GOP candidate expects Roy Moore to announce Senate bid in June

Source: The Hill

Roy Moore hasn’t jumped into the 2020 Alabama Senate contest yet, but one potential GOP rival is already welcoming him into the race.

Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.), who launched his Senate campaign in February, told The Hill he’s spoken to GOP sources close to Moore who said the controversial former Alabama judge will announce his candidacy for the Senate in the coming days.

“People who I believe know what they’re talking about say that Judge Moore intends to announce his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in June. I welcome him to the race,” Byrne said in an interview.

Byrne said those conversations took place within the past week, though he has not personally spoken to Moore. A second member of the Alabama congressional delegation said he also has heard that Moore will announce he’s running for the Senate in June.

Possibly.... but.....

Women dont forget and many voters dont either.


It's a wonder why the state did not investigate and the Democratic Senator of the state has done a quite well job. The Republicans are looking to win back their senatorial seat in Alabama. But.... I would imagine Doug Jones would rather have Roy Moore again as an opponent then a clean cut Republican representative.

To me..... Alabama is a backwards state!

...and that was when the pedophile news was still fresh. The polls have RM leading for the repug nomination even before he had declared.

I'll do my best to re-elect Jones but it will be an uphill climb!

At least pretend to be moderate until after November 2020. He has been a very reliable liberal so far, and his votes have been great. But in the long run, that's not good for his future as a Senator. We need to win. Hoping to run against Moore isn't good enough.

Once Moore rapes their 11 year-old daughters, they'll have to carry his squalid spawn to term or risk going to jail forever.

Man, I don't even want to fly over Alabama for fear of being tainted with that kind of plague...

The scenario that I recall was depicted in the book.

It's not a handsome, square-jawed Hollywood actor who is doing the raping. It's a gross, decrepit, imbecilic asshole like Roy Moore, who just happens to hold the reins of power and will exercise that power in any depraved way he can.

The gross, decrepit, imbecilic assholes are jockeying for power now. Their champion is Donald Trump.

I feel the same way about Texas. I go so far as to even pay more money for an airline ticket just to avoid having to even set foot in Texas (even at airport) for ANY reason.

and without having demonstrated improved riding skills, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a horse.

Or young women.

Or people in general.

A flashback to @JakeTapper grilling Roy Moore’s spokesman over Moore’s bigoted unconstitutional belief that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to serve in Congress. The 😲 look when Tapper tells him you don’t need to be sworn in on a Christian Bible is classic.
