I would guess that hundreds of millions of citizens agree with that stance.

Only the hypocritical MSM, Democrats and the GOPe want to skip the "innocent until proven guilty" position.

Good on Trump. What’s he got against lynchings?

Considering the content of the news conference and knowing what it takes logistically to prepare for one, Judge Moore’s group was not waiting around for Hannity to goad him. I would submit that Hannity’s shorts were getting a little bunched more worried about his stance on popularity rather than standing on principle.

I heard that Hannity and Mike Gallagher, I think, on talk radio, said the same, that the people should decide. Any other old timers here, remember Ted Kennedy’s speech after Chappaquiddick, in which he said the people of Massachusetts should decide whether he remained in the Senate? As I recall he won an easy reelection in his next election, and never faced a serious challenge, as he became lauded as the “Liberal Lion” of the Senate. If it was good enough for the people of Massachusetts to decide Kennedy’s fate, why not the same in Alabama for Moore? And if I can make a zinger of sorts, Moore didn’t kill anybody.

_____

Yes...... however of course Sleazy Ted had the media on his sick side. He did become known (to some) as The Liberal Lion of the Senate. With the despicable media still in existence, Moore may unfortunately just become known as the Christian Pervert of the Senate.

THE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY IS OUR WORST ENEMY.

Kudos to Steve Bannon for his due diligence and back channel communications to President Trump.

Now if Mitch McConnell dilly-dallies and tanks tax reform in the Senate? He will have Senator Moore chewing on his leg at every opportunity. Trump needs an attack dog in the Senate, to put the boots to Collins, McCain , Johnson and Schumer.

(We need to get the economy rolling you nitwits!)

McConnell has now , as a lead closet queer discharged from the Army for apprehended sodomy,blown millions of GOP money to try and stop Steve Bannon, and has failed utterly, while ignoring the economy and the President.

Mitch is now a short timer in the Senate. If he does not pass Tax Reform he is out. Done. Like Bannon says,” Its your third strike, Mitch!”

Trump is calculating that Mitch will save his own ass by passing Tax Reform. Its a god bet. But then we would be just as well off without Mitch to block future presidential initiatives as he has done over the last year.For Trump its win-win either way.

“Mr Trump believes that “Alabama should take the decision” about their next senator and that Mr Moore should only quit if the allegations are proved.”

The state’s voters make the decision instead of the baying, leftist journos from the Dist. of Corruption and NYC? What’s the world coming to?

And it’s not even an ‘endorsement.’

“Let the voters decide” means it’s their call. Doesn’t tell anyone how to vote.

Another lying MSM headline!

It’s up to Alabama. All of this “meddling” in a state election reminds everyone that the USA is going 3rd world. Sad.

Moore should show up at his next Press Conference driving a 1967 4 Door Oldsmobile and wearing a Neck Brace.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
