Last minute smear campaigns<\/a> work. That is unfortunate. There was never any proof of the allegations against Judge Moore; and in fact, some of the allegations have already been proven false. Where does this man go to get his reputation back? It is really sad to me that the establishment<\/a> Republicans<\/a>, who were so glad to see this man defeated, never once questioned the validity of the charges or fought back. Roy Moore<\/a> was a threat to the establishment. He has made it very clear by his past actions that he believes in the Constitution. He would not have been easy for the establishment to control.<\/p>\n

Late yesterday PJ Media<\/a> posted their take on what the Doug Jones’ victory means. They listed five aspects of the Democratic victory:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Character matters.<\/strong> (Again, there is the assumption of guilt with no proof.)<\/li>\n
  2. Steve Bannon’s populism won’t work. <\/strong>(I wouldn’t count him out just yet.)<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Write-ins could have decided the race.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. McConnell<\/a> and the establishment Republicans dodged a bullet. <\/strong>(They were in an awkward position because they believed the accusations and acted accordingly rather than relying on the principle of innocent until proven guilty<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
  5. The Senate<\/a> is not necessarily in play for 2018. <\/strong>(Possible but not likely if the differences in fund raising totals between the two parties are an indication of future elections.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Again, I think the victory of Doug Jones is a sad thing–no allegations were ever proven, and no charges were less than twenty-five years old. In claiming moral superiority, the establishment Republicans indirectly supported the election of someone who supports killing babies, does not support traditional marriage, and supports ObamaCare<\/a>. I also believe the establishment Republicans did not want someone elected who would support the policies of President Trump–if the Trump economy continues to grow at its present rate, President Trump will be a successful President–the Washington establishment’s worst nightmare. They should be ashamed–not of Roy Moore–but of themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
