Alabama all over again.
Governor appoints stooge (Luther Strange).
Conservative runs against stooge.
McConnell insists Trump endorse stooge because they’re the incumbent (and McConnell will do this or that in return, or NOT do this or that if Trump doesn’t).
Conservative defeats stooge in primary.
General election is closer than it needs to be; Democrat could win.
McConnell gets stooge or democrat but not a dreaded conservative.
Mission accomplished for McConnell.
Yep, post 12 pretty well nails it!
Well said.
McConnell gets stooge or democrat but not a dreaded conservative.
Mission accomplished for McConnell.
McConnell and Romney are definitely tacking the GOP to the left. They see the warm welcome back much of the base gives to Rip Van Sessions and know they have nothing to fear from conservatives.
