Politics is a bloodsport...but, it is also a people contact sport. When I learned back a week or so ago, that Judge Roy Moore was not out campaigning in public...I knew this political game for Moore was over or, at least on a dangling, dangerous lifeline.
One of the many major reasons that Democrat, Hillary Clinton lost her POTUS run to Donald J. Trump is that she literally stopped major campaign activity starting in August, 2016...a big, major mistake. Pressing the flesh of voters is an absolute must and, Doug Jones did exactly that many times over.
Roy Moore did exactly the same thing as Clinton...hid in the closet of protection, so he thought was safe & sound, and he would be OK. Not true!!!
POTUS, Donald J. Trump saw the flaws in the Moore campaign, back In September, 2017, when Moore defeated Luther Strange in a runoff election...stating that if Luther Strange had won the runoff the senate seat would be a safe one, ending with a big victory for Luther Strange in the December 12, election.
As much as Trump hates losing the Senate to a Democrat, I'll bet he is relieved that Roy Moore is now not a continuing problem for both him & the entire GOP Caucus.
You are right on the money...Steve Bannon is not to blame for the Moore defeat at all. The only person to blame 100%, is Judge, Roy Moore. A GOP Turnout of 50% in such a critical election, is devastating. and who is to blame for that mistake...Judge, Roy Moore.
Donald Trump was holding three to five major campaign stops every day in the last two weeks of the POTUS touching the flesh of voters. Hillary Clinton was resting at home on her laurels, about how great she is. Moore & Clinton are two badly flawed politicians.
Ted Stevens was a lousy candidate. Jack Ryan was a lousy candidate. Donald Trump was a lousy candidate.
Bob Menedez was a great candidate. Barack Obama was a great candidate. Al Franken was a great candidate.
Those who do not remember history post or tweet stupid sh*t about it online.
Rudy would only accept SOS, no other role.
That interview with a little girl was incredibly stupid
What’s the template?; send out an army of 14 y.o. sluts to attack our candidates?
THE SENATE RINO’S ARE HAPPY MOORE LOST
THAT TELLS YOU EVERYTHING.
All this morning there is nothing but “See? We told you- let us pick the candidates we want, or we’ll let them lose”
And the never Trumpers are giddy.
Moore was a terrible candidate. He ran better than Strange would have, but Moore was not going to win this election.
It's the Democrat version of voter suppression.
The Media Death Star, though crippled by President Trump, was staffed by Republican senators in this case. They were working for the enemy - just as they were in the 2016 election...
I feel sorry for Laurel.
Yes it was. I couldn’t believe anyone could be that tone deaf.
Whats the template?; send out an army of 14 y.o. sluts to attack our candidates?
High minority turnout, relentless negative ads against GOP, pro athletes campaigning, media carrying their water, bullying GOP into not fully supporting Trump, etc.
Trump isn’t going to win in 2020 against an energized Dem base if his party does not fully support him. It’s that simple.
We dodged a bullet with Moore’s loss. We have two years to get our act together.
Idiots like you are the reason Moore lost. Congrats -- Trum and the conservative legislative agenda will be even harder to pass now.
You're completely brain dead. You're no better than a Never Trumper.
Who gives a damn? The loss was solely the fault of the idiots that wrote-in another candidate, the GOP cutting off fudning for Moore and smear job on Moore by the left.
The uniparty won and you're happy about. You're a sock bastard.
Make sure this image gets stuck in people's head. I bet 21,000 conservatives saw this, shook their heads and said dammit man. And so they stayed home.
Sadly, Biden could have gotten away with it. Dems would have thought it was hilarious.
Nope teeny loving Crazy Roy was to blame... no one else...
whine and cry all you want...
It's the same mentality in 2008 that handed Dems everything and gave us Obamacare and nine trillion more dollars in debt.
The Bushes, Jeff Flake, McCain, etc. are the embarrassments to the party that undermine the base and hand Dems win.
Anyone opposing Moore opposed Trump's agenda either intentionally or by default.
Look..you are right...but Judge Roy Moore knew the odds were stacked against his from many sides, including his own party.
But....so did Donald J. Trump. The entire world was against POTUS, Donald J. Trump. The difference between Trump and Moore is that Donald J. Trump is that DJT, was like General U.S. Grant. He was a fighter...and he never stopped fighting until he defeated the Confederacy.
Moore certainly did not have that NYC street motivation MoJo!!! Moore was reactive...not...proactive. “The Lord helps those that help themselves”!!!
I am thinking Trump might just be asking himself the same question.
Ok, So Trump loses then what? The GOP is f’d either way. They need to get on the Trump train or we are all going over the cliff. The ball is in their court. The Swamp Creatures scored last night. So what.
