Alabama voter here.
McConnell created this problem. He came to Alabama and threw all of that money behind Luther Strange, who very few in the state wanted. Then he started the mess with Roy Moore.
I don’t think Roy Moore did anything wrong. However, that does not mean I support Moore. I don’t.
Mitch McConnell needs to get his butt out of Alabama. He will screw this up again.

I agree. States like Kentucky, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama can do a lot better. The GOPe types in those states rose to power by overthrowing very corrupt Democrat establishments. Ideologically, they were and are mushy middle of the road types. They are left of their constituents. Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander are the archetypes. That era is over. The issues have changed, the world itself has changed.
Don’t you find it rather strange that when Moore was the candidate all these women came out of the woodwork at the right time? Sort of like with Kavanaugh. How come they didn’t continue to persue a criminal charge of rape? They did their duty and destroyed a REAL conservative. You can pile on him all you want but I don’t like seeing this display. I can’t stand Bitch. I’d rather have Moore any day of the week. Any man that stands for God and His commandments is ok with me. There are more important things than politics...like taking a stand against the establishment.
One more for Team Turtle. Moore can find a new hobby, something he’s better at.
OK, but you are not going to get Moore.
If Moore is the nominee. you are going to get Doug Jones for SIX LONG YEARS. He will not have to pretend anymore.
If the people of Alabama chose Moore to represent them, Congress needs to shut up...
Stranger things have happened in politics. You never know. Not only did they torpedo Moore they got Bannon as well. The establishment doesn’t want true conservatives. They’ll do ANYTHING to destroy them. And many people are fooled by their tactics.
Moore had his vindication with the USSC decision on the Bladensburg Peace Cross. It is time to retire from public life.
Hannity was on some kind of search and destroy.
“I’m with Trump and McConnell on this.

Likewise. And I will be voting in Alabama.”
As will I. No shortage of out of state “experts” on Alabama politics. :-)
Moore will probably be generally disregarded based on the 2016 fiasco. However it’s early we also need to see who else jumps in.
Yeah, when he slows down on the one thing he’s been good at, it’s really a problem. I think his somewhat impressive performance on the judiciary is motivated mainly by his desire to stick it to Harry Reid. That’s fine, but let’s keep it moving.
If he can’t win in Alabama, he needs to give it up and find something else to do with his life.
You just answered your question
It’s always been like that here
Used to be worse
Social conservatives were derided here as paleos and bigots
” I’m with Trump and McConnell on this”
Me too.
The man is not fit for Federal office.
“The Bush League Republicans always vigorously oppose anyone who would side with the citizens and the rule of law.”
You know Trump opposes him, right?
I noticed that too.
You know Trump endorsed Romney and McCain among other duds and Bush League Republicans, right?
Because he had too. Get off that dumb talking point.
