A potential consequence of the Jones win

[usmbguest5318]

Several GOP Senators have stated they won't run for reelection in 2018. In some cases, they made that choice because they could not countenance officially/formally being part of Trump's party and thinking they could not win in a Trumpian party.

Though I'm not a Republican (nor am I a Democrat), I do think the Senate (and House) need representatives of fine ethical character, or at least markedly more fine than is found in Donald Trump, and at least two of the GOP senators, Flake and Corker, seem to imbued with at least some extent of that finer character, even though they may differ with me on a variety of issues.

I wonder whether Doug Jones' win will inspire some of them to recant. That a Democrat, running against the bulwark of Trump's full throated support of the Republican, won a Senate seat in "ruby red" AL may well give Republican senators like Flake and Corker pause. Certainly as incumbents, they have the recognition and track record needed to change their minds and reenter the race.

Give it a rest, Xelor......you have made it clear to all concerned that you have no use for Trump because he is not a beltway insider and isn't a fabian socialist like you are. You are not fooling anyone. The lamestream media and the Soros funded opposition caused Moore to lose. Moore was a very much in your face conservative that had been in the news for years before he ever ran for a Senate seat and none of his alleged "victims" ever came forward......why is that? You are ten pounds of bullshit stuffed into a five pound sack so spare me your pathetic attempt at being "bi-partisan" because I ain't buyin' it.

I watch all of this from a distance because I know what this is all about....you can't debate me in an honest debate of ideals and what we are facing because you lack honesty and most telling is that you lack honesty.....something that leftards seem to take pride in.

You're not a Democrat in real life. You just play one on a messageboard.

Sure Dale, you support a child molester over a good man that brought justice to some murderers. Well, that states your character as clearly as anything can.

Old Fuck, as usual, my point flies right over that sloped, neanderthal skull of yours (with an I.Q score of about 80).....Moore was a high profile figure in that state and yet NO one came forward when he was defending the Ten Commandments monument but alas, as soon as he is running for a senate seat? All of the sudden these alleged "victims" come running out of the woodwork? We have one for sure that has proven to be a lying skank? According to YOUR standards, any woman that ever claimed that I asked out for a date and declined would make me a "sexual predator".....you are an idiot and a fool.

Now that lying about sex assault works, republicans will all be accused of murky 40 year old improper conduct.
