MSN News ^ | 12/13/2017 | Jordain Carney

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said on Wednesday that he is "relieved" GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore lost the Alabama race and won't be representing the Republican party in Congress.

"Relieved? Yes that's a good word. I'm relieved and I believe a lot of Republicans are relieved that Roy Moore and some of his people aren't the face of the Republican party," he told reporters when asked if he was feeling any relief over Tuesday's election results.

I doubt it. No more Christian Conservatives will be elected in Alabama. Roy Moore was the last hope. That’s all, folks.

Agree, this guy will be the Sam Nunn of Alabama so this seat is long gone. He will do just enough to placate the citizenry to think he is a conservative. See L. Graham for comparisons

Since when is a senator from Alabama the face of the Republican Party?

I’ll be relieved when we retire the last undocumented Democrat in an R jersey.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Kennedy, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Lankford, Young, Boozman and Shelby are all undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.

Defund/defang/vote out all of the undocumented Democrat traitors in Congress!

Trump is flushing out all the Rino’s and Undocumented Democratic plants in Congress!

President Trump and we will get rid of Undocumented Democrats posing as Republicans in congress!

Ya Buddy, we gonna keep you in. We needs ya!!!!

Of your list, I think Hatch and Johnson have some potential for redemption. I don’t think they joined the swamp willingly, and will help if Trump can drain it. But the rest, I agree completely. They are not on our side, they are on the side that is trying to destroy us and our country.

he’ll be gone at the first opportunity, albeit not until 2020, if I’m not mistaken...

...to come down...

Darn fast typing, lol and autocorrect wouldn't catch that.

It also makes me wonder what this unholy DC alliance has on Shelby to stab republicans in the back like that.

Yes he did. He is safe in his seat like a bug in a rug, with emphasis on the bug.

I didn’t like Alabama before (practically last in everything) but I thought it had some semblance of decency, apparently not enough to make a freaking differnce.

Sorry you moron. Now that he’s out of the picture, they will have to take advantage of the GOP other ways like using your picture for the face of the Republican party as being a display of being a traitor to the party and its efforts. Gosh thanks a lot for supporting the libs with they’re unproven efforts. Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
