Let me get this straight. Strange was the incumbent and Moore was his challenger. Sessions supported Strange as did President Trump. They supported the incumbent . Voters voted out the incumbent and elected another conservative who supports the second ammendment. Sounds like term limits at work. Trump should have stayed out of it but chose to go with the guy supported by the man he selected as Attorney General. What am I missing here? Moore won the runoff. We'll elect someone on Dec 12th.

The businessman side said that Strange would be a "yes" man, and go along with whatever he wanted, so that's who he threw his support behind. Having yes men doesn't help in business. Successful business people surround them selfs with smart, motivated, loyal people to pull ideas from. I will guarantee you that being a "yes" man is every bit as important to some as being otherwise.

Didn't care for either man. On paper, the issues were the same for both candidates.
McConnell's 10 million dollar support of Strange forced me to vote for Moore.
Mr. Trump, we support your agenda but to think you'd stump for the candidate supported by your enemy McConnell made me cringe.
Couldn't that money have been better spent on defeating Democrats?

I suspect Pres. Trump spent some "image/opinion" capitol to gain political favor with McConnell.
I would bet Pres. Trump actually was more ambivalent in this matter, but personally favored Moore.
Humor me a moment and think about it this way...
1a) If Pres. Trump supports McConnell's boy, he gains favor with McConnell (a current bur under the presidential saddle blanket).
1b) If Strange would have won, he knows he owes the President some favor. Further, the President does gain at least some backing for things like the 2A (admittedly weak on 2A...)
2) If Roy Moore wins, Pres. Trump gains strong support for 2A as well as a host of other USA 1st/MAGA matters at hand.
Win/Win for the Pres.

The establishment just took another kick in the teeth.LOL
Judge Roy Moore,a righteous Christian man,prevailed against the elites candidate Luther Strange..Huraah!
Don't you mean "Judge Roy Moore,a righteous Christian man,prevailed against Donald Trump's candidate Luther Strange..Huraah!" ? Actually he means the opposite. If you'd put aside your obvious democrat-laced hatred of Trump, even the narrow minded could see this was really a good thing for Trump. Why?, because it's obvious Trump was dealing with McConnell to try and get stuff moving in the Congress, so I am sure the cost was to support McConnell's lap dog, Strange. When Trump went down to stump for Strange, he drew Huge (yuge) crowds, meaning the rank and file were and are still with him. Moore is an obvious anti-establishment individual (as is Trump, in case that bulb hasn't turned on for you yet) and in the end Moore will be a FAR better candidate that Strange could ever be.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

So, Jorge, Mitch has become an honorable man that can be trusted to pay his political debt to Trump?
Trump could have followed precedent and stayed out of Primary politics and avoid the embarrassment of backing a loser.
Most likely story I read is that his SIL was the one pushing him toward Strange in order to black Bannon's ass.
In the interest of peace and harmony on the forum, I'll stipulate that Trump can walk on water if you guys will own up to the fact that he occasionally sinks down to his knees.

Here is the scoop by the boots on the ground there, so to speak. When we had the Special election in Geogia's 5th District, 13 GOP candidates ran against only ONE Dem (Ossoff). I comend them for not cannibalizing each other, but that was stupid. 13? The attack adds against Ossoff and Handal were vicious. I hate them, but they work.

Not surprising the only peaceful option left for you to use is to vote out all career establishment members of Congress and the Senate WHO ARE COMMIES AND RINOS.. FIXT.

I am FAR from a Trump acolyte. FAR ( a cursory check of my posts will validate this). The number of screw ups he's had are many, then again he's fighting on more fronts that the Wehrmacht in 1944 with little or no support from his inner circle that unfortunately is FULL of left wingers. All I can tell you is I firmly believe he personally has no agenda other than the good of the country but right now, I'm just not seeing how he can win. We're screwed, really

Trump campaigned for Strange, so does that make Trump part of the establishment? In your humble opinion? You can keep your doctor.............

Don't you mean "Judge Roy Moore,a righteous Christian man,prevailed against Donald Trump's candidate Luther Strange..Huraah!" ? No dumbass. Trump was taking a losing position behind Strange to TRY and work with the commie, your buddy Mitch McConnell, since congress is run by team R and can't get squat done. Strange is McConnell's butt buddy. Everyone paying attention knew Strange was going to lose by around 15-20 points. This primary result only shows that the Trump movement is bigger than Trump himself. And before you spew more pinko commie cock sucking bullspit... if this is such a blow to the Trump movement then why is the candidate spouting #MAGA and who is 100% behind Trump the victor in the primary?? Let that sink in. And the fact that your team (aka pinko commie cock suckers) is getting trounced in the general for that seat.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"
