Senate Dems' campaign arm: Trends seen in Alabama emerging across US

Source: The Hill




BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 12/14/17 09:35 AM EST

The Democrats’ Senate campaign arm in a new memo argues that Republicans will continue to face the issues that lead to their loss in the Alabama special election, adding that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will be “a drag” on the GOP in the 2018 midterm elections.

In a memo following the party’s upset victory in Alabama Tuesday night, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) said “the real catastrophe lies ahead” for the GOP.

“Massive recruitment failures are leading to destabilizing primaries, and now even the most extreme candidates know that they can count on the GOP’s ultimate support, just like Roy Moore before them,” the memo reads.

The DSCC blasted McConnell and Republican Senate candidates for their careful rhetoric about Moore throughout the special election. Moderate Republicans were forced to walk a fine line in regards to Moore, but that path became more complicated when numerous allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled against the former Alabama judge last month.
