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.

Per Wikipedia: “Trippi has worked on the presidential campaigns of Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale, Gary Hart, Dick Gephardt, Jerry Brown and John Edwards. He was campaign manager for Howard Dean.”
Moore must be shivering with fear...
Did anyone notice how the article fails to cite an poll data for the General Election? Sorta makes you think the numbers are not trending Dem.

So what? The democrats and the MSM ALWAYS say that about every Republican — even if Judge Moore was a black woman with a life-long history of working to protect civil rights, they would still find a way to call her a Trump supporting racist. I think no one cares anymore about this label, it is meaningless, and has lost its ability to harm.
Please demoncrats. Shovel every last penny into this race. Surely you’ll win it all this time!
Our bonus comes the evening of Tues, Dec 12, 2017 when Judge Moore decimates Jones and the RATS realize all their bucks were for naught.
The democrats might as well close up shop and go home. Roy Moore is a shoe-in. He is unbeatable in Alabama.
No they don’t. I think this is an Alinsky thing.
The Compost would have called Big Luther the same thing, since he is white, male and heterosexual. Judge Moore will be “literally Hitler” within the week.
Republicans they call “lawless bigot.”
Democrats they call “obama.”
Same meaning, different spelling.
