Police were told to keep Moore away from cheerleaders

https://politicalwire.com/2017/11/22/police-told-keep-moore-away-cheerleaders/

There isn't a Democratic candiate, past or present, any office, who could survive a scandal like this.....The fact that Moore could still win is sickening....

And to think in 1988 Democratic presidential candiate Michael Dukakis was done in large part by being seen in a video in a tank wearing a helmet....

a police detail to protect a DA. But one to protect children from a DA. Only in Alabama could this happen. He was protected and flourished because he hated the right people. Jesus wept.

Moore hated the right people for Alabama....

A recent piece on the www.electoral-vote.com site had an article in Politico which explained why people in Johnstown, PA continue to support Trump, even though they know those coal jobs are not coming back....

"Politico Magazine has a long piece on why Donald Trump will never lose his core supporters. Its reporter spent time in places like Johnstown, PA, a depressed coal mining town that went solidly for Trump because he promised to bring back coal and steel jobs. Now 10 months into his presidency, the people there see that he is never going to bring back those jobs, but they don't blame him for it. When the reporter asked people how they would feel if, after 4 years, nothing changed, they said they would still love him. When pressed about what his has done for them, the answer was that he hates and battles people they hate, including Democrats, establishment Republicans, the media, Black Lives protesters, and most of all, kneeling NFL millionaires, whom they see as ungrateful and disrespectful. In other words, it is all about the culture wars, not economics or even policy. It's all about hate and he hates the people they hate"
