Roy Moore, horse-riding judge and evangelical crusader in Alabama, whose quest to legislate his beliefs on the rest of us managed to lose what should have been a safe Republican seat to Democrat Doug Jones last year, is talking about running again for that seat next year.
Here, via twitter, is Donald Trump Jr.’s advice to Moore:
“You’re literally the only candidate who could lose a GOP seat in pro-Trump, pro-USA ALABAMA. Running for office should never become a business model. If you actually care about #MAGA more than your own ego, it’s time to ride off into the sunset, Judge.”
If I were a Democrat, I would be praying very hard that Roy Moore ignores those words.
Simply stated, Moore is the Democrat Party’s single greatest asset in Alabama, because hard-line conservatives are strong enough there to win him the primary and, as seen last year, his candidacy is distasteful enough to lose the election.
That said, I doubt Moore, who had decided he is on a mission to turn his state – maybe the rest of the world too – into a paradigm of evangelical fervor, will take Trump Jr.’s advice (or anyone else’s but his own).
We’ll soon find out one way or the other.
If he runs again will the Democrats use the same women to accuse him of rape or will they find some new ones???
