Senior Republicans in Washington are unsure about what to do about Roy Moore now that its become clear that their attempts to oust him as the GOP nominee for Senate in Alabama have failed.
Some Republicans argue that its better for Moore to defeat Democrat Doug Jones for the sake of President Trumps agenda, which would become imperiled if the Senate Republican majority fell from 52 seats to 51.
Others, however, contend that its better longer-term for the party if he doesnt come to the Senate. They see the prospect of losing a Republican seat to be a better option than the ongoing damage to the Republican brand Moore could create if he becomes a senator. [ ]
Moores lawyer, Phillip Jauregui, circulated a memo in his capacity as president of the Judicial Action Group, noting an uptick in speculation that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy may retire.
In her statement of support for Moore last week, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) said a future vacancy on the Supreme Court was one of her top motivations.

Conflicted? At this point they are scared to death of a Moore win. They took off the mask and openly used every dirty trick in the book to derail his election. He not only owes them nothing but will be highly motivated to oppose them at every turn. I’m sure he will just be waiting for the day he can return McConnell’s treachery back on him.
Maybe they will resign in protest.
No... the RINOcrats are too dishonest for that.
> its better longer-term for the party if he doesnt come to the Senate.
I agree. It would be terrible if Democrats started donating to and voting for Moore. I sure hope they dont do it!
“the Republican brand”
Don’t make me laugh.
Prayers for my Bama kindred. #RollTide.. so much for what’s his name calling Moore unelectable. I can’t think of him, the chuck n Nancy deal maker.
Amazing....Trump has unmasked everyone, just with his cell phone and Twitter account....absolutely amazing......
And, to further expound, everything that looks like it will doom Trump only comes back to boomerang and make him stronger out of the whole thing....also amazing

Best election EVAH!!
The GOP can shut the hell up. They got no room to talk about anything.
Two words: Ted Kennedy
Too bad Moore isn’t a young man (like the “damaged” Ted); but my guess he will be highly effective for the time he is there.
The Republican "brand?"
Do you feel branded? I don't.

Se, when GOP Inc. hatches a master plan, it never goes like they expected and it almost always fails.
“He was supposed to cower... “
Perfect. I wonder if there is a GOPe playbook - where they teach the new members how to perform this maneuver.
Doing so will manifest their opposition to the voice of the people of Alabama.
Never Trumpers and drive by media radio talk hosts were having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14 years old. For her accusations are the juiciest.All of which Moore denied. Because they hinted at and was actually accused by a group of being a “Ped”.A result after the above being gleefully reported and dwelled on in a touchy feel-ly manner. As if it came off of a never given or made police report which requires a sworn complaint.
All the accusations originate and are quoted from a media source which supports positions like abortion, gender reclassification, gay marriage, and nullification of religious influence on culture. All of which are solidlly opposed by candidate Roy Moore.
Despite that fact and that it has been uncovered that his accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this. but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” then when examined turns out to be questionable
Worse yet even though these accusations have been solidly refuted. The general public relying on certain venues including talk show hosts are not being told what’s been uncovered. .
Here is background on 4 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts
Latest charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts
someone named Roy or Ray signed it Moore’s last name was added to it. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appear with his signature in that year book. Because she would do so to verify his signature only on his court rulings.

They are still conflicted that Trump is President - for the same reasons they are conflicted over Moore - they both have very conservative views and fight back....
Exactly. The GOPe definition of better for the party long term is that they are in the minority and get to complain without actually having to do anything. But that’s not good for us or the country.
Love your links. Then I read that CNN touched up the photo to make all the ink look black. Who puts dates in your yearbook signature? No one. That D.A. thingy is so funny it’s laughable.
Dont be a TURKEY, everyone...... please donate monthly, even if its just $10 / month.
What would we DO without FReeper page? Worth it for no popups or advertising. Jim needs our help.
Lets wrap it up, folks! THANKS and have a GREAT Thanksgiving.
unpaid message straight from the heart. :)
Which is worth a warm bucket of spit.
