The last full week of messaging in Alabama’s primary for U.S. Senate has each leading Republican candidate declaring his support for President Trump, with one twist — the opponents of Sen. Luther Strange are lighting into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Strange’s messaging, which has been complemented by attacks on opponents for not supporting Trump in 2016, portrays him as a loyal Trump ally opposed only by corrupt power brokers.
“Those Never Trump insiders falsely attack me. I’m working with President Trump to drain the swamp,” Strange says. “. . . I’ll fight for President Trump’s agenda every day.”
Rep. Mo Brooks, who has been battered by ads playing back his 2016 skepticism about Trump, is running on his endorsements from Trump’s strongest media allies.
“I wrote a $2,500 check to help President Trump beat Hillary, and in Congress I vote with President Trump 95 percent of the time,” Brooks says. “So who are you going to believe? Mitch McConnell and Luther Strange, or conservative thought leaders like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and Mark Levin?”
And “Ten Commandments judge” Roy Moore, who has risen in the polls as his opponents have focused elsewhere, is up with a spot that puts the faces of Republican Senate leaders next to those of Democrats such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“Mitch McConnell’s D.C. slime machine’s spending millions spreading lies about Roy Moore,” intones a narrator. “Bearing false witness. Why? We know why. We all know why.”

If it goes down like MS, the McConnell anointed one, Strange, will win.
Mo Brooks, if elected will vote for McConnell for leader, just as he voted
and still supports Paul Ryan as Speaker.
Judge Moore is the only real choice.
His election as Senator will send a message to both the RINO’s and
the fake conservatives.
That no seat is safe.
Judge Moore bump!
I will be voting for Mo Brooks.
I’ll be voting for Mo. And probably so will my husband. Not sure about my two kids, 19 & 23 yrs of age. I’m guessing Mo too.
Roy Moore is a nut, but Luther Strange took a political payoff in the form of a Senate seat and pulled plug on an investigation of a corrupt governor.
The “nut” you speak about is leading all polls in the AL GOP primary
by a large margin.
There is a reason Mo Brooks is in 3rd place...with AL primary voters.
I am sure you can figure out why.
+1...bump for Judge Roy.
Yep. A smear job job from a corrupt Senator.
Sad that this grandstanding, blow hard, nutjob is leading. He will continue to embarrass Alabama.
Yep. The same corrupt senator Brooks will vote for as leader of the senate GOP.
Vote Roy Moore. He’s crazy, but at least he’s not a crook.
If the media had any honesty at all they would report the dirt on Big Luther.

I was thinking Brooks was the best candidate but I’ve changed direction. Now I think Brooks is just in it to siphon away votes from Judge Moore.
Judge Roy Moore!!
The best candidate in the race!!
Quote for the Day” Both POTUS, Trump, haters & traitors, Mitch McConnell & Paul Ryan must go!!! Senators & House Representatives....broom the both of them tomorrow morning and call both the House and Senate back into active session, immediately. Get to work you lazy, useless, incompetent, buffoons and do the people’s work & legislation.
Kind of “strange,” if you will, President Trump just tweeted his unequivocal endorsement for Strange.
Understood, Strange was Mitch’s guy and kind of expected POTUS to support either Brooks or Moore.
BTW, it was beyond outrageous how McConnell griped that President Trump was expecting too much too fast from the legislative branch. Mitch’s time is up and we need a new majority leader asap!!!
“Sad that this grandstanding, blow hard, nutjob is leading”
You do realize that that is just the way the News media talked about Trump.
