Don’t need to drag Judge Moore into it. The man absorbed a multi-million assault from his own party, and was largely on his own in defending himself against lies and misrepresentations.
He didn’t win the election, but calling him the “failed Senate candidate” doesn’t help our party, and seems more like an attack after the fact on Judge Moore than yet another attack on Steve Bannon.
ummmm...he’s a failed senate candidate. Calling him what he is does no harm to anyone. That’s just silly talk.
For those following Q Anon, Q says it’s an act (Bannon vs Trump is an act).
No conservative called Ronald Reagan a failed candidate after he narrowly lost to Ford in 1976. There are times to you loaded language. I saved my fasiled candidate language for RINOS, lefties, and weasels like Romney and John Ellis Bush. Moore doesn’t deserve that treatment.
Comparing Roy Moore to Ronald Reagan is like comparing a Timex watch to a Breitling. Stop it.
Q is just testing to see how gullible people are.
The answer will likely be. ‘In some cases, very gullible.’
In 1976, Ronald Reagan was unable to wrest the GOP nomination from a sitting president who had all the advantages of incumbency.
In 2017, Roy Moore managed to lose a senate seat in a state that Donald Trump won by 30+ points.
The two events are not in any comparable. Nor are the two men.
If you actually listen to one of Bannon speeches you’d have no problem with him, unless you are a Free Traitor™.
I thought Trump was wrong to fire Bannon and not to support Roy Moore.
I’m starting to think that his judgement was pretty good after all.
(That in no way means I think Roy Moore is guilty of anything. Just that Trump was right in assessing him as unelectable.)
As someone asked me yesterday, to what end?
Totally agree with that. The problem with Bannon is not his speeches in public; it’s is behavior in private. This should be obvious to anyone by now.

I was glad to see Bannon go, but I know a couple of folks who worked on the Trump campaign and had gotten very negative feedback about him from them.
For the record, I also doubt Roy Moore was guilty of the things the women accused him of. But he’s a world class squirrel who was bound to become an embarrassment to the GOP one way or another.
The Luther Strange voters stayed home for the general.
Your earlier post stated that being a failed candidate was factually true. The same would go for Ronald Reagan in 1976.
Both men had the establishment wing of their own party working against them. In Moore’s case, it happened for most of the general election campaign. Judge Moore is a good man who was attacked by bad and misinformed people.
Moore was more a cartoon character than Foghorn Leghorn.

Great line. I may steal it. :)
I predicted that, yesterday morning and here’s exsctly why:

It’s hard to fathom anyone being dumb enough to let Wolff in the WH. His books have all been called half truth, half fiction. Seems like Bannon would already know who he is but even if he didn’t, it takes less than a minute to look him up on the web.
Speaking of Roy Moore, has anyone heard from Gloria Allred and her “clients”? They seem to have just disappeared.
Funny, isn’t it?
