We do not blindly follow

One thing that has jumped out at me with the special election in Alabama to fill the Senate seat is that Conservatives are not blind followers. President Trump is in a difficult position. The Senate and House are run by uniparty worthless hacks who want to fully fund and support the leftist agenda their owners are pressing. He has to play ball with these swamp scum in order to get anything done.
Luther Strange is Bitch McConnell's personal playboy in a manner of speaking. Strange is as much a uniparty hack as it is possible to be. President Trump, in an effort to not completely alienate the Worthless one offered up a Strange endorsement. The voters of Alabama are not following his lead. Alabama has two better choices, and the folks there know it. Judge Roy Moore and Representative Mo Brooks.
For all the good that can be said about Mo Brooks, there is one reason I see to not support him in this venture. He currently holds a seat in the House that is solid. If he shifts to the Senate, that open slot could very well be filled with a Lyin Ryan hack or worse.
To be sure, I want to see Mo score a solid second place finish, and send Strange back to the minor leagues where he would still be a thorn.
If the race boiled down to a Mo Brooks, Luther Strange ticket, then I clearly want Mo, but if the choice shakes out to be Moore v Mo, Please Alabama, send Judge Moore to the senate and keep your good option in the House.
I believe that what I am seeing, especially reading the comments by folks from Alabama, is that President Trump's endorsement is not helping Strange, but it is not hurting President Trump there either. The folks in Alabama know Judge Moore, and they know Mo Brooks, and they know what a turd in a punch bowl is. Tuesday could see a major curve ball though if Voters pick Moore with a majority thus saving the need for a runon off election and saving a little money.
Take a moment tonight and pray for the folks in Alabama. And pray for Judge Moore.
