"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."

What words? Whenever he’s asked about Hillary or Comey he refuses to comment.
Nice work if you can get it.

Pretty clear to me. Clueless swamp creature.
Not just nothing done for our president, but the GOPe has not gotten anything done for the American people. Congress has the power to make laws. Every federal law and regulation we have is because Congress wants it. They are worse than worthless.
And apparently a blow to Trump. I heard this morning he has deleted his support for Strange tweets.
“Here come da Judge, here come da Judge,
“Order in the courtroom! Here come da Judge!”
;^)
“...not hard to understand...”
Post of the day Monsieur DiBasquette!!! (I assume the deplorable basket).
You nailed it.
I saw Sessions yesterday. He was talking about political correctness and free speech on campuses. I agree that that’s important but when you add together the things he’s caring about...the DARE program, pot smokers, free speech on campus, etc......I really don’t see those as the most important issues. I’d think he has enough real crime in DC to keep him busy for awhile.
God Bless Alabama and those from other States who supported Moore via donations. GOPe being forewarned of things to come.
Tell Jared to mind his own business.
