The stunning defeat of President Trumps chosen Senate candidate in Alabama on Tuesday amounted to a political lightning strike setting the stage for a worsening Republican civil war that could have profound effects on next years midterm elections and undermine Trumps clout with his core voters.

Kid Rock is ahead in the polls and seems set to take the primary.
Funny.

Really? lol That would be pretty amazing.
Keep on kneeling and SJW tactics. We’ll keep voting!
I know. But McConnell or some other establishment puke will pour millions of dollars in to defeat him, only to lose in the end. Better yet, if the media thought Trump was brash and blunt, that ain’t seen nothing yet!
And it’s only gonna get better once Bob (Kid Rock) takes on Stabmenow. I can’t wait.

Don’t throw me in the briar patch said Briar Trump.
Weren't they leading the "Remove Judge Moore" mob a couple years ago when he wouldn't take down the 10 Commandments from his courtroom? Nothing like "journalistic integrity", an oxymoron if ever I heard one.
Just a second dirtbag: "Undermine Trump's clout with his core voters"!!??
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Only if he takes a really hard left, with all four tires smoking.
Well, it's a fact that some fungi can make a person delerious.
The ones we have only want to amnesty illegal aliens. AND, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, AND “EVERYTHING THAT’S ANTI-TRUMP”!
We are but a... wing
So is a B-2 bomber.
I try to read some of the comments but the liberal commenters just make me sick.

I’m reading all comments with interest.
NOT SOON ENOUGH!
The GOPe looks upon us as ignorant morons who need to be managed. They will burn down the nation before acceding to our requests.
>>Mitch McConnell, are you listening?
**************************************
Oh, Yertle the Turdle hears us alright. It’s just that he only actually LISTENS to his owner-donors. He views us as uneducated morons who need to be “managed”, as do the rest of the putrid Swamp Monsters.
huge WIN tonight... very prophetic.
Sweet home Alabama...
Time to get out the popcorn and put up the feet unless you are a dedicated political activist.
