I like your analysis.

My suspicion is that you are correct that Moore will prevail.

“By not developing true skills and authentic family/community networks, they’re just hollow shells. Like drug addicts, they’re constantly looking for their next fix. This is just a game to them; it’s what gets their dopamine receptors firing as they excitedly meet over dinner & cocktails.”

Good points, but they conflict with your last post, in which they were fighting for their lives.

I agree that the mid-terms are critical. But I think you are wrong if you think this is mainly about the politicians. Many of them are just pawns. The Big Media players are more powerful than senators.

We have an advantage in that we are more tuned into reality than the opposition, who really are in a bubble.

But some of them know what they are doing, and are playing Macchiavellian games. Maybe most of the politicians. But they are playing by old rules and the rules have been changing.

“Roy Moore is a dangerous man...”

The only portion of the article that was truthful. He is a danger to those traitorous swamp dwellers.

Moore is done, toast, finished. The media will crucify and hound him over this for as long as it takes until he drops out.

You don't know Roy Moore, and you don't know Alabamians. I'll vote for Roy Moore even if the Deep State murders him and stashes his corpse. It's WAR against the Uniparty now.

Yertle the Turtle is behind this mess. He needs to be kicked butt first out of the Senate.

They really hate it that the voters get to choose in this country. Maybe we should turn the primary process over to David French and the NR so they can tell us for whom we can vote.

I hope that ALL good Alabamians think like you! Go get ‘em! And, take a car full with you.

Let the AL GOP know that you won’t allow your votes to be thrown out, over this unsubstantiated accusation.

Great synopsis, but short on solutions. The biggest issue of all is conservatives have to work for a living, while liberals get to fund their protests off our tax dollars.

Has anyone thought of harnessing the potential power of Bill Buckley’s spinning remains? He’s probably doing around fourteen thousand RPM by now.

Small town, age of consent 16, up and coming young attny, hometown boy done West Point good. Mothers would be throwing their daughters at him and sisters would be crawling all over each other to get in the marriage line. Just sayin’

Mr President, if you abandon Roy Moore, than I will not only abandon you, but I will do all I can to defeat you in 2020.

Sounds like typical democrat smear bullsh*t, with some help from their RINO assh*le buddies.

Tell her to prove it, Roy.

Ok, in response to the numerous posts expressing the same sentiment: yes, I am aware that they are, and for a very long time have been, fighting against conservatives, common sense, etc. That was the unspoken part of my post...

National Review was ALWAYS a CIA front. But it published lots of great stuff for decades. Now it is just transparently a globalist rag.

I disagree, Moore, like Trump, does not back down from a fight.

Really, a 53 year old woman says he ‘whatevere’d’ her when she was 14? First utterance from her?

Gimme a break.

Alabama will see right through this and he will be their senator.

Hey, you dickwads at NR: if Pub candidates fold every time a fake sex assault accusation is mounted against them by their opponents, then EVERY GOP candidate will always have a fake sex assault accusation mounted against them.

It is sickening to now see turnaround’s Dana Loush and katie Pavlich on Fox News, daily, as commentators.

The minute either one appears, click goes the channel.

I will never forget their ugly NeverTrumpism.

“They can’t stand a strong Christian.”

Especially a Christian well versed in constitutional law, and unafraid of bucking errant leadership.

Moore will be like McCain, albeit inverted and to our benefit.

They do not wish to be made to deal with him.
