REPORT: Trump White House Weighing Replacing Judge Roy Moore With Jeff Sessions
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/13/2017 | by Joshua Caplan

Posted on 11/13/2017 1:35:50 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

New York Times reports:

One idea now being discussed under this scenario, brought up by two different White House officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, would be for Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama to immediately appoint Attorney General Jeff Sessions to what had been his seat when it becomes vacant again. Mr. Sessions remains highly popular among Alabama Republicans, but his relationship with President Trump has waned since he recused himself from the investigation of the role that Russia played in last year’s campaign.

And they are doing their deal level best to see that happen.

They might succeed in getting the Dim elected if they should manage to get Luther Strange, or someone other the Sessions to run as a write-in. I think Sessions is the only one in the state who could win on a write-in. At present, I don't think there are many highly regared Republicans in the state who are well known statewide.

But Moore could also still win if the accusations don't start sticking with too many Republicans voters.

What happened to due process? Judge Moore is being tried by media and establishment republicrats.

He ahouldd go back because he is fast becoming the logjam that could do severe damage to the presidency he supported so early and so passionately.

Completely illegal. Not even close to legal. Sessions couldn’t win in Alabama anymore any way because he has not prosecuted the felonies.

Sounds like fake news to me; however, Sessions would do just fine in Alabama - Jones would be fortunate to pull 40%.

The Trump/Kushners like talking to their hometown paper—on and off the record.

(And yes, the Times makes stuff up too.)

Ha ha. That would be a riot.

Somehow I don’t see a Senate confirmation in his future, however...

Doesn’t matter. They can replace every single ballot, take Judge Roy’s name completely off there, and I will still write him in. And if a write-in is not possible, I will tear up my ballot right there in the polling place, and I will never vote in another election ever again. I mean, why vote? The Deep State controls the candidates, the Deep State keeps out the ones they don’t want, so why even vote?

Have Sarah Sanders come out and announce that Trump is appointing Sessions is going to replace Moore, then an hour later, have Trump tweet out that, actually, he is appointing Moore to replace Sessions.

What the hell are you talking about? The US President doesn't have the power to control a STATE election!!!!

People, we might as well rip up the Constitution, because people have no idea what is in there!

If he was cavorting with an underage girl, I would have a big problem with it.

If he did that - way back in the 1970’s - would he also not have a pattern of deviancy in the 80’s, 90’s and this century?

A leopard cannot change his spots. Pervs like Clinton, the Podestas, Weinstein and other libs have a lifetime of sleaze. Moore does not.

I like this idea. Moore is an imbecile.

ARE YOU AN ALABAMIAN?

NO?

THEN SHUT UP!

Last April, the Gov had considered not holding a special election to save the state money. But he decided it would go forward. It is theoretically possible for him to stop this one, but he is apparently not going to do that. Sessions as write in will split vote and allow RAT to win.

What are you talking about? No sitting US President has the power to control a STATE election?

Has everyone on this message board COMPLETELY LOST THEIR MINDS?

The State of Alabama may have something to say about this.

Yes, and I brought that up myself a few posts back, when I mentioned he’s so squeaky clean they’ve had to go back 38 years to trump up charges against him.

“I actually like this plan, as long as Trump also appoints Moore to replace Sessions!”

Now that would be funny.
