As the future of the United States of America hangs in the balance, the Republicans predictably cowered to the latest Democrat smear attempts in the Alabama Senate election. After being political abandoned by the Republican party and many mainstream pundits, Judge Roy Moore lost the Alabama Senate election in an upset to Democrat Doug Jones.
We won’t win every battle, but we will win the war.
Some Republicans gave that seat to the Democrats by bowing to feminism with false accusations against one of their own.
Outside of Trump, who’s fighting?
Good point.
WTF ever:
This is a one off. Believe me.
They have been saying each of these is a referendum on Trump and then losing.
They got one win , so far
However, in 2018 they have 25 seats up, compared to 8 Republican.
They have, minimum, 11 at risk, while republicans have merely 1.
My guess is they lose 8 we end up at 59 seats majority.
Unless everyone becomes a masyginist or pedophile next year.
We’ll see
PS. In the meantime, they aren’t seeing what the other hand is doing and we are stacking up wins like cord wood.
Judiciary being the biggest thus far
The Swamp won. Mitch McConnell saw off a candidate radioactive for the GOP in 2018.
Moore was sunk by his past. Never do anything that will come back to haunt you later.
Decent behavior is not optional. I tend to see this defeat as coming with a silver lining.
WLS has reported Jones lead in recent tallies is 7/10ths of 1% the major factor has been the write in vote. Moore has not conceded yet this might go into a recount.
I don’t know friend. I want to be positive too, but are there enough of us in the country willing to fight?
I mentioned earlier tonight that I think they will move the goalposts, as they always do. Next time around it will be a candidate accused of anti-transgender or anti-Muslim stuff. I'd bet money on it.
I have stopped thinking that “the left is gaining” all the time. I have finally come to the realization that the right has backed off, backed out, groveled and has created a vacuum.
the ‘left’ has moved into that vacuum.
The ‘right’, the Republicans, have fooled us for years.
They’re the nice man next dor who turns out to be a serial killer, a pedophile, a secret drunk. They are not what they seem and I don’t think they ever have been. They are Judases and have been selling us out for a long, long time.
It’s not that the left is so strong or has the media on their side; it’s that the so-called right, our conservative leaders, have collapsed, turned coat, and have created a vacuum into which the left has happily moved.
the country has proved over and over that it is conservative. The left is becoming crazier by the day. It’s not that they are strong but our leaders are weak slobs. Squalid money-hungry dogs. The leftists are not smart. Our “leaders” are just uncommonly stupid.
Any undefended ground will be taken by opportunists. The opportunists don’t even have to be very bright, as long as those who were supposed to defend us are
What I am saying is, the Long March into the institutions was a march into a country without an army. And ha ha all along we thought the Republicans were on our side.
I remember when Romney was running for President and Rush was loyally trying to get behind him and he said, “I really do think he wants to win!” As if this were a wonderful and unexpected surprise!! God between us and evil.
Roy Moore was a terrible candidate. Leaving the state to go to a football game? Interviewed by 12 year old? Totally tone deaf candidate, and yes. It’s creepy for 30+ year olds to date teenagers even if it’s illegal.
Nevertheless, I would have crawled over broken glass to vote for him! Why? Because Roy Moore would have been much better politically than Doug Jones.
Sadly, some of Roy’s ardent supporters don’t realize that charisma matters. It doesn’t matter how righteous one’s views may be. You have to at least consider electability, and Roy Moore simply can’t inspire anyone beyond a core group.
Now I’m not saying Roy Moore is entirely at fault here. The Republican Party is chock full of back stabbing scumbags. You don’t see Democrats bailing on their candidates (Franken and Conyers don’t count as they are safe Democrat seats).
OK, so now Moore lost. Are we going to hear any more from the accusers or are they now going to drop out of sight, like they did with Herman Cain? I know where I’d put my money.
They’ll move on to Trump now, the sharks smell the blood in the water. Getting Moore was just a means to an end.
It ain’t over UNTIL it’s over and ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED !
JUDGE Roy Moore should NOT concede until EVERY VOTE is counted !
They’re still counting votes!
NEEDS MORE UPPERCASE LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS..!
YOU CAN BORROW SOME OF MINE IF YOU LIKE..!
I’M NOT USING ‘EM..!
Agreed. He was tone deaf.
LOL..
