Everybody knows that Donald Trump drained the swamp so that he could find the monsters at the bottom of it to fill his Cabinet…
I wonder what holy conservative Phyllis Schlafly relic Ed Martin will bring to show the crowds?
Honestly I think AL deserves Moore, Moore God, Moore bible thumpin’ , and wouldn’t it be nice to see a battle for the biggest religious nut job in Congress?
I’m wondering how people would vote in the general election if Moore or Strange were the R nominee. These polling results from about 10 days ago suggest that the Democratic nominee, Doug Jones, would have a fighting chance against either candidate. http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2017/09/democrat_doug_jones_in_close_s.html
But it seems logical that Moore as the Republican nominee would be more likely to bring out moderates to vote for Jones.
Also, I’m wondering how a “Biblical miracle” affected the election results. I guess that if Jesus could turn water into wine he could change a vote for Clinton to a vote for Trump. Or erase registered voters from the rolls. So it wasn’t Russian hackers, it was Jesus?
It’s simple. Just use Trumps meme.
All Moore has to do is to start talking about how the election is being rigged.
Strange has cut into Moore’s lead, but he still trails by about 9 points. If Moore wins, it will be interesting watching the WH reaction. My guess is that Trump “privately” bashes Strange, and then publicly acts like he wanted Moore all along.
That either of these candidates is a step away from making decisions that affect all of us is thoroughly depressing.
Feedback I’m seeing from stuff I read about this race is that AL GOPers want to vote for Moore and haven’t seen enough to switch to Strange. In the post primary round 1 polls, virtually all of the non-Strange vote shifted to Moore. I think Strange can get some of that back, but it will be tough for him make up all of the ground. Also think that Trump’s DACA talk w/Pelosi & Schumer will prompt more AL GOPers to vote for Moore as a check on Trump from the right.
Just which anarchist full of lousy GOP notions will Alabama select to ensure it remains an impoverished backwater? It’s very exciting!
The worst president in our country’s history is traveling to Alabama to campaign for a Republican candidate seriously he is the kiss of death for this candidate. Three branches of government controlled by the Republicans and they’re all incompetent.
I’ve heard that the Republicans were working or supposed to be working with the Democrats to fix the affordable healthcare act and I laughed. Seriously the Republicans are supposed pick something since when do they know how to fix anything, the Republicans are known for breaking things you know what our government which no longer functions properly since the Republicans took control of Congress. Oh yeah that’s a threesome the worst house of representatives the worst Senate and the worst president in our country’s history.
“Getting thrown off the Supreme Court of your state twice I don’t think is a credential that commends you for membership in the United States Senate,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) told reporters on Tuesday.
Ah, so that’s why Breitbart has been so aggressively attacking Cornyn these past few weeks.
Admittedly I would relish the idea of Moore going into meltdown mode over losing. Not getting my hopes up considering this man was a judge who people elected in spite of him being a massive homophobe
I see the Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is showing up for an endorsement. This is a man who thinks 14-15 year old girls should be married. In his words by the time they are 20 they’re taking all of your money.
Who else would endorse him? Jarred from Subway?
Nothing says “deplorables” like THIS as backers of Moore. Sweet Jesus, this makes Luther look like the guy who nailed the 95 theses on the cathedral door:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ®, an early Trump backer, and Sebastian Gorka, a right-wing nationalist who was recently pushed out of the White House, are co-headlining a Thursday night rally for Moore. Others include Fox News host (and informal Trump adviser) Sean Hannity, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee ®, whose own daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the White House press secretary, and evangelical Christian TV stars like actor-ninja Chuck Norris and Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson.
I think I’d rather have Grendel and an assortment of legit swamp monsters in the Cabinet, over what we’ve got now.
I’d say pretty certainly Luther Strange is going to win, whatever they have to do to make it happen (Republicans are getting really adept at creative vote counting), or else Donald wouldn’t have been allowed by his handlers to lay his “prestige” on the line like this. The fact that Bannon is, in theory, supporting Moore, is something Moore should actually be kind of worried about. Who knows what eleventh hour scandal could erupt to the utter benefit of Strange?
In any case, Moore may have a close and warm relationship with a vengeful and capricious Protestant God, but Strange has the one really essential alliance of the successful Republican candidate for public office in the 21st century: a long standing, mutually-beneficial relationship with the fossil fuel industry.
Oil, you should forgive the expression, trumps God, every time.
I don’t know who will win the race, but I can confidently predict that Alabama will lose again.
