Back on August 10th, I wrote a vanity post titled, I'm Sending Money To Support Roy Moore For The US Senate, How About You?". I made the case for my belief that Roy Moore is the best candidate for Jeff Sessions vacated US Senate seat from Alabama. In that post I said that the establishment will do all they can to defeat Moore.
Well, here we are a little over a Month away from the election, and the Swamp is now coming after him. With John McCain leading the charge that Roy Moore should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of. Along with McCain, the Republican leadership is quick to pick up on this and say, Hey, Judge, if this is true, you need to skedaddle. Plus the Elitist supporting "National Review" is also demanding that he step aside, and if he doesn't and he wins, then the National Review is calling on the Senate to expel him from the body.
We also have the elitists calling on Donald Trump to distance himself from Moore, so that a better, more qualified person can go to Washington to represent the great state of Alabama. Well I want President Trump to understand one thing. If he backs away from Roy Moore, and forces him to step aside, or if it causes Moore to lose, then I will not only back away from him, but I will work to defeat him in the primary in 2020.
Is there really anyone who believes this charge against Moore. Don't you think that if it were true they would have come out when Moore was running for the state Supreme Court? Not once but twice, Moore ran and won the seat on the State's highest court.
Mr President, do not help those who want to stop you, stop Roy Moore from getting into the US Senate next Month. Or I promise I will abandon you.
I back Moore and I definitely back Trump. Rather than vent at the President why not turn your anger towards the enemies? (CNN, democrats)
By President Trump. It’s long past time to bury McConnell and Ryan in the unhallowed ground of traitors.
A democrat will not win senate seat in BAMA
No way
Whites in that great sister state of mine vote 90% anti democrat party
Bingo...
If, IF said allegations are indeed true, Moore should step aside...
The President should not comment either way...
It will be used against him...
Give me a valid link and I will send 25 bucks to him
Okay....let’s play devil’s advocate for just a moment. Being out on the West Coast I do not know a whole lot about Judge Moore, say for his standing up to the removal of the Ten Commandants from the court. I do believe that Mitch and the boys are up to their usual tricks...but ike I said, playing Devil’s advoacate here:
What if and its just an if, Moore was randy as described back in 1979, turned himself around and buried himself in the bible to present a “holy” side of himself. 40 years is more than enough time to try and erase a “questionable” past.
Like I said, I do not know Moore, especially his early years...I did read tonight that he was divorced in 1980 and presumably re-married after that to his second wife of many years. Was the divorce in response to philandering? I do not profess to know, but these are questions that do need some sort of answer. It is not unknown for some to wrap themselves in the bible to hide transgressions.
I know that Moore has forcibly come out to deny the accusations. That counts for something. We will just have to let things play out for a day to see how this all shakes out.
It is a war between Bannon and McConnel and this is a shot to Bannon. I don’t know what to make of all of this. It’s a sure fire killer from McConnel for certain.
To be effective you should first learn the basic, proper usage of “then” and “than” before hitting the post button.
Who cares?
If the election of Trump has taught us anything it should be that the Washington/Media smear machine has no more influence than WE give it!
If Moore loses, it's because WE heeded the voice of serpents with a verified track record of playing us for fools.
I don’t think Trump will go after Moore. But Trump may let Moore face his own test. If Moore had to be propped up, how good was he?
I believe Moore knows this. I have seen no indication he bears Trump any animosity.
What can we really expect out of Trump anyhow? Beyond “I don’t believe the allegations”? To go further would be to roll around with the skunks.
For Trump to back Moore at this point would be backing a “potential” Senator against an “actual” Senator.
Not a great strategy for the dealmaker.
Should Moore win, the entire dynamic changes.
The one thing we DO know for an absolute certainty from this election is “the Washington establishment” doesn’t think people like us are “fit for office.”
*** There was a wapo person in Alabama town offering a women 1,000 ***
I think it was on Imperator_Rex’s feed. Woman contacted by WAPO reporter @BethReinhard has given information on the offer of $$$ to a DA in AL according to what I read.
Reading Reinhard’s bio and Twitter feed, I can believe it.
Unless Moore plans on hiding out until the election, he is going to have to address this on camera and take questions.
The sooner he does this, the better off he will be.
Here is the Twitter thread which has more info about the offer of cash for makng up trash on Roy Moore.

I tweeted Trump chastised him for what he is doing, Roy deserves support.
Do nothing McConnell should resign not Moore.
The GOP establishment would rather lose the seat to a Democrat than see it won by an anti-establishment candidate, even if of their own party.
