It’s way past time to ditch mitch.
No shit.
While Mitch is a destestable weasle and needs to be replaced by someone with a spine...... the ONLY person to blame for this is Crazy Roy himself... Trump knew what he was doing when he didnt back him... now its pretty obvious why he didnt...When in doubt, Trust Trump.
The Turtleman was doing his happy dance last night.
Ivanka Trump and Jeff Sessions piled on Moore with their public support of the Moore accusers, so they have a part in the debacle. Sean Hannity’s often protest that a molester of a fourteen year old should not be in the Senate also undercut Moore.
Maybe this will inspire Trump to fire the ones in his administration who try to undercut his agenda.
Let’s see have fast the democrats flip a rebublican to the dems. and take control of the Senate.
I bit with the rest of them but sent regular donations in hopes of putting Moore over the top but the Left went whole-hog as we crossed our fingers, clicked our heels together and declared "I hope he wins. I hope he wins"...
It doesn’t matter Moore lost. The pubbies could have 70 senators and the fools would still let upchuck Schumer and the MSMwhores run the show. now we will be spared the sorry spectacle of sorry-ass republicans lining up - along with the demholes & msmwhores - to call for moore’s head. trump would have been branded a pedophile-by-association simply by speaking to moore on the phone, now moore is no longer an issue.
1. Roy Moore ... face it, the guy was an awful candidate.
2. the Republican voters of Alabama ... their vote (or lack of such) was clear on this one.
3. Gov. Kay Ivey ... why call a special election if the guy in office was originally appointed to serve out the remainder of his predecessor's term, unless the only point in calling for the special election was to get him out of office?
4. Steve Bannon ... is Moore really the kind of loser we can expect him to back in all these GOP primaries next year?
Item #3 is a big one. If the President of the United States was going to end up endorsing Luther Strange for the GOP primary anyway, then what the hell was the point of having the special election in the first place? HE WAS ALREADY IN THAT SEAT FOR THE REMAINDER OF SESSIONS' TERM.
Are you gloating over Trump’s “loss” or do you have sort of explanation why Moore is so awful?
More proof that Republicans don't deserve our my support.
Anyone who refused to give money to that dope comes off looking like a wise investor right now.
However, Roy Moore was the wrong answer, IMHO. There may not have been any truly "right guy" in the AL primaries, but there was at leas one "less wrong" guy. Here in Iowa, the brethren had to have their "Roy Moores" year after year... while the shiny pants and golfing brigade of the GOP wanted their bought-and-paid-for human turnips. By a combination of miracles, things improved (at least for a while) thanks to neither of them. Looks like AL has the same type of problem.
Nope simply pointing out what Trump himself said... there is a reason he didnt want Roy in there... but if you know better than Trump go right ahead.
Mitch McConnell is the Tip O’Neil of the Republican Party. Mitch O’Neil.
The sad part is the crazy on the right make the same sad excuses as Libs do for their guys, Oh they were all fake, what does it matter now, they are paid etc etc etc...
but at least Loathsome Franken is hopefully gone...
Dingy Ditch paid a high price to block the anti-Turtle Moore.
We need someone to back insurgents to challenge incumbents, and without a quarterback like Bannon to coordinate a national effort, it will be a haphazard disjointed movement at best.
Remember that Democrats have to defend 23 seats in 2018, and Jones has to run again in 2020. Republicans should grow their lead next year. After two years of Doug Jones, Alabama may sour on his liberal votes.
The problem is that without carpetbagging, Bannon will have to go with the best that each state has to offer. The hope is that a Bannon can attract people to step up and not run away from the cause because of McConnell's scorched earth fragging.

Roy Moore was tainted goods and the Democrats took advantage. They threw under the bus (Maybe) Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein and any number of famous leftist perverts to get evangelicals to write in enough votes to just beat Moore.
The Democrats also, smartly, waited till after the primaries were over to make their accusations. Time to wake up.
