Trump just endorsed a lawless bigot in Alabama. Here’s how Democrats will run against him
Washington Post ^ | September 27, 2017 | By Greg Sargent

Roy Moore, the new GOP nominee for Senate in Alabama, defied a court order directing him to remove a tablet bearing the Ten Commandments from a state court building. He has said homosexuality is a “crime against nature” that defies the laws “of nature’s God” upon which (he claims) our nation is based, meaning homosexuality is illegal.

President Trump enthusiastically endorsed Roy Moore this morning, describing him as a “great guy” who will help to realize Trump’s goal of making America great.

There is a Democratic candidate who is running against Moore in the Dec. 12 special election. He is Doug Jones. Will national Democrats seriously contest the race?

I spoke this morning with Jones’s senior strategist and media consultant, Joe Trippi. He said the Jones campaign would frame the coming contest as one “about integrity and character.”

“People in Alabama want a senator they can take pride in,” Trippi told me. “They don’t want to be embarrassed by Roy Moore.”

Moore’s lawlessness, anti-gay fanaticism and support for a profoundly regressive flat tax call for Democrats to respond aggressively and show where they stand as a party. Plus, special elections are quirky, and a former U.S. attorney running against Moore has at least the chance of winning over some center-right voters who are uncomfortable with Moore’s various crusades.

Yes!
Release the purse strings.
Relieve the members of Hollyweird and members of the Film Actors Guild of their wealth.

Spend, spend spend, to support the progressive candidate

Hire Jon Ossoff to run the campaign. He needs a job so he can earn enough money to marry his shack-up girlfriend.

Running against Roy Moore, and his beliefs, in Alabama is political suicide.

Go for it dim-whits!

(from the article) :" Jones’s senior strategist and media consultant, Joe Trippi.
He said the Jones campaign would frame the coming contest as one “about integrity and character.”

Roy Moore has more integrity and character than Jones
since Jones is running on DemocRAT 'talking points'.
Moore at least takes a stand on what her believes, and has a backbone.

Moore had been removed as Alabama Supreme Court chief justice by a judicial ethics panel for defying the court order on the Ten Commandments’ monument; after running again and winning, Moore was suspended again by the panel after defying the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

They have been trying to stop him for a long time now, but he keeps WINNING!!@ MAGA!
