Yes.
I have sure seen a lot of posts, claiming this or that reason, for his loss.
The reason he lost, is the GOPe abandoned him. The same GOPe that is completely sold out globally, sending US manufacturing to our largest threat, go forward. China.
That is what happened. The GOPe is completely sold out.
Trump stood up for the guy. But a lot of the GOP sold him out.
THEY are the reason. Don’t forget the ones who opposed him. Do not forget.
They are the reason a democrat won.
What happened is the same thing that happened in VA and NJ and is happening other places - Democrat turnout is very high for off year elections. In VA at least I read where they used some very sophisticated data driven techniques for getting young voters to the polls. In AL it was largely about blacks.Democrat turnout is driven largely by their hysterical rhetoric about Trump getting their base whipped into a frenzy.
Meanwhile the Republican turnout has been closer to the typical off year election turnout.
That in a nutshell is what is happening right now. Hopefully the RNC and Trumps people are taking this in and developing some kind of sophisticated game plan to drive up GOP turnout. But the Democrats methods are emotion driven. Trump can talk about the economy, manufacturing booming etc., but that doesnt get people emotional. He could talk about how the Dems are blocking the wall. But the GOP candidates would have to talk about it as well.
To me the thing that could and should get Republicans angry is that the Democrats are going to impeach Trump and are coordinating on a big lie (Russia collusion) because they cannot accept that they lost the election. This is scary stuff. But as we know lots of Republican politicians dont want to go there.
The bottom line is they have to come up with something and all get on the same message, but history suggests the GOP is incapable of that.
What a crock of crap. The gope did that great man in and needs what is about to happen to them. They disserve it. 100%. Lying whores but that is not what got him.it was power hungary leftist gope bastards. Get ready for a blood bath now . Republicrats won. But we lost a hell of a fine senator..
Do not ever vote for. Republican again unless McConnell resigns.
The Democrats will take both houses of congress in 2018. Republican voters have nothing to vote for, congressional Reublicans are a joke. Democrat voters are enthusiastic and motivated, riding a wave on Trump and the Republicans unpopularity. If Mueller is able to cook up something to hang Trump with, it will be a massive blow out.
The “Fat Lady” has yet to sing!!!!!!!!!!!
He was a terrible candidate.
To defeat Roy Moore, it took the entire mobilized DNC, the corrupt media and most of the RNC.
They won by 1.5%.
That is not a victory, it is a whimper.
The Democrats and media are already claiming this is a mandate, etc. They will over play their hand. They call Doug Jones, the Scott Brown of 2017.
In 2 years we will replace Doug Jones with a Republican.
As long as we do not replace Doug Jones with a fake Indian, we will be OK.
I agree that Alabama was the product of a flawed candidate. But it wasn’t the first time the GOP lost a seat due to a flawed candidate and it won’t be the last.
Roy Moore’s “baggage” was the Republican Party.

Indiana and Missouri are in play for the GOP next year. We might pick up two seats.
Mr. Limbaugh has a firm grasp of the obvious!
“Roy Moore was a uniquely problematic candidate...”
Blah blah blah, Moore was going to help Trump drain the swamp.
Instead AL gave us a swamp monster insider.
Thanks AL... idiots.
