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 natures 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 Trumps 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 Joness 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 dont want to be embarrassed by Roy Moore.
Moores 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 Moores various crusades.

Ha ha ha ha
The Democrats ran lawless bigots for president in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
A lib snowflake campaign might work in new york city, but Alabamans see right through it. First, it is irrelevant to a vote on the wall what Moore thinks of homosexual marriage. Next, opposing homosexual marriage is the historic position of 99% of historic Christianity.
Roy Moore will get over 60% of the vote. A snowflake campaign by his opponent will actually help Moore.
To the WaPo everyone in Alabama is a bigot! Which is so helpful to change hearts and minds! LOL! Please WaPo, more articles like this!
I give up. Where's he wrong?
Good luck with your theory, oh great Greg of the WashCompost.
I’m just fine with a flat tax, and I’m not rich. Opponents are motivated by envy.
WaPo hates him: yet another STRONG endorsement for the guy in the eyes of Alabama conservatives (and the rest of us as well).
I lived in Alabama & I can tell you Roy Moore is nearly a folk-hero, it will be a cake walk for him, but I hope the DNC will waste the money.
Its sad to say that most Democrats in Bama are more Conservative than most Republicans in Washington D.C.
Democracy dies on the pages of the ComPost.
Agree 100% with Moore's actions and words here. And most Alabamians also apparently do, too.
If the Democrat/Socialist Party is true to their words — “to show where they stand as a party” — even though (according to the Washington P-O-S-t) he is a “lawless bigot”, Moore will win ... and win big! (After all P-O-S-t, the thousands of “deplorables” in Alabama can only be expected to choose a “lawless bigot” over your “enlightened” Leftist.
This is your chance to get a Democrat senator in Alabama, DNC. Don’t back down now. Probably less than $100 million dollars can gain this seat for you. You can do it. Start spending now and don’t stop until election day.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA! Where the values of historic Christianity are still revered. I wasn't born here, but I got here as soon as I could!
The Compost still hasn’t figured out that the anti-establishment right uses their opinion as a reverse-barometer.
They will send more trannys?
Because the 10 Commandments and admonitions against homosexuality are God’s laws, the charges of lawlessness and bigotry against Roy Moore can NOT be true.
Let us turn our gaze of disapproval toward the accusers instead.
Nah, I think it might take $500 million and some violent attacks on Alabamians. (Not really, but both of those will make the Demonrats lose even more!)
Bring in that douche bag Jon whatever his name from Georgia to campaign for for Democrat. See how that works out.
Reverse barometer. Brilliant.
Oh, yeah, run Jon Ossoff, the carpet-bagging Pajama Boy!
