Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore serves as a convenient dividing line. If Republicans cannot oppose a former state supreme court justice ousted twice from the bench who espouses rabidly anti-Muslim views and believes homosexuality should be criminalized, the GOP is truly headed for the ash heap of history. So how are they doing?
In certainly the most cringe-worthy move of his career, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), a former Texas Supreme Court justice, declared that was “proud to offer my support to Judge Roy Moore for U.S. Senate. I look forward to working with him to pass legislation that will effect meaningful change for all Americans.”
However, a ray of sunshine peaked out from the gloom on the topic of Moore. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) announced he wouldn’t support Moore. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who has talked and written in eloquent, principled terms about our democratic creed and was one of the few senators not to endorse Trump, took a small step forward, breaking his sabbatical from moral leadership.
So the question remains: Where are the rest of the GOP senators and members of Congress on Moore? Can they bestir themselves to oppose a man surely as unfit for the Senate as Donald Trump is for the presidency? Listen, congressmen and women and senators move in packs. After a couple act, you might get a bunch more to stand up against Moore. And then another batch, and so on. As belated and comparatively mild as Sasse’s statement was, it should be welcomed. The more independent-minded Republicans are willing to push back against Trump, the better their party and our country will be.

exactly what they said about Reagan.
The Republican Party is headed for extinction unless it supports a Democrat in a U.S. Senate race. WTF? LMAO.
Oh not HER again!!
If Alabama wants Roy Moore, Alabama gets Roy Moore.
The DC swamp must NOT tell Alabama what to do!!
These DC swamp control freaks need to cut it out!
Senators are state representatives, not reps for the self styled elite of coastal America.
Excellent post
I wonder why they keep saying this like it's a bad thing.
Do twits like Jenny get that way because they boys rejected her bigly in high school, or did the boys run the other way because she’s a flaming leftie?
They must pay poorly at wapo. Her teeth are awful
Hillary’s and the DNC’s prosecution should be able to temper that by 2020.
THAT is a Glamour Shot!
Fraudulent limbo moron...all good liberals like her are well versed in the fanciful art of projection...They pray to their gods of rainbows (their version has 6 colors, not 7) and unicorns of what they want to be true, but it never does.
The Republican Party also survived David Duke. Isn't it interesting that Democrats as far from the mainstream to the left as David Duke was to the right never cause alarm with journalists? Many of those extreme left-wing candidates have past political associations as bad as David Duke's.
The washington post is full of S. They are trying to convince the public godly values are bad for the GOP. They serve as a litmus test that Roy Moore is good for america and congress.
Jennifer Rubin , the WaPo’s “house republican”.
ROTFL. Little Jennifer Rubin.
This bitch is truly ugly to the bone.
This was one of the very rare moves which make me proud of Cornyn, who usually offers a knife in the back of his constituents.
