Roy Moore hits back at Trump in defiant interview
Politico ^ | May 29, 2019 | James Arkin

Posted on 05/30/2019 3:16:26 AM PDT by C19fan

A defiant Roy Moore brushed aside Donald Trump’s warning not to run for Senate again, telling POLITICO on Wednesday that Alabama voters are capable of deciding for themselves whether he’s fit for office.

“The president doesn’t control who votes for the United States Senate in Alabama,” Moore said in a phone interview. “People in Alabama are smarter than that. They elect the senator from Alabama, not from Washington, D.C.” The scandal-plagued former judge said he is “seriously considering” running for Senate again and plans to decide in a “few weeks.”

“People in Alabama are smarter than that. They elect the senator from Alabama,

Yeah and those same people rejected you.

If people from AL vote for Roy Moore they will reelect Doug Jones. If Doug Jones gets six more years in the US Senate they get what they deserve.

Roy Moore is only thinking about himself, not the people of the state of AL.

I refuse to believe GOP primary voters are stupid enough to throw away a slam dunk election against Doug Jones in 2020 by nominating this guy again. Moore may get a plurality in a crowded field, but he’ll be toast in the subsequent run-off.

Maybe Jeff Sessions and redeem himself and running to put this guy away....

Given that Jeff Sessions is almost solely responsible for the mess we are in with respect to the fake Mueller investigation and having to deal with Roy Moore

Voter fraud was reported in the alleged defeat of Roy Moore, but the media and social media giants quickly censored the posting of those reports. Huge amounts of money were spent to try to defeat Roy Moore.

“Voter fraud was reported in the alleged defeat of Roy Moore”

Oh please.

Alabama isnt some swing state.

Voter fraud should not be our version of “The Russians!!!!” when it is absurdly clear that this clown lost all on his own.

That didn’t defeat Moore. His own background and his abysmal failure to adequately address it, even in a relatively friendly interview with Hannity put him away.

He needs to man up and move on. America needs that Senate seat back in 2020.

In 2012, Roy Moore was on the same ballot, in Alabama, as the Mormon heretic and major league scumbag aka Mitt Romney. Moore was running for AL Chief Justice, while Romney squared off against Obama. Moore garnered 22% fewer votes than Romney. Moore is a lazy bastard who took the weekend off before the Doug Jones special election to watch a football game instead of rallying GOP voters to turn out for him. He does not deserve a second chance.

In Alabama, we have voter ID requirements, no early voting, and limited absentee voting. Are you saying these measures don’t work?

They nominated him before all the stories came out, before he lost to Doug Jones. He has the stench of political loser all over him now.

Statewide primary voters don’t renominate the Roy Moores, Todd Akins, Christine O’Donnells and Sharron Angles of the country.

Jeff Sessions and Roy Moore need to return to private life, or get behind a better and new candidate without making it look like the candidate has anything to do with either of them. Ya, that would be nice...

They don’t work, because the votes are tabulated on machines which can be manipulated. Just a data entry, and voila!, as many votes as you need.

Check out the late tabulations in Democrat controlled precincts in the last Senate race. They literally entered the vote amounts they needed to defeat Moore.

The paper ballots are retained and avaialable for recount if necessary. If vote fraud were truly suspected, Roy Moore could have called for a recount of the paper ballots.
