Sen. Richard Shelby

(R-Ala.) says that a potential victory for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in the state's upcoming GOP runoff would prompt anti-establishment Republicans similar to former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon to "pop out of the woodwork" and sow discord in the 2018 midterm elections.

Shelby, the senior Alabama senator, told The New York Times that if Moore wins the runoff election against Sen. Luther Strange

(R-Ala.) on Tuesday, the Senate seat would become vulnerable to a Democratic challenge.

But if Strange wins, Shelby said, the incumbent would be sure to emerge victorious in the December election.

“If Roy Moore wins, Bannon and all the other of those people will pop out of the woodwork everywhere,” Shelby told the Times.

I can’t tell if this is a threat or a promise.

Either way, Moore wins, WE WIN!!

Yeah, that’s gonna happen anyway.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Good!! Then I hope Moore wins..Im not familiar with Moore or Strange but all the hate that Moore gets makes me like him :-)

“Bannon and all the other of those people will pop out of the woodwork”

What, that’s supposed to be a bad thing?

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’ll go for the younger of the 2. Less likely to croak in office.

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s not like strange is another Collins/Linda.

[FBRhawk]

What good does it do to have a republican Senate when they won’t support conservative legislation or values anyway?

.. Bannon and all the other of those people will pop out of the woodwork everywhere

<spit>

[TigersEye]

Let’s hope so!

Shelby is revealing the REAL FEAR of the RINO Establishment; a Moore victory could well lead to the base selecting conservative/nationalists as their candidates rather than open-border, globalist RINOs.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Shelby. I really appreciate it when you folks go on the record with good reasons for us to do what Moore is doing.

I think Moore will win both elections by a wide margin.

THAT’s what Shelby is afraid of. He’s not fooling me.

[RoseofTexas]

From his lips to God’s ear!! Help us dear Lord we are surrounded by evil swamp creatures!

[frnewsjunkie]

I have missed the reason Trump is not backing Moore and went all out to back strange. Did I miss some good reason why Judge Moore is not the best candidate?

"“If Roy Moore wins, Bannon and all the other of those people will pop out of the woodwork everywhere,” Shelby told the Times."

It would be good for patriots and Pres. Trump to know who the enemies are for the 2018 elections.

[Pollster1]

Exactly. This is why patriotic Alabama voters need to go to the polls.

Strange is a McConnell puppet...and a very, very corrupt puppet to boot!

You're right! Don Pardo, tell House about the Grand Prize.

[amnestynone]

That is what happens when you don’t listen to the people. And that is just the way it ought to be!
