"We're dealing with a political political environment that I've never had any experience with," Strange told supporters gathered in a hotel near his home in suburban Birmingham, perhaps speaking for his shellshocked Republican colleagues, who are wondering if the same is in store for them. "The political winds in this country, right now, are very hard to understand."
Moore, a firey social warrior written off early in the race because of past defeats, emerged as the frontrunner after round one of the special GOP primary, and never looked back. It was a sweet moment for his committed following. He pledged to take their mission to a Washington.
"I'll fight for you at U.S. Senate. I'll fight for the people of this state and this nation who want to bring our country back to its greatness. We can and we will," Moore told jubilant supporters gathered in an activity hall in Montgomery, the state capital.
The votes were tallied just as McConnell pulled the plug, yet again, on Senate legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care law, because it lacked Republican support. Voters here, not to mention GOP insiders involved in the race, said Strange suffered for it — even though he was aligned with Trump and for the package, while Moore pledged to oppose it.
"I am sick — up to here — with these do-nothing Republicans," said Moore supporter Johnny Creel, 56, who lives and runs a small insurance agency in upscale, suburban Birmingham, the heart of Strange's electoral base and just down the road from where he resides. "I love the judge because he doesn't back down. Luther has jumped in bed with Mitch McConnell."

drain the swamp
Sen. Yertle (RINO-KY) is hiding inside his shell.
===”We’re dealing with a political political environment that I’ve never had any experience with,” Strange told supporters...-—
Get used to it, RINO. The Sleeping Giant is awake and just beginning to wipe the sleep out of his eyes.
To quote the great Ronald Reagan: “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
There.......fixed-a-mundo.
Reality Reset
Roy Moore defeats Luther Strange in Alabama in huge blow to Republicans Rinos and Unicrats in Washington
Winds of change...McConnell, et al, take note. Corker has.
Looks like there are several like minds up and typing this morning.
Snort. The heck they are. But y'all keep telling yourselves that. And see where it gets ya. Heh heh heh...
The NFL should take notice of this primary. Americans are fed up with politics as usual, including mindless protests by millionaire athletes.
So glad to hear that Roy Moore won & I’d think that other real Republicans would be glad as well.
“The political winds in this country, right now, are very hard to understand.”
They are not at all hard to understand if the political elite would ever get out of their insular world and actual SPEAK with their constituents. They may find out that we “deplorable people” are not as dumb as they think we are. We are no longer willing to sit down, shut up and let the politicians tell us that they know best!
Will the GOP get the message? They didn’t when Trump was elected... they won’t this time either.
Sessions is on Fox and Friends. I don’t want to hear what he has to say... he has not lived up to my expectations .. he has no drive to see justice... and his words are empty.
If you disagree with an “elite” then you are defacto stupid, to them.
They’re not hard to understand whatsoever!!

First of all, conservatives need a lot more candidates like the judge. But at the same time, conservatives must vet their candidates very thoroughly to make sure we do not get “faux” candidates, who say the right things, but when elected take off their masks to show the RINO beneath.
Importantly, several RINO infiltrators have been elected, and though likely for a single term, they do a lot of damage.
To get extra serious about this, their local party needs to hold their feet to the fire, in the extreme even compelling them to sign a resignation, countersigned by the party leadership, that if they betray their promises, it will be published, permanently ruining them.
Yes, this “hardball”. If they refuse to sign, they will get no support from the party, and the party rules should be such that they cannot even run on the party’s ticket.

Okay. I’ll make it easy.
1. Democrats suck.
2. The Republican establishment sucks even worse, due to their constant lying to the American people and inability to get ANYTHING done for our President.
If you’re part of either group, you do not deserve support by the Trumpists.
An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, idiomatic references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common.
