A Roy Moore Ricochet
US News ^ | 9/25/17 | David Catanese

Posted on 09/25/2017 1:50:56 PM PDT by cotton1706

Roy Moore's likely victory in Tuesday's Alabama Republican Senate primary is expected to embolden like-minded challengers to GOP incumbents next year, reopening a politically perilous intraparty fissure that will sandwich President Donald Trump between anxious party leaders and his boiling base.

Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, has led in every public poll against Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to fill the seat of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in February by a scandal-plagued governor. Three new surveys all place Moore up by double digits, solidifying his position as the front-runner.

McConnell has never campaigned for a democrat.

Some of us repeatedly and strongly warned freepers that Angle was a loser, we went unheeded, and were sadly proven right.

He’d rather have a Democrat than Moore.

No, he wouldn’t. That’s hyperbolic nonsense.

The President is also for Strange. Both of them will support Moore should he win.

Fascinating you are so mad at McConnell when it’s the President’s support that is like 100 times more likely to make a difference in the primary.

Fascinating that you are running interference for McCuckold.

fwiw, Angle was ahead in every single poll starting in the spring until election day. Dirty harry won with a 50K vote margin which is huge for NV. the vote fraud over compensated to make it look like it wasn’t fixed and they succeeded. you can’t challenge a 5% margin of victory with any credibility.

Nice dodge. I don’t like hyperbolic nonsense is all. Make no mistake, he’s done everything he can for Strange in the primary, including underhanded stuff most likely, but give me a break with that junk.

He and Paul Ryan are not my ultimate boogeymen.

The margin was too big for fraud to have made the difference. Democrats would never lose if they could turn a loss into a near 6 point win.

She was up, narrowly, in most polls towards the end, but not all, and that was after trailing during the summer.

She blew it, by being a bad candidate.

We’ve had a lot of those, both RINOs and conservatives. We could easily have 60 seats right now if not for poor candidates and strong candidates who decline to run.

I think that you are right. Last night in Fairhope, AL, Steve Bannon said that McConnell and his cohorts had given $30 million to Strange in order to defeat Roy Moore!

We could easily have 68 seats if not for the 17th.

He can give them money.

He gave $30,000,000 to Strange to defeat Moore.

McConnell has never given money to democrats. Unlike a certain other person, who’s endorsement of Strange was worth more than every penny in his campaign coffer.

As for bogeymen, mine are Chuck and Nancy. Obamacare was passed in the first place cause they had a large majority. McConnell left a Supreme Court seat empty for a year so a Republican President could fill it instead of Osama.
