Is Trump Already A Discredited 'Insider'?

9/26/2017

Something 'Moore than Strange' happened in Alabama, tonight. Donald Trump was defeated by the very folks who still love his agenda. But the rock-solid base of evangelical conservatives showed they still call their own shots.

  Roy Moore is perhaps the most courageous conservative politician in America, today. He is the former Chief Justice of the state supreme court. He defied federal judges several years ago when he placed a monument to civil law in the lobby of the court. But it was a 'Ten Commandments' replica and the federal courts had him thrown off the courts for it.

  He's back. He just defeated Trump's Washington machine, using Steve Bannon to orchestrate a US Senate runoff win against an incumbent opponent who spent ten times as much money. Moore led all night and ended up a 10 point winner. the general election is in a couple months. the winner assumes the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions when he accepted the position of US Attorney General.

  If you enjoy reading Steve Bannon's gloating, you'll love the articles in Breitbart, tonight!

Is There An Implication For Oklahoma?

Like Oklahoma, Alabama conservatives are the majority. But they are 'mad as hell and not going to take it any more!' (credit Perter Finch's academy award-winning line from 'The Network').

It seems more viable that if a solid and trusted conservative doesn't get the party nomination, there may be a lot of conservatives staying home, believing it doesn't matter if a wimpy chamber-crat wins or an avowed liberal Democrat.

It seems Alabama conservatives (the real ones) still believe in and have hope for Trump. But they know Trump was stupid to endorse Luther Strange (the temporary appointment senator). There is a real concern that Trump is already consumed by the DC swamp.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
