Didn’t even get past the visceral hate of the first paragraph.

Plenty of blame to go around in the AL debacle - not to mention the usual Democrat chicanery - but this writer is delusional if he thinks that there isn't a GOPe that is desperately trying to hang onto power. That group is the reason that we have a battle within the party to begin with.

I’m very happy and think God is in charge, but I also believe that Corporatist Uniparty elites run the political system and took out Roy Moore.

They’ll get Trump next if they can.

I even put it into writing.

Hindsight is 20-20. Strange would have kept the seat. Ivey should not have called for special election. Anybody in Calif. remember our conservatives nominating Bill Simon for Gov? Stupid.

I stopped reading a few sentences in after I realized this article was written by an idiot.

Were you aware that Strange would have been accused of corruption and collusion in stopping the investigation into the governor of Alabama in exchange for that Senate seat to which he was appointed... by the governor?

Strange would have been hammered as a corrupt politician involved in quid pro quos.

Rod Blagojevich's name would have come up.

I think if Jeb was elected we would be going through the same process with the rats. The only difference would be Jeb wouldn’t fight. He would do what his brother did and ignore it. And we saw where that led us.

We need to put all of this in perspective.

Soros and company outspent Moore 14-1.
The republican establishment was against Moore.
The liberal establishment was against Moore.
The MSM gave Moore a major beat down with the sexual misconduct stuff.
The evangelicals decided it was best to stay home than risk voting for Moore, even though the sexual predator stuff was debunked.
The write in vote was 2% that could have put Moore over the top.

And with all of that and the potential Democrat “cheating” that happens in the inner cities, Moore still held Jones to under 50%.

If anything, I would say Bannon did great.

I make no criticism of Bannon. I think Bannon did as well as any man could have done, it's just the enemies were willing to go dirtier and with more force than they have ever done before.

Losing always makes Never Trump nit wits happy.

The Republican party is called the stupid party for good reason.

Republicans have only once won a majority of the popular vote for president

Who cares? Trump won by more than 70 electoral votes and states Republicans hadn't won since the 1980s. He's the one that expanded the party, not never Trump morons who believe in selling out conservative principles to expand the party.

Exactly. They would have hammered him as bad or worse than Moore. The difference is the allegations would have been true for Strange. That’s why he lost i in the primary.

Brooks just came out and said he has prostate cancer.

What if Trump knew about this and was the reason why he endorsed Strange, also knowing that Moore would be taken out?

The Rats would have probably disclosed Brooks' illness and forced him out too.

More proof that Trump has uncanny political instincts
