David Brooks: If Roy Moore Wins Republicans Will Get Their Tax Cut, But Will Be "Repulsive For A Generation"

ON Sunday's 'Meet the Press,' <i>New York Times</i> columnist David Brooks warns that a win by Roy Moore in the Alabama special election this week would be a pyrrhic victory for the Republican Party. "A temporary vote for a Supreme Court Justice or a tax cut, but for a generation you are repulsive," Brooks warned Republicans. "You're repulsive to younger people. 28% of millennials think the Republican Party cares about them. That is just a generational problem." "They're repulsive to people of color forever," Brooks added. "And so you end up, not only making yourself unpopular but sort of corrupting a piece of yourself," Brooks said about Republicans. "To me, the interesting people in this whole deal are the honorable Republicans in Congress. The Portmans, the McCains, the Barrassos, Tim Scott." "A couple of them have been very principled, but a lot of them have said they are going to tolerate Trump's dishonesty, tolerate some racial politics. But now they have to tolerate harassment and pedophilia." "There is no end to what they are going to be asked to tolerate," he added. "And that is just, internally, so corrosive."
