“Alabama Republicans on Tuesday voted decisively to nominate Roy Moore, a former state Supreme Court judge, for a U.S. Senate seat, delivering a rebuke to President Donald Trump and the GOP establishment that supported his rival. ”
I wasn’t following this race closely, so enjoy some brief Takes of Elevated Temperature:
Edited to add: Gracious (verily, even Presidential) tweet from President Trump following Moore’s win:
Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama. Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race. Roy, WIN in Dec!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2017
ZeroHedge suggests that this actually strengthens Trump’s hand against congressional Republicans.
