I think its been 4 thread generations where we are trading on this theme. Cruz wins big if Moore is elected. Since Cruz stumped for him, what is his opinion of this #$!&@ show now?

"These are serious and troubling allegations," Cruz said in a statement. "If they are true, Judge Moore should immediately withdraw. However, we need to know the truth, and Judge Moore has the right to respond to these accusations."

Meanwhile back at possibly the literal ranch, Democratic challenger Rep. Beto O'Rourke blasted Cruz in a fundraising email for supporting Roy Moore.

“The relationship appears to be very warm and very friendly,” Duterte spokesman Harry Roque told reporters Monday. “They’ve been very candid in their dealings, and it’s very apparent that both of them have a person who they consider as not their best friend. They have similar feelings toward former U.S. President Barack Obama.”

Chris Buck is a government and economics teacher in northern Lancaster County. He’s the father of four young children and he thinks about tax reform through the lens of a father and a husband. He’s excited that tax reform means a bigger child tax credit, and a simplified filing process means more time to spend with his family.

Cinthia Kettering runs a successful insurance brokerage firm in Lancaster. She would love to pay her employees more, but the burdensome federal tax code and high rates often prevent her from awarding those raises. Tax reform allows her to reinvest in her employees and grow her company.

Travis Eby and his brother Nick own and operate M.H. Eby in eastern Lancaster County, which manufactures truck bodies for commercial and agricultural markets and was founded by their grandfather in 1938. When asked what he would do with tax savings as a result of our tax reform plan, Travis said, “We would continue to invest in our employees.”

Tom Duff is the CEO of Mount Joy Wire — a leader in manufacturing wire for aerospace, automotive, medical and many other applications. Tom wants to better compete with foreign competitors. Tax reform will help make his Pennsylvania workers, who pride themselves on “Made in the USA,” more competitive in an increasingly global economy.

really pathetic and anti-democratic if he did that. he set the date; stick to it. it's not the fault of the Democratic candidate in it that the GOP voters picked a pedophile.

Gov. Ivey already stated she wouldn't change the date. Obvious caveat that she's a politician, but yea.

Voting has already started. She'd get sued, for certain. I don't know the AL code section to assess whether they'd win, but damn that'd be an UGLY look.
