The GOP Now Loves Moore because...

They have realized he is their only hope of winning AL. Talk about commitment to party! That is their strength, the ability to get behind a candidate 100% regardless of that candidate's party purity, experience, or sexual misconduct. Meanwhile, we are questioning Franken, saying "Good riddance" to Conyers, and, if I'm not mistaken, I saw a post earlier disparaging Pelosi.

Remember, on November 15th, Ivanka said that there is a special place in hell for child molesters. That was aimed at Roy Moore. He was shunned by the RNC; they refused to support him. McTurtle promised he would not seat Moore.

20 days later...JUST 20 DAYS later

McTurtle promised to let AL decide who they wanted (i.e. he will not refuse to seat Moore), the RNC now supports Moore wholeheartedly, and I seriously doubt you will get Faux Nooze to admit they ever showed Ivanka's quote.

This is the GOP commitment to party. They will do anything, ANYTHING AT ALL to keep a Dem from winning a seat.

WE CANNOT FIGHT AGAINST THIS BY BEING DIVISIVE!!!!
Remember that a majority of our divisiveness is a direct result of the republican disinformation machine. Pay close attention to what they are doing, THEM, and less attention to what one of ours may or may not have done.

And it is starting to look more and more like they fucked the tax bill up so bad they wont be able to get it done without another vote in the senate.

That's all that matters to them now. What happens during the rest of his term is inconsequential so long as they get to screw us over with the tax bill.

and has to be thrashed over, and then back to the Senate, we still have enough time to call our Reps and Senators to tell them to stop. On Rachel last night people are demonstrating and calling their Reps and Senators to stop this POS from passing.

Every. Single. Time.

I have pretty much written off all of my Republican friends and relatives. I know that they are not decent people and I have little patience left. I'll spend it on those who can be reasoned with.

We accept anyone without a conscience.

They have no trouble endorsing someone they shunned two weeks ago. No pangs of guilt. What's more, no one cares about the optics. It is simply amazing!

Which seems like it would confuse the hell out of voters. Maybe expect a book coauthored by Ryan and McTurtle "The Art of the Flip Flop" in which is described the secret method for getting anyone to be comfortable with a 180 degree turn in belief within a week.
