Orrin Hatch: Trump 'didn't have any choice but to' endorse Roy Moore
Washington Examiner ^ | December 4, 2017 | Diana Stancy Correll

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said he didn't think President Trump had any other option than to endorse GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct.

"I don't think he had any choice but to do that ... that's the only Republican we can get down there," Hatch said, according to press pool report.

You’d end up with Romney.

Just go away, Orin.

You’re way past your ‘best by’ date.

I was just watching early CBS morning news. Remember that yearbook that was supposed to have been signed by Moore? Well, the reporter this morning showed a shot of it and said it was a “graduation card”.

The woman you saw on CBS this morning is a different woman than the one who produced the signed yearbook.(Bev Nelson) This new gal claims to have had a consensual affair with Moore when she was 17 - and has a signed graduation card from Moore.

If this old RINO is primaried out, you’ll get Mitt Romney. Mitt is even more unhinged about Trump being President than are McCain and the Bush Dynasty. Romney is a total tool of the global Masters. Never forget he threw the Presidential election to Obama. Besides that, if an incumbent isn’t running, who knows what dirty politics the dems will use to steal the Senate seat?

Trump endorsed Moore because he likes him and supports him. Trump didn’t endorse Moore because he thought he didn’t have a choice. He did.

Trump is never a victim or backed into a corner.

Moore was ambushed by well planned, coordinated, lying Media-Swamp nuclear attack. The Swamp miscalculated their timing (too early), and also didn't expect an effective counterattack by Moore. They also didn't realize the 'stupid redneck Evangelicals' of Alabama are far smarter than any of the brain dead Swamp creatures inside the Beltway.

At least Hatch has the intelligence to recognize this. The imbecilic Swamp Republicans telling Moore to quit the race believe that a Swamp Democrat is better in the Senate than a principled conservative. They are the ones deserving scorn.

I hear that Trump is trying to talk Hatch into running for re-election in order to keep Romney out of the Senate. Hatch is in his 80’s and had said he wasn’t going to run again, but Trump doesn’t need another traitor like McCain nipping at his heels at every turn, because that is exactly what Romney would be.

All of the underage accusers' claims fall apart with the slightest examination, like Gloria Allred's "yearbook proof" that was such a clumsy forgery that it was outed by low-def TV screen captures.

Exactly. They kicked off the campaign too early. It was just a matter of timing, since they needed to troll for loons, and didn’t know how long that would take. When they surfaced too early, it gave Moore a chance to fight back.

Look for a private intel firm made up of former spooks behind this operation. Like Fusion GPS, or Weinstein’s “Black Cube,” that was used to smear and discredit Rose McGowan etc.

These slimy and evil ex-spooks don’t just gather intel like gumshoe P.I.s, they do active ops to ruin and destroy people. Going back to Slick Willy, we saw them do this against Bill’s victims.

“Happy graduation Debbie,” it read in slanted cursive handwriting. “I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that you’ll be a success in anything you do. Roy.”

I looked it up. Yep, that definitely points to a sexual relationship or an attempted one.

the information age is causing problems with the dems digging up untrue dirt on a candidate. in the past someone smeared could not prove it a smear and then get the word out before an election is over. today with in 24 hours this tactic starts to fall apart. anyone bringing up rumor today eiter be sure it is accurate because it is just to easy for the victim of a smear to prove it a smear.

It is getting to a point where men can’t speak to or have any contact at all with women without fear. The end result of all this will be uglier than the feminist movement has been. As a female I find this disgusting.

Your comment makes me think of when (as a university student) I studied the Russian Revolution and Soviet regime. One of the more disturbing things I read were reports of people in Soviet Russia under Stalin who if they wanted to discuss something about work or the government with their spouses, they did it while lying under their bedsheets and using very low whispers because there were neighbours who were not above sticking their ears to the walls of apartments to try to overhear things said that could be reported to the Soviet secret police as being traitorous to Stalin.
