Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore serves as a convenient dividing line. If Republicans cannot oppose a former state supreme court justice ousted twice from the bench who espouses rabidly anti-Muslim views and believes homosexuality should be criminalized, the GOP is truly headed for the ash heap of history. So how are they doing?
In certainly the most cringe-worthy move of his career, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), a former Texas Supreme Court justice, declared that was proud to offer my support to Judge Roy Moore for U.S. Senate. I look forward to working with him to pass legislation that will effect meaningful change for all Americans.
However, a ray of sunshine peaked out from the gloom on the topic of Moore. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) announced he wouldnt support Moore. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who has talked and written in eloquent, principled terms about our democratic creed and was one of the few senators not to endorse Trump, took a small step forward, breaking his sabbatical from moral leadership.
So the question remains: Where are the rest of the GOP senators and members of Congress on Moore? Can they bestir themselves to oppose a man surely as unfit for the Senate as Donald Trump is for the presidency? Listen, congressmen and women and senators move in packs. After a couple act, you might get a bunch more to stand up against Moore. And then another batch, and so on. As belated and comparatively mild as Sasses statement was, it should be welcomed. The more independent-minded Republicans are willing to push back against Trump, the better their party and our country will be.

Moore was ousted by liberals that did not like his Constitutional basis of his rulings. He had the Ten Commandments installed in his courthouse, I think it was his courthouse anyway, and the liberals struck with vengeance.
Sasse, another worthless trouble maker.
And just how many times is the wizened sage Jennifer Rubin breathlessly intone the Donald Trump had no path to the Presidency?
Go Moore
If France doesn’t get rid of this Charles Martel person Muslims will destroy France...
Judge Moore wants to lock up gay people?
Trump is "unfit" for the presidency... Right, and Shrillary was the most qualified, bestest person for the presidency, evah!!!
These people in the media really are living in an alternate reality.
If Republicans can’t oppose Jennifer Rubin they’re headed for the ash heap. Senators are state representatives, not reps for the self styled elite of coastal America.
Roy Moore is a mainstream Alabaman and has won statewide office there many times.
He will win this time, too.
And he realizes he is to be representing his state.
Rubin is just another undocumented Democrat pretending to be a concerned republican.
Oh no!
Of course, as we all know, if it REALLY would result in a disaster for the GOP, the media would support Moore 100%. Meanwhile, the media loves the RINO Never Trumper traitors, because they ARE the disaster for the GOP.
Time for them to get use to the
Seriously ... When I read this harridan’s rantings I get the impression that she’s spent her entire life in three places: New York, Los Angeles and Washington D.C.
I can’t wait to see Rubin’s face or read her column after judge Moore wins.

And Hillary Clinton is worried about the GOPe, too. How Christian of them to want to save the likes of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
If they keep this up, patriots can make a list of who to eliminate in the next two election cycles.
headling = headline
Only thing I see headed for distinction are skanks like Ruben, and papers like the WaPo!! (One can hope...)
She has to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink!
The problem for liberals is that their normal tactics of calling a candidate like Moore a "religious nut" and a "far-right homophobe" is actual considered a badge of honor in Alabama.
