Dreading the farewell of Jeff Flake and the coming in of Roy Moor<\/a>e…<\/p>\n

… Jeff Flake suddenly the face of some kind of “moderate” “sensibleness”, because — well, at least he’s at least he’s principled…<\/p>\n

“Sometimes works with Democrats” is some such thing that pops up in the news feed…<\/p>\n

… Don’t know what that means, but they have to put some qualifier on why his break from the current Republicans is important…<\/p>\n

It is worth noting, there is an election coming up in Alabama.\u00c2\u00a0 If they really want to stop a Roy Moore, they have an opportunity to do so.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose it feeds into a narrative of a “Democratic Party” rising, which is what stops those Alabama Republicans who “hate him<\/a>” from taking the leap over…<\/p>\n

… and this Democratic win would make the impossible chances of Democratic majority in the Senate turn to merely improbable…<\/p>\n

but… goddamned it… It’s freaking Roy goddamned Moore.\u00c2\u00a0 Who… “fruit salad<\/a>“?\u00c2\u00a0 Is that code for something?<\/p>\n

An odd admission from the National Review<\/a>:
\nRepublican Roy Moore is the new Welch (or at least one of several new Welches).<\/em><\/p>\n

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?\u00c2\u00a0 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”.<\/p>\n
