1. He just elected Roy Moore

The Alabama right wing HATES Mitch McConnell.

4. I dont know, This is different.....other Rs may follow now.....

[charlyvi]

7. I live in Alabama

They will reflexively do what McConnell does not want them to do. The Repubs down here that I know are a very stubborn lot who dislike outsiders interfering in their business.....even if it is to their detriment. By outsiders, I mean anyone outside the state, or inside the state that moved there recently, say in the last 30 years. Not saying all of them are like this, but enough to swing the election to Moore.

On edit: All in the name of Jesus.

2. Throwing him under the bus!

Is there no loyalty among thieves?

3. Thank you Steve Bannon for the gift of putting a pedophile n the ballot

5. I thought it was the other R that Bannon and Trump backed?

If so they'll be able to distance themselves quickly. Which is becoming a popular pastime for them now.

6. Mitch must have seen that poll showing Moore is now 4 points behind. nt

10. EXACTLY!!!

Mitch only said this when it looked like Moore might be losing.

[Le Gaucher]

8. Yeah Right !!

I expect Roy Moore to dig in and still win

11. As I understand it: it's too late to replace him on the ballot.

13. I think a write-in is the only non-pedophile option remaining for them.

[House of Roberts]

15. I'd like to see them initiate a write in.

With Rabid Roy still in the race.

12. Doesn't McConnell have the authority

To not recognize Moore if he is elected? As in no committee assignments, censure, etc.

[mobeau69]

14. Yep, he can make him a persona non grata.

16. And why don't you join him, mitchell.
