RNC reverses, will support Moore in Alabama
The Hill ^ | 12-4-2017 | Jacqueline Thomsen and Olivia Beavers

Posted on 12/04/2017 7:02:13 PM PST by tcrlaf

The Republican National Committee is reinstating its support of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after initially cutting ties over allegations of sexual misconduct, The Hill confirmed on Monday.

Breitbart News first reported that the RNC had decided to step back into the race just hours after President Trump fully endorsed the candidate.

Two sources confirmed RNC's renewed support.

"We can confirm our involvement in the Alabama Senate race," an RNC official told The Hill.

A second source close to the RNC told The Hill that "the Breitbart story is real."

Trump endorsed Moore in a tweet that blasted out to millions of his followers as well as in a follow-up call aboard Air Force One, in which the president said, "Go get 'em, Roy."

Probably the RNC saw their fund-raising drop through the floor when they and the rest of the GOPe/RINO bunch joined with WaPa smear campaign. Plus, now that the polls have shown that Moore is virtually certain to be elected, the RNC, McConnell, Trump and all the rest feel that it’s safe to stick their chickenshit necks out of their shells.

“What we don’t know for sure is if Moore is guilty as suggested.”

all of the actual evidence to date shows that it’s a put-up job by a bunch of liars and forgers.

Personally I question the RNC move, if they know about the new woman and think its real, they could hurt him by pulling back out. Do not trust them happened to quick then a hint of new Woman coming out.

Reminds me of the 1990s when Clinton was opposed to welfare reform and then later ran to the front of the parade as if he’d led it.

The real story in all this is that the RNC is back to endorsing him. Aiken (and others) have been thrown under the bus for far less and now they have a spine? This is the first time in the history of ever that I recall them doing that.

What changed???

Fair weather friends beat having no friends at all.

Not sure about that. Moore is proving they need him more than he needs them.

Maybe Chuck U. Schumer and Nasty Pelousy’s tantrum on Thursday(?), plus the Tax Bill not getting one ‘rat vote woke the RNC up to the realization that they should not GIFT that AL seat in the United States Senate to a baby killing, open borders, amnesty pushing, tax and spend democRAT.

I hope the Crow the RNC is eating came from a week old road kill.

I think the internal polls also showed that Roy Moores support is independent of President trump and that going after Roy Moore is not as destructive to the republican party as going after trump but locally in Alabama it is even more destructive. it also helped that all the allegations have been shown to be falsehoods or very big stretches of innocent activities.

Bingo!! I have been waiting for this to be about the screams and agony of our unborn. When I look at Jones or whatever his name is, I see not his image, not his face but the after effects of the brutality inflicted on the innocent splashed about him, covering his suit.

Make it plain as day—and most candidates could win in most places in this land.

Kick the murdering mobs down the pier Moore, on to victory.

Why do you compliment Romney by giving him even that level of respectability? That is an insult to steaming piles everywhere!

Does this mean I should send the $16 to the NRSC to secure my Trump Christmas ornament?
