Roy Moore Announces He’s Running for Senate… Again
Calls 2018 loss a ‘fraud’
Roy Moore, who ran for the Alabama Senate seat vacated by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017 is running for Senate… again.
Watch:
The Senate Leadership Fund released the following statement:
The Senate Leadership Fund released the following statement after failed 2017 Senate nominee Roy Moore announced he would mount another campaign in Alabama:
“We believe most Alabama Republicans realize that nominating Roy Moore would be gift wrapping this Senate seat for Chuck Schumer. It remains to be seen whether Moore can escape his baggage without his candidacy collapsing under its own weight, regardless of what groups on the outside do.” -SLF Communications Director Jack Pandol
Meanwhile, over at the AP, the Democrat response:
Democratic Sen. Doug Jones says Roy Moore’s decision to run for the seat again in 2020 “is not good for the state of Alabama.”
Jones told The Associated Press after Moore’s announcement Thursday that the Republican primary in Alabama “just got more divisive and extreme.”
He says the GOP primary will boil down to “either an extremist like Moore or it’ll be an extremist who will be hand-picked by Mitch McConnell,” the Senate majority leader who’s opposed Moore in the past.

This can’t be real… can it? Based on the allegations I’d stay away from that but hey I’m new to this. https://t.co/IH4jJUmdHR

Please go away. You’re an embarrassment to the Grand Old Party, the one party still capable (barely) of shame.
If Roy Moore shouldn’t run because of old “serious allegatons”, you should call for Kavanaugh to be impeached.
Doesn’t anyone else have any principles? 11th hour accusations of something decades ago that can’t be proven including a pileon with false or tampered evidence? It describes both.
Moore is not beholden to McCuckold which was the original problem (big cash from McC to Luther STRANGE in the run-off). Moore is pro-life, and pro-constitution. I have a few more questions on the issues, but that should decide your vote, not who is most electable like Romney (over Ron Paul, but how do you like him in the Senate?)
Seems like people here have conveniently forgotten that Trump endorsed Strange, too. I suppose that makes him a “never-Trumper” too? And, oh yeah, about those “younger women” and allegations of improper sexual advances, seems to me that somebody else had some problems with that, too.
