Expect A Blitzkrieg Of Candidates Like Moore Moving Forward. And Many May Win.

The push from the extremely radical right will go on steroids in this election cycle. Even the extreme ACA repeal bills were not enough for these very extreme radicals. They want health care to crash for the majority of Americans.

Lion of the Senate Dick Lugar was defeated in the primary by a Roy Moore type (I can't remember the dingbat,s name). And being indiana Joe Donnelly didn't stand a chance. But the common sense Hoosiers voted Joe in. Hopefully Alabama and other states in that predicament will follow suit.

I expect the TN-SEN primary in 2018 to be a circus. I fear Marsha Blackburn will come out ahead.
