems are terrified right now.

Why would Christian conservatives in good conscience go to the polls Dec. 12 and vote for Judge Roy Moore, despite the charges of sexual misconduct with teenagers leveled against him?

Because, unlike people like you, they recognize the politics of personal destruction, weaponized by the clintoons. This is a smear job, and it's sad that you don't recognize it as such.

Another reason, almost as big: People like Gloria Allred, Mitch McConnell, etc need to learn that libel for political gain is not just wrong, it is also ineffective.

Roy Moore needs to win, and then he needs to file civil lawsuits against those who documentably lied to libel him.

At stake is whether evidence/truth matters. If we give up on truth mattering, we may as well just say that might makes right, because that’s the only “virtue” that can carry the day where truth is irrelevant.

Yes.” Moore, despite the charges of sexual misconduct”

Here we have the new fangled loose and unbridled use of ‘charges’. Unless the accusations are an actual charge re legal allegation they are merely accusations. And any person can accuse someone of any bloody thing.

Goldwater may have been jealous of Reagan’s success. He endorsed Ford in the 1976 primaries. Goldwater can in many ways be called a “RINO” in sharp contrast to his 1964 campaign.

If the election in Virginia this year is a harbinger of what is to come, GOP control of Congress could be washed away in a tidal wave in 2018.

This. GOP #NeverTrumpers are trying to run out the clock on tax reform, immigration reform, and the rest of the Trump agenda, hoping that the House and Senate return to the Democrats.

This is why the Republicans need to act quickly on this important legislation and on judicial nominees.

He was jealous. Unfortunately, as it turned out, Goldwater was more Libertarian than Conservative and had little use for pro-lifer religious Conservatives being brought into the party in the ‘70s and ‘80s. His last two terms in office were a considerable disappointment and a prime example of what happens when a formerly respected individual stays in office far too long. Add to that, he largely embraced the radical homosexual lobby in his final years.

Exactly.

And why they’re trying to tank Moore. They want to be the disloyal opposition.
