Moore Wins in Alabama – McConnell’s Millions Couldn’t Stop Him
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 09/27/2017 5:27:14 AM PDT by davikkm

Alabama’s election for the Republican candidate is over, and a shocking victory by Judge Ro Moore has left the GOP reeling. SuperPacs involving tens of millions of dollars put in place by none other than Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell failed to crush Moore, and showed the country that it doesn’t have to be “Big Money Plays” in the Washington swamp.

President Donald Trump came out for the GOP favourite Luther Strange, who had the support of the Republican cartel, but on the other side were voices such as former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, and the always welcome, Nigel Farage.

This was a shocking result for both Republicans and Democrats. With Strange, they would have had someone who goes along with the party line and that the Democrats (although openly opposing) see as part of the establishment that they themselves infest.

Over on tweeter a few “conservatives” are hacking away at Trump for supporting strange Luther. Just for the sake of having something to say they are making believe they don’t understand that if Trump supported Moore and Luther won he would turn Luther into a younger pissed off McCain and a life long McConnell sycophant. Now Trump has his cake and eats McConnell’s piece as well. Very smart man we voted for.

McConnell is toxic and weak.

His former counterpart Harry Reid would have never failed so spectacularly.

So, you are saying that Trump gave himself two scoops?

This election is another that proves that campaign financing reform is unnecessary.

Not so.

The author of "The Art Of The Deal" .... dealt a winning hand.

I have never heard judge , now Senator Roy speak until this morning and, as a born again Christian, I thought I'd never hear the words from a politician I hear every week from my fundamentalist Baptist pastor, but the link I posted above is JUST what America needs.

And I believe Trump knew it going in.


The deal is an art form.

We are in good hands and the hands are getting better.

Pray for the safety of President Trump AND his family.

Satan is not pleased.

So the POS McConell spent 30 million to try destroy a GOP candidate. 30 million precious donated dollars which could have been used against Rats or to move public opinion on a given issue. Sickening. I loath Mitch and Lyin Ryan.

The Judge stills to win the general election in December before becoming the Senator.

All this $$ could have been used to defeat Democrats in upcoming elections. What a waste. Main reason I’ve not donated to “Republican organizations” in decades. Individual, conservative Republicans yes.

Then why delete the tweets?

Despite a winning hand, he didn't play his cards right and bet on the loser.

Meanwhile, the MSM are laughing at Trump over this “loss” in Alabama. They still don’t get it.
