Leftover Discussion Thread: AL Special Election

[Cyber Liberty]

Yeah and even if the GOP had 100% of the power they would do nothing, because they are all professional losers just like Jesus Freak and admitted child dater Roy Moore.

Wrap your head around the fact that a solid red state just voted for a Communist abortionist and everyone with an R after their named just sighed in relief to not be burdened with leadership anymore. I'll be Paul Ryan was so excited he ran to the gym to pump some irons with the other sweaty boys there.

LOL!  But true.

As I said to you, it's a solid red state, only way Moore could lose was majority of Republican women would not vote for Moore - you said they would vote for him.  They didn't, plus a big move to get blacks out to vote happened.

Plus there were 21,781 write-ins (the total right now)- likely the Republican women, plus other Republicans who would not vote for Moore.

Moore lost us a Senate seat.

Because we'll get another chance to stop baby murder in about 40 more years or so.

No big deal that's only about 50million babies

[dfwgator]

Whatever made Bannon think Moore could win a Senate seat??

He came pretty damn close, in spite of everything.

[Jazzhead]

This was no one's fault but Ray Moore's.   

[mystery-ak]

  If it looks like the smear on trump is going nowhere Franken will stay and loudly proclaim if Trump doesn’t have to resign neither will he....

That is how I see it...Franken doesn't want to leave and I bet he is fighting tooth and nail behind the scences with Chuckie..

Oh, Mitch is a very happy man tonight.

And Saint Romney. 

[DiogenesLamp]

The populist portion of the voter base will continue to nominate fringe candidates unable to win statewide election...

Because in the absence of accusations,  Moore would have lost anyway?   Your thinking is alien to me.   It makes utterly no sense.

Maybe if Moore had stronger opposition in the Primary,  but he didn't.  This was a team loss.

Wait, that commie abortionist only said abortion was okay up until delivery.

Now, how he feels about aborting a two-month old who's keeping people up at night, we're not sure.

This.  Moore has never run well statewide.  I think Trump (pragmatic for once) made the same point when he cast his support in the primaries for Moore's opponent.

Electing Moore would not have stopped baby murder.  There are not 60 votes in the senate for that even with Moore.  There aren’t even 50 votes with the likes of Collins and Murkowski who are supposedly on our side of the aisle

Not nearly good enough.

[kevindavis007]

Exactly.

[dfwgator]

And Saint Romney.

And McCain (what's taking that damn Cancer so long, anyway?)

[RoosGirl]

?  I thought he was born in Indiana.

They stamped that on his ass right before he left the crappy electronics factory in Taiwan.

Oh, Mitch is a very happy man tonight.

Good. I hope he enjoys it for the next two years

He did.

[DiogenesLamp]

Maybe Steve Bannon should just f**k off.

Maybe you should go easy on your medication.   If you aren't taking any,  perhaps you should start.   

[Victoria33]

Last chance absentee votes... fingers crossed.

@Sighlass

Absentee ballots were already counted before the polls closed.  Those numbers were the first ones released as soon as polls closed.

Moore didn't lose us shit.

History with Moore says it was always going to be a close race.  He wasn't a candidate who had any margin for resiliency against smears -- bogus or otherwise.

[Frank Cannon]

Everybody is missing the big take away from this election. Once again, for the tenth year in a row, the polls were wronger than wrong.

[RetBobbyMI]

I wonder since the number of write-ins is about the margin of difference between Moore and a Jones, if Moore wii request a recount.
