Plan was to pivot to Trump.
I’ve already seen 2 or 3 msm articles bringing up the Trump accusers.
Franken blew their plan. Reveal of use of $15m in taxpayer funds as sex assault Confressional slush fund blew their plan.
Moore will win just as Trump won.
Democrats will be the net losers from this.
The Storm has arrived.
There clearly was a plan to revisit the Trump accusers. It’s backfired. Completely.
But this is a Russian controlled site as I recall. So, not really interested in it.

**************
The congress is suffering from extremely low ratings and nasty revelations such as the one you point out. If there’s one thing we can be sure of its that they don’t like the spotlight shined on their unpopularity and transgressions.
For that reason, I predict the senate will find a way to pass the tax cut legislation despite its antipathy towards Trump. Imagine if you will, the spectacular failure to produce constructive legislation for the American people in one year, under the backdrop of ever widening distrust and disgust by the voters. The congress in general is facing some serious back draft from voters next year if they don’t produce and clean up their act.
We will get some for of a tax cut if for no other reason than to redirect our focus and/or change the conversation for a little while. They don’t want us to know what sordid things go on behind the curtains.
The RATS will really lose if McConnell goes down because of this. He is their secret weapon!
A year ago, a good friend told me that “Trump will be removed. If not by legal means by other means”.
The Deep State does not want Trump.
If this ploy fails, it may end up being more extreme means.
“Democrats will be the net losers from this.”
NO, the GOPe will be the “net losers!” In this particular battle, the RATs don’t really matter.
I so hope your prediction is right.
As long as sustained immigration continues to change red states blue, our nation's fate is sealed.
Well, sort of close (this article). The battle really wasn’t about Trump. This was (is) a battle for the Republican Party between the McConnell establishment squishes and what has now become the Bannon insurrection. Trump is playing the middle...or at least trying to...rising above that fray.
I do think that the Democrats are playing a bait and switch here by throwing Clinton overboard and saying now that all women must be believed and bringing up Trump and Clarence Thomas, who are still around while jettisoning the Clintons and the relatively safe Franken seat (the money negotiation with Franken right now must be fun). But that is the Democrat play and will fail miserably.
The battle is really McConnell vs. Bannon - and the rancid U.S. Senate is scared to death, they know how much the “peasants” in the country hate them. McConnell’s play was rank desperation to keep an enemy outside of his fiefdom. Bannon nuked him by taking out a sitting Senator - and card-carrying member of the establishment - while also blowing the Moore accusations out of the water. And Bannon did it all while only directly attacking Democrats...Franken, Allred and the lying accusers of Moore. A beautiful play on Bannon’s part, and when Moore wins, the momentum in the battle will be all his.
This is very much UNDER-reported.
Question: What percentage of the $15M hush-money was Dem versus Republican grabasstic behavior?
I have a feeling that the President has a few cards up his sleeves to defend against anything McConnell and the dem’s try to throw at him.
It’s unfortunate that it has come to this point, but for the career politicians and their puppet masters, theirs obviously too much at stake for them to lose.
I have suspected that the Uniparty has been planning to have girls come out if the woodwork to claim that he did something inappropriate to them. Bank on it.
