out with flake, in with Moore…
Dreading the farewell of Jeff Flake and the coming in of Roy Moore…
… Jeff Flake suddenly the face of some kind of “moderate” “sensibleness”, because — well, at least he’s at least he’s principled…
“Sometimes works with Democrats” is some such thing that pops up in the news feed…
… Don’t know what that means, but they have to put some qualifier on why his break from the current Republicans is important…
It is worth noting, there is an election coming up in Alabama. If they really want to stop a Roy Moore, they have an opportunity to do so. I suppose it feeds into a narrative of a “Democratic Party” rising, which is what stops those Alabama Republicans who “hate him” from taking the leap over…
… and this Democratic win would make the impossible chances of Democratic majority in the Senate turn to merely improbable…
but… goddamned it… It’s freaking Roy goddamned Moore. Who… “fruit salad“? Is that code for something?
An odd admission from the National Review:
Republican Roy Moore is the new Welch (or at least one of several new Welches).
I see Breitbart is all over the Roy Moore express. But if Roy Moore is “at least one of several new Welches”… who are the others? I suppose Flake is the new Goldwater, except for the part where Goldwater never left his Senate job in Arizona for being out-flanked by some definition of a “right”.
