UniParty against Trump.
Now, it’s UniParty against Trump & Moore.
Others will be added to the Trump & More side of the battle and less to that of the UniParty as the “unwashed masses” are now onto their game. At some point, the UniParty will be forced to strike back, even will violence if they have to. They cannot afford to let go of the reins of power. The love of that money is the root of their evil. It would be interesting to see their financial statements before & after UniParty affiliation. I suspect that they’re making millions of dollars “under the table” at the expense of the American People that they were elected to represent and look out for.

Reading Corker’s consultant comments makes me think Lindsey Graham’s health care bill was about protecting Corker et al in the upcoming elections.

Fake Federalism that it was....


Exactly. It was all beltway theater. McCain and Flake did the same with an immigration bill in the last Senate right before Juan was up for elected.

MY BS meter went off the charts when Graham and Johnson were appearing all over “conservative” radio pushing the bill. They basically NEVER appear on those shows. It was all PR.

To see the truth follow the money. How much money did Linda spend to help pass his bill? None as far as I can tell. OTOH, Dems have been spending millions on advertising to defeat the GOP obamacare “repeal.”

The GOPe just spent millions in a deep red state primary. But has no money to help repeal Obamacare? Follow the money...

Alabama Voters Reject Senate Candidate Backed by Trump

-Bloomberg headline

Note the headline didn't read, "Anti-illegal immigrant candidate won", or "Voters choose conservative candidate", or any number of positive headlines. Rather, in a very calculated manner, they seek to injure Trump.

The stunning defeat of President Trump’s chosen Senate candidate in Alabama on Tuesday amounted to a political lightning strike — setting the stage for a worsening Republican civil war that could have profound effects on next year’s midterm elections and undermine Trump’s clout with his core voters.

Stunning only to the hacks in the msm.

“....Make no mistake, McConnell and Ryan will support the dem candidate running against Moore....”
Yep. A typical classic UniParty move. We know this, but somehow we need to make sure that this info gets out to all the “unwashed masses”. I doubt these two azzclowns can make a dent in Alabama election, but just the idea of them trying is totally disgusting. Trump needs to get out and support Moore during that election...BIG TIME. Moore’s win needs to be totally shoved down the UniParty’s throat as an example of whats coming for them. Both Eddie Munster and the Turtle both need to be removed ASAP. They do NOT represent America....just their own bank accounts.

Love Bannon’s speech the other day. Free Trade is “Economic terrorism” on the American worker and taxpayer. Got to love that one!

I'm now beginning to question that: would they toss that majority in order to spite Trump? Given the infantile level of spite in the person of John McCain, I'm afraid they would.

So far, I'm not seeing any return on the investment of hiring Elaine Chao. I hope that firing her is the sign that McConnell is done as a leader.

“These clowns still don’t get it. Do they not realize that supporters of Trump don’t march in lockstep with everything he does?”

Like leftists who never watch Fauxnews and call it right wing, these freaks would never allow Trump’s face on TV in front of theirs, and only know what’s been provided to them in THAT DAY’s script.

I don't favor term limits for the Senate, as the states deserve to select whomever they want for as long as they want.

However, I believe the STATES have the right to choose their ambassadors to the federal government, not the people. Therefore, I support the repeal of the 17th amendment so that the state legislatures can select their own Senators who will follow the interests of the states or not be renewed.

The stunning defeat of President Trump’s chosen Senate candidate . . .

Stunning? To whom? From the git go, Strange was behind Moore. Moore would have won outright in the original primary if he'd not had so many competitors.

And, when it was just Moore and Strange . . . well, DOH.

It's "stunning" only because the Post wants to tout it to be stunning. Blech.

I know. But McConnell or some other establishment puke will pour millions of dollars in to defeat him, only to lose in the end. Better yet, if the media thought Trump was brash and blunt, that ain’t seen nothing yet!

And it’s only gonna get better once Bob (Kid Rock) takes on Stabmenow. I can’t wait.

Me too! I really do hope Kid Rock runs for the Michigan Senate seat! My question is, if he wins, will he become known as Senator Rock or Senator Ritchie (his real last name)? :-)

This is a very GOOD thing, even though Judge Moore was not President Trump’s first choice. It shows that We The People are not “Trump-Worshipers” and that we know we will not always agree with him on everything, but still support him as Our President. We stand for America, The Flag, The Constitution, Freedom, Liberty, and Justice For All.

We have proven to the dull, pusillanimous, ignorant, and false-accusing left that our support and love for our President is NOT a “personality cult”.

Unlike THEM, who are totally onto “Identity Politics” and will vote for someone merely because of their gender or skin color.

The Washington Post seems happy Judge Roy Moore won!

#Resistance isn't quite going according to plan.

In unison, the media will paint this as a defeat for the President, demonstrating how unpopular he is.

Let them. it just demonstrates how out of touch they are. President Trump will be delighted to work with Senator Roy Moore. He did his duty by showing loyalty to Luther Strange.

The Lamestream Media can spin this all they want. In reality, they're terrified about these primary challenges. It doesn't bode well for Establishment Democrats or GOPe, and their propaganda is as transparent as it gets...
