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

No.  The Ten Commandments carried Moore over the finish line in the primaries.

Stupid as that was.

I thought that Roy had God's backing.

The mantra lately has been 'let the voters of Alabama decide.' 

Well, they did.

Now that people outside Alabama don't like it, it has to be the fault of McConnell, Soros, or something...

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.

Good point.   888high58888

If I were in Alabama I would have stayed home.  You can only hold your nose so long.  The dems win twice here.  They get the seat and they get to paint conservative Christians as sanctimonious nut jobs

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.


To be sure,  our party is full of cowards,  but they have good cause.  That Weaponized broadcasting system owned by the Democrats can cut them to pieces if they attract it's attention. 

But yes,  our side cutting and running at the first sign of trouble has cost us more than one election.

The accusations made a lot of people sit out the election.    They couldn't vote for Jones,  and they decided they wouldn't vote for Moore.

That's correct.  Moore wasn't worth fighting for.

Just taking it all in, why vote republican at all any more. They just stab Christians. From Trump to most of the Senate worked against Moore. 10 to 1 money spent against Moore. Same as democrats as far as I can see.

Exactly.

The people of Alabama spoke.   Bad candidate.   Bad result.

It could have been prevented.

The reality is that turnout was excellent across the state. I'm not sure who stayed home.

What got Jones over the line was the black vote, which has nothing to do with Moore, other than the smear ads by Jones calling him a racist.

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


Anyone with any sense would think what Bannon thought.  Two months ago Moore was a shoe-in.


He may still win.

Yeah, if the people of Alabama hadn't voted for Moore in the first place, they wouldn't have had to choose between the target of a full bore smear campaign and a supporter of murdering babies.

Oh, and that trial by media thingy....

People will have the government they deserve.
