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.

Who did Trump endorse in the Primary? Moore or Strange?
Jen. You’re such a bigot. Our diversity makes us great, remember?
Now go to a mosque of your choice and listen to all the wonderful diverse opinions there.

In the comments section Dems heads are exploding:-)
Tart? More like sour, imo.
So Jenny Rubin LIKES the muslim Islamists who not only criminalized homosexuality but are killing homosexuals?
They did oppose him.
The GOP spent 30 million opposing Moore.
The science is settled...
Trump is Making America Great Again.

“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”

More lie... if Democrats can’t oppose sanctuary city mayors, governors, and Senators they are headed for extinction!
I believe that Miss Rubin fits the definition of a Trump hater. Here is What Drives The Trump Haters.

Yeah, we need a mainstream common-sense Republican to bring people together. Thanks, Washington Post!
She is a rare combination of truly ugly and truly stupid. Only the Wapo would pay her to write for them.
Shouldn’t she be more concerned whether Democrats oppose their party leader Hillary for her crimes?
Patriots are taking the party back so that is a bad thing to this WaPo leftest ugly whore bag.
“Predictable brain diarrhea from a media hack for the D.C. Swamp.”
Yeah, but they make her wear the Republican jersey.
.
What an ignorant crotch pocket she is!
Roy Moore and a couple of dozen clones of him are the GOP’s only hope!

Compost...again.
