Discussion: Alabama's Other Senator Calls Roy Moore 'The Favorite' To Win In Alabama

Strange is trailing in spite of a hearty endorsement from President Trump

In the interest of influencing the legacy of Donald Trump as a failed politician and leader, I would endorse the use by the national media of the hoary cliche “full throated” to describe any and all endorsements by Donald Trump.

Both fingers crossed for Moore. :wink: Its a win win. He upsets McConnell, either by winning (and tars other republicans with his views) or by loosing (in which case he claims he was kniffed by the “moneyed elites/swamp”), either way more primary challenges are in the offing. Corker’s retirement is directly related to how well Moore is doing.

Plus it puts this seat possibly in play… :smiley: One other note that may not be obvious, is that Moore really is a populist. It is possible that he would not vote for Trump’s huge tax cuts for the rich…

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) (pictured, right) gave a fairly candid assessment of the closely watched Alabama Senate GOP primary runoff on Tuesday afternoon, admitting his preferred candidate, appointed Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) (pictured, left), was the underdog.

They both look strange, to me.

Being elected to the Senate from Alabama is essentially equivalent to winning in a Biggest Ignorant Anti-Science Racist A**hole Contest.

No way Strange can compete with Roy Moore in this department.

Just gonna gawk. Can’t root for Moore - we have enough nutz in Congress, Moore makes Cruz look tame.

But would love to see Trump’s reaction to being beat by influence by Bannon Extra bonus, I think Hannity is interviewing Bannon tonight on TV. A little salt to rub in courtesy of Trumps favorite tv host? oh my.

Definitely going to enjoy some popcorn tonight.

We just flipped a Florida state senate tonight!–great news, and more evidence of the #BlueWave that is upon us.

And Doug Jones is primed to give Moore a race for his money in Alabama. One way to contribute is to get on Twitter and follow @TuscaloosaDems and other groups that are giving Jones the support he needs. And there’s a lot to be done in Virginia in the next 2 months too.
