With the Republican National Committee resuming funding to Roy Moore’s Senate campaign, some Republican voters are once again asking themselves: “Where do we go now?”
These voters have felt adrift throughout the two years since Donald Trump began his quest for the presidency. With Moore being accused of sexually targeting underage girls, and with video surfacing last week of him agreeing with Vladimir Putin that the United States is “the modern evil” in the world, some longtime GOP voters are feeling more lost than ever.
That’s in part because, rather than make a play for these politically homeless voters, Democrats don’t want them either.
Lisa in Long Island says that the Republican Party “embarrasses” her. “They’re seen as racist, homophobic, backward idiots. I don’t want to be associated with that.” But she doesn’t feel Democrats are offering much beyond being anti-Trump. “I hate Trump but not everything is his fault.”
Matt in Red Bank, NJ, votes Republican on the local level but can’t bring himself to do it nationally. He voted third party in 2016, unable to vote for either Trump or Hillary Clinton.
Lisa and Matt aren’t famous, they don’t have tens of thousands of followers on Twitter. In fact, neither are even on Twitter. And they exist in larger numbers than either party seems to acknowledge.
A Politico poll last month found “84 percent of Democratic voters would choose the Democratic candidate, but just 74 percent of GOP voters would back Trump” in 2020.

Roy Moore is being the archetypal old fashioned evangelical preacher, it looks like to me. When he says that the USA is evil, he means something different than what Putin probably means.

... as Putin would mean that it’s cramping Russia’s style. Moore means that it’s cramping God’s style.
This is nothing but “Never Trumper” Bravo Sierra. They fear their loss of power as part of the elite corrupt uni-party.

“Make America Even Greater”
As the sainted Ronald Reagan said, “The shining city on the hill.”
Hey Lisa on Long Island, ESAD!
Lisa sounds like a dope. The right half of Long Island (Suffolk County) voted for Trump.
I grew up in Suffolk County.
I still have a lot of relatives there, and in Nassau County.
Most of them, but not all, voted for Trump.
Roughly 90% of Republicans voted for Trump, no gender gap within the party either.
Bill Kristol and friends are a small number of political hacks and virtue signaling suburban cucks , they can go to hell.
For their part the democrats will do they best to alienate them by going further left.
Were Lisa and Matt the only two who were interviewed? If there were others, did they all express the same sentiment? If some thought otherwise, how were Lisa and Matt chosen for inclusion? I’m no whiz kid, but I can see propaganda with my brain tied behind my back.
Republicans should dump whichever candidate the pro-abortion media and the Abortion Party tell them to.
Because the only source of moral respectability is the people who kill babies.
From NJ .... oooops not even close to Alabama

We made them up for the story, because narrative is all that matters.
Whining North Eastern “Republicans” - bump for later.
“A Politico poll last month found “84 percent of Democratic voters would choose the Democratic candidate, but just 74 percent of GOP voters would back Trump” in 2020.”
Hey this is great for you donkeys; all you have to do is sit back and wait for the polls showing your candidate has a 95% chance of winning and start measuring the windows for new drapes in the Oval Office!
And, Republicans (GOPe) won't make a home for pro-Trump Republicans!
