Prediction: Moore will drop out of race [View all]

It won’t be because R Senators are now against him, and it certainly won’t have anything to do with finding some moral compass.

No, it will be because the $ is fleeing. Sheldon Adelson has pulled his support for Steve Bannon, and that means that other rich ass Rs will pull their support from Bannon, and THAT means that Bannon will need to change his tune when it comes to supporting Moore.

He will need to push Moore out or go down with Moore’s sinking ship.

Moore will quit because Bannon has no future as an R if he doesn’t.
