Yeah but look at Alabama. Moore wasn’t a GOPe jackass. He was a solid pro-Trump conservative. Granted he was tarnished by the last minute smears but I have a feeling that even those who were squeamish about him would have come out and voted for him if they thought the risk of the Democrat getting elected were real. I think there is a grave lack of awareness of risk on our side right now, at least in the normally safely red areas. I almost wonder if the less overwhelmingly red areas might not be safer because they’re more on guard.
A large part of the problem in my view is that Trump appointed a mushhead as AG - Sessions is way in over his head and should have stayed in the Senate, where he towered over his colleagues. If Guiliani had been made AG, there would have been no recusal and no lousy independent counsel, and the AG would have gone on the attack from Day One. Instead, we have Rosensine, Mueller and mush, with the totally unnecessary loss of a Senate seat.
Totally agree with you.
