GOP hopes Alabama loss is wakeup call for Trump White House
Associated Press ^ | Dec 13, 2017 8:01 PM EST | Zeke Miller

President Donald Trump managed to endorse two different losing candidates in the same Senate race, a setback that is highlighting an experience deficit within the White House political team. […]

Republicans in Washington and around the country say a bungled approach to the race — in which the president wagered his party’s moral authority with nothing to show for it — should serve as a wakeup call for the administration going into what is sure to be a challenging midterm election year.

“This White House is not working on all cylinders,” said Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary to former President George W. Bush. …

George Bush Junior ran and hid on 9-11.
Then he padded in stocking feet into a mosque to stammer and stutter about the “Religion of Peace”.
Then he covered for the Saudis role in the attacks and other terrorism..
Then he wasted courageous Americans’ lives invading the wrong country.
Then he managed to INCREASE Islamic immigration into our homeland, while scheming to further open our borders through massive illegal alien amenities.

Failed President.

He and his team of bought and sold globalists and Saudi bag men have nothing to teach us about anything.

Oh, please. You couldn't even get your guy across the finish line in one of the reddest states in the country.

You have absolutely no leg to stand on. Just go away and take your gaggle of loser candidates with you.

People like Roy Moore are not electable in 2017. Most of us were polite enough to keep our opinions to ourselves during the campaign but now that it has finished in a widely-predictable debacle, it's time to say, "no more fringe nutjobs!"

That is what Mitch McConnell and Dick Shelby were all about this state election was about. GOP vs Conservatives. The GOP snuck one overs on us with all this extra shit. I had higher expectations for my fellow Alabamaians on this. I was wrong. It’s a grumpy house here in north Alabama here. I am pondering how to give Dick Shelby a hard time right now.

Hey anyone from his office - Screw you!

It should be a wake up to the GOP. I have a bad feeling the midterms might make 2006 and 2008 look like good times.

I can agree with that.

But he got there because Big Luther went dirty when he should have stayed clean.

That’s why we rejected Luther.

Just saying it had nothing to do with President Trump.

He wasn’t creepy until the media put that on him.

Luther was dirty and all of Alabama knew it.

Trump should have supported Mo Brooks, if one is speaking with hindsight.

Luther Strange dropped a criminal investigation of a crooked governor and his mistress in exchange for the senate seat.

No one in Alabama was going to elect Strange after that. We had months and months of turmoil over this, including the governor being taped telling his 30-something mistress what he wanted to do to her breasts in his office next time.

They were robbing the state blind and getting away with rubbing their affair in his wife and her husband’s face.

And guess who knew all that and published the tape of the conversation that finally brought this mess to an end?

Cliff Sims.

Guess where he works now. No really, guess. You guessed at the White House? You are right!

So did Trump and Bannon have all of this information from jump street? Yes they did.

Don’t blame Alabama.

The problem came out of RINO support for Strange and their rejection of Mo Brooks, the people’s choice, apparently.

Now we learn that Brooks has been diagnosed with cancer. Contrary to the hope of many, including Ann Coulter, Brooks is unlikely to run again in two years.

I could not believe the anti Moore stuff from the Drudge Report. After a dozen years of Drudge as my home page I just deleted it and replaced it with Liberty Daily.

Trump endorsed Strange! Why is this a “wake up call” for Trump?
