Alabama Republicans Square Off In Trump-Dominated Primary
NBC News
Adam Edelman and Alex Seitz-Wald and Ali Vitali

In a primary race largely dominated by the popularity of President Donald Trump among Alabama Republicans, three GOP candidates will square off Tuesday in a special election primary to fill the Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

After weeks of vowing to remain on the sidelines, Trump inserted himself front-and-center in the race earlier this month when he endorsed Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to fill Sessions' seat temporarily earlier this year. On Monday, news emerged that the president had begun recording robocalls for him, urging Alabama GOP voters to support him.

If no one wins more than 50%, not expected, there will be a run-off.

I think it will be Roy Moore first but the battle is for the run-off spot, 2nd.  Mo Brooks and Luther Strange battle for 2nd.  That's where the interest is.

Conservatives v. the Swamp

Here is Mo Brooks giving one of the best smackdowns ever to a PMSNBC reporter.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
