Republicans on edge with Roy Moore poised to upset Luther Strange in Alabama
by David M. Drucker | Sep 26, 2017, 12:01 AM

BIRMINGHAM — Voters head to the polls Tuesday for a crucial special election for an Alabama Senate seat that could shake Republicans in Washington and upend the party's plans to expand its majority in 2018.

Outspoken social warrior and former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore was poised to upset Sen. Luther Strange in a GOP primary runoff despite President's Trump's coveted endorsement and the millions party-aligned groups spent on behalf of the genteel conservative appointed in January to replace popular Republican Jeff Sessions.

Senior Republican officials are uneasy. They worry Moore's victory would fuel a groundswell of enthusiasm on the populist Right, triggering a wave of well-resourced primaries that weaken Republican incumbents — or worse, see them ousted in favor of weak general election nominees, dashing GOP hopes of broadening its 52-seat majority.

It's going to be a beautiful thing to see the look on the Turtle's face when Judge Moore wins!

Strange: I want to be on offense with Trump with US at ‘turning point’

By Mallory Shelbourne  - 09/26/17 10:01 AM EDT 


Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) said in an interview on his election day that he hopes to be working with President Trump “on offense,” arguing the United States is at “a turning point.”

“I want to be on offense with the president and the vice president because this is a turning point in our country,” Strange told "Fox & Friends.”

“We can’t have any more obstructionists, any more people that just want to give speeches. We need results, conservative results. That’s why I want to be up there. I think that’s why I’ve hit it off with the president so well.”

  Fixed it for ya @Bigum, I hope you're not offended, like some here are when you acknowledge making slight adjustments to their posts by way of the Quote function and an overabundance of snark.

For me it will be the look on the Tuttle's face but to each his own.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

@Bigun
I hope Moore does win, if nothing else it would be a finger in the eye of the left.

Are you gonna video yourself eating a big plate of crow if he loses?

Nope!  If it happens it happens but I think the people of Alabama are smarter than many here seem to think they are!
