Could Roy Moore Be To DACA What Dave Brat Was To Gang Of Eight Amnesty/ Immigration Surge?

President Trump has just reiterated his support for embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore despite express instructions from the Main Stream Media and the Republican Establishment. [Republican Senators worried about Roy Moore’s impact as Trump continues support, by Terence Cullen, New York Daily News, November 26, 2017]There is obviously renewed concern MSM/ GOP Establishment concern that Moore (and Trump) might win [The Latest Poll Numbers: Roy Moore Reclaims the Lead from Doug Jones – Maybe, by Peter Schwartz, Huffington Post, November 24 2017].
