The Establishment’s Worst Nightmare

When all the swamp critters flee your campaign and the most honest man in Washington is all who remains, you must be doing something right.  That is exactly what has happened to Judge Roy Moore this past month. After The Washington Post published a potentially defamatory article about Moore, and women with obvious axes to grind came forward with stories of sexual misconduct, nearly every Republican politician in the nation condemned Moore, retracted their endorsement and/or demanded he exit the US Senate race in Alabama.  One notable exception was Senator Rand Paul who maintained his support even as polls (some with questionable methodology) showed the Democratic nominee with the lead.  The reason Paul stayed loyal may lie in Moore’s political positions.
