Does it matter? Is Strange running this time? I haven’t heard he was.
That you don’t know who Strange is matters enormously. Why do you think the AL GOP voters so easily nominated Roy Moore over a Presidentially-endorsed Strange ? If you don’t know that story, you’re not going to be in a position to make informed comments on this subject.
I understand Strange is not running. So that’s good.
A lot of people seem to think that Strange should have been the nominee and he would have won against Jones, including Trump.
The way he got his appointment to the Senate reeks of corruption in the way, as AG of Alabama, he handed the corrupt governor (who was facing impeachment) a get-out-of-jail-free card in exchange for the appointment. There is no question that the Rats would have made a big issue of that in the general. And who knows what Gloria All-red might have come up with by dragging a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park (an old James Carville reference).
Would Strange have won? I’m not so sure, but at least he would have had the full support of the GOPe/swamp in Washington.
And for the record, I am not supporting Moore in the primary. If he wins, of course I would have to support him.
Too bad the GOPe/swamp couldn’t have done the same. They were pissed that the swamp-approved candidate wasn’t the nominee, so they chose the next best thing...a democRat.
Hopefully they won’t try the same stunt this time if their preferred candidate isn’t the nominee.
And Trump had damn well better throw his full support behind that person whoever he happens to be.
