No, nothing is stopping you from posting the whole thing here.
Okay Mr. President, Moore’s officially your man now.
You will now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him right?
President Trump had agreed to endorse Mr. Strange as a favor to Sessions and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who knew Strange would be far easier to control than Justice Moore. The GOP establishment in Washington and the real conservatives, i.e., Never Trump morons at the National Review and Weekly Standard, had all gotten behind Big Luther as well, mainly because they knew he would be more loyal McConnell than to the President. But President Trump clearly preferred Mr. Moore, and everyone, including Strange and McConnell, knew it.
Going into the primary, an increasingly desperate GOP establishment issued stern warnings, telling voters to vote for their preferred milquetoast candidate because, well, he would be so much more electable against Democrat Doug Jones in the special election that takes place on December 12. Why do they make that specious claim? Well, because, uh, well, ummmm because, er, uh, because they like Luther better!!!!!! Seriously, I have no idea, and neither do they.
But the establishment, undeterred by its utter inability to reason logically which makes it look increasingly like a bunch of Democrats (mere coincidence?) took it even further. They told voters that a win by Moore would make it more likely that a bunch of pro-Trump people would be nominated for senate offices in 2018, and that, for some reason they also dont really explain, would somehow make it more difficult for the GOP to retain and even expand its majority in the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections.
Wait, what? Did I miss something? Havent we just been through two years during which Donald Trump first swept to the Republican presidential nomination, in the process defeating a field of 16 mostly milquetoast establishment opponents, and then slobber-knocked The Most Corrupt Woman in America in the general election? What part of that are GOP voters supposed to ignore?
McConnell and his do-nothing minions in the establishment claim to worry that the Presidents current poll ratings, which sit in the low-to-mid 40s, mean that the Party needs to nominate a slate of candidates that are less loyal to Mr. Trump and more loyal to the DC Swamp. Mind you, this reasoning comes from a Senator Mr. McConnell whose own approval rating in his home state of Kentucky is below 20%, mainly because of his refusal to do what is necessary to enact the Trump agenda. Overall, the approval rating for Republicans in congress seldom gets into double digits in opinion polls, mainly for the very same reason.
So yeah, it makes perfect sense that GOP voters would want to nominate a bunch of establishment squishes who would follow Mitch McConnell around on a leash, expand the DC swamp they elected Trump to destroy, and help Mitch get nothing done for another six years. Seriously, do these people ever look at themselves in a mirror, even for a moment?
One can only wonder what Mr. McConnell and the Bill Kristols and Stephen Hayess and Karl Roves of the world will tell us after Roy Moore wins Decembers general election by about the same margin with which he just dispatched Big Luther? What will the talking points be then? I have no idea, but I do know that most GOP voters just wont care.
Heres what the real bottom line of all of this really is: loyal Trump voters, AKA the vast majority of the GOP voter base today, dont really care about whether or not the Republican Party has a majority in the Senate, if that majority is largely made up of RINOs like John McCain, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and yes, Luther Strange. They see the results of the first 8 months of this congress, and realize the results would have been little different on the big things they want to see done had the senate been in the control of the Democrats.
So when Mitch McConnell, the leader of that do-nothing Senate, tells them that Big Luther is so much more electable against a Democrat than Roy Moore, they honestly just dont give a flyin rats ass. They want to nominate the guy who they know is ready to go to DC and help Donald Trump clean out the swamp, not help the swamp shore itself up with more do-nothing dikes.
And that, my friends, is why Roy Moore is now the official nominee of the Republican Party, and why you will see a bunch more Roy Moores become nominees for senate and house seats in 2018. GOP voters realize they have a lot more work to do in order to get all the skunks and snakes cleared out of the DC swamp, and they are perfectly willing and increasingly able to go do it.
Just another day in dying RINOs America.
That is all."
LOL
Great news. Does this change much objectively at the moment? I assume Strange was likely vote for the latest repeal bill?
