Why I Secretly Wanted Moore To Lose: Brooks 2020!

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

Ann Coulter   "Rep. Mo Brooks was the true Trumpian candidate in Alabama, which is why I endorsed him in the primary (herehere and here). When the accusations against Roy Moore first arose, I proposed that the president make a deal to replace Moore with Brooks. 
"Obviously, the GOP would be in a much better position right now if only Republicans had learned to hang on my every word. 
"Instead, everyone did exactly the wrong thing, and they got the worst of all possible worlds. 
"Trump should have endorsed Brooks in the primary, but he endorsed Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's pro-amnesty candidate, Luther Strange, on the advice of his son-in-law. Because who knows Alabama politics better than Jared Kushner? (I guess we can scratch the expression, "As goes Kushner, so goes Alabama!") 
"Now Trump has lost twice in a state that voted for him by a nearly 3-to-1 margin over Hillary just last year. Apparently, Trump's voters won't blindly follow him, whatever he does. I wonder if this is relevant information for the midterms ... 
"McConnell spent millions upon millions of dollars in nasty ads to defeat Mo Brooks in the primary, because Brooks takes sensible positions on immigration. 
"Can't have that! McConnell pulled out all the stops to block Brooks, so he could keep big donors rolling in cheap foreign workers. Soon they'll have all the labor they need -- and a federal government run by Hugo Chavez. The Chamber of Commerce is "diversifying" Republicans out of their jobs. 
"Thanks to McConnell's brilliant strategy of opposing Brooks, now he's stuck with another Democrat -- and a razor-thin Senate majority. McConnell fully deserves to lose his majority, but the rest of us don't deserve the horror of a Democratic Senate. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to do one and avoid the other." . . .
