Roy Moore Only Makes Trump Stronger

Frank Rich: “As the news of Moore’s victory hit last night, the Times tweeted that the results had delivered “a blow to President Trump.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Both of the GOP primary candidates were far to the right, and both were full-throated Trump supporters. Yes, Trump, acting impulsively on sloppy political intelligence, had endorsed the loser, Strange, but the Moore victory only adds to Trump’s power over the GOP.”

“Moore was a Trumpist before Trump was: a nativist, homophobic, law-disdaining, white supremacist, theocratic Dixie judge — a Bible-thumping regional variant on Joe Arpaio. He will be a vocal Trump ally in trying to drive what’s left of the GOP Establishment in Washington out of power.”

2. Alabama....

This State has not been in play for Democrats for quite some time....GOP nut cases run that state. .an infestation there.

3. Rump himself strengthens our side, though. Our opponents are the GOP

and the anti-government, anti-tax, wealthy conservative extremists that have largely taken it over, along with many of our private and public institutions.

And many observers believe Roy Moore, though himself also a corrupt, anti-tax, anti-government (religious) extremist, will cause McConnell more difficulty getting things done. Strange was McConnell's man.

4. I'm with Rich here.

After months of seeing the harsh reality of Trumpism, Alabama Republican primary voters still voted for the Trumpiest bastard they could find.
