Former George W. Bush administration aide Tony Fratto said Wednesday that if Republicans allow Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to serve despite the serious sexual assault allegations against him, then the GOP is "over."

"We can scream our heads off all we want, Alabama voters will do whatever they do," Fratto tweeted. "The real test for the GOP is whether Moore is allowed to serve, should he win. Fail that test and the party's over" ...

1. I've never heard of him. What he says carries no weight.

2. Oh yes it does. Senators Corker and Flake, and Mitt Romney have said the same thing.

4. ...and here I am, remembering

when the GOP (Fox) faithful thought 'W' was God's gift to the world. Now they don't remember him. Huh?

The Fox viewers simply change their allegiance to the current flag-bearer of the GOP without understanding the eventual cost; Dubya proved this first, to be honest.

The GOP are now a full-fledged cult, and it's mind-boggling to watch former 'W' personnel clutch their pearls about it. They helped build this. They were complicit.

Many of W's people, now, are "Never Trump" folks. Wonder how they got there. Wonder what horrific thing(s) Trump did that they think they did not. Because it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to this older and well-informed liberal.
