2017 US Senate Alabama Special Election - DEMOCRATIC WIN

[spinynorman]

Looks like the state's going to go to the Democrats.

Humiliating for the Republicans who supported him. If the Democrats are smart (NB: they are not), they should capitalise on the momentum from this and make the Republicans pay for the next few elections.

From the failing New York Times. They put Jones up to a 90% certainty but he's currently slipping back a bit, so I, ah, might have gone a little early.

I hope not, but if so, then all the more my point - the Democrats are a joke of a party if they can't beat someone like Moore. We already know the Republicans are, but the Dems just as much if they can't work out how to defeat a political party that has gone so far off the deep end.

Looks like Montgomery County is Jones' only hope.

The GOP are done here as the remaining votes will all favor Jones. Hard to say if the result is due to Trump or the rape allegations but I suspect this is a one off and the next Senate election here the GOP candidate will win easily as long as they too have not had any serious allegations against them.

Turns out you can't be anti Semitic if your attorney is a jew

 

[Lethality]

NYT is leaning towards Jones now in their projections. 50% still left in Jefferson County where Moore is lagging.

 

[Lethality]

Looks like a win for Jones?

 

[SilentHunter_]

Jones won

 

[GWBogan]

LOL eat s**t Trump and Trumpkins.

 

[Lethality]

AP has called it for Jones.

Time for him to tweet that Moore was a weak candidate who didn't follow his policies.

 

[SilentHunter_]

A win for what's morally right.

 

[Gough]

Every chance the next stop for Moore might be jail.

 

[WA ROO]

A win for what's morally right.

This is a victory for the GOP old guard
Moore or someone like him is considered a worse thread to them than a Dem

I don't give a * about the GOP or Dems and whomever this may benefit. It is about calling a spade a spade and that was done.

 

[ep2018]

The roll on effect from this will be massive. Less likely their tax reform will pass the Senate and the repulsion of net neutrality will be impossible now.

The Republican old guard who threw the full resources of the GOP behind Roy Moore when it looked like he could win?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Time for him to tweet that Moore was a weak candidate who didn't follow his policies.

He'll call it a smear campaign, dirty politics etc. He'll reiterate that he supported Moore because Moore swore his innocence. He will say it had nothing to do with him and perhaps throw other GOP reps under the bus for not endorsing Moore.

 

[smokingjacket]

My prediction: The above video of Roy Moore talking about his relationship with the Jews becomes part of a grand Soros conspiracy on Infowars.

You are defending a creationist child molester.

After not wanting him anywhere near Washington
That was before the allegations
Yes they reluctantly got on at the end

 

[Forward Press]

The fact that a child molester - a pedophile - got this close in the first place speaks volumes about the polarisation of politics in America.

Good riddance.

 

[WA ROO]

No
I pointed out the Ryan,McConnell etc never wanted Moore
Before the allegations
