Too many libs continue to tout their fantasies about Doug Jones win in Alabama. Alabama is not turning blue or even purple. It is as conservative as you can get. The one and only reason he won is because we (yet again) shot ourselves in the foot by nominating a deeply flawed candidate. If I were Jones, I wouldn’t go signing any long term leases in DC. He has to stand for re-election in two years and that seat will be coming back home where it belongs.
Doug Jones will be kneecapped by his liberal voting record.
And his anti-gun rhetoric doesn’t play well down South.
You are correct. He will lose his next election. GOPe forced a canadate and he lost to a local phenomenon. Then everyone stayed home after the republican primary because it was all screwed up by that time. Roy pulled a Hillary and didn’t campaign and counted his chicks before they hatched. 2020 will put the universe back to its natural state. Until then there is a slight tilt to the left.
OMG it's like people are brainwashed or something! When Moore won in 2012, he had over a million votes! He wasn't a bad candidate in 2017, he was a candidate that was attacked and destroyed by the combine efforts of the Democrat media Weapon and deliberate Republican backstabbing.
Without the media repeating lies about him, and without the Republican party officials urging everyone to either stay home or vote for someone else, Moore would have won that race.
I'm noticing a pattern. Richard Mourdock, George Allen, Sharon Angle, Joe Miller, Christine O'Donnell, and Chris McDaniels all seem to be "bad candidates" after the RINO faction of the Washington DC Uniparty finishes stabbing them in the back by supporting the Democrat media narratives about them.
You know what these candidates also had in common? They were going to oppose a continuation of the Washington DC spending/influence party that we call a "government."
Democrats constantly say and do incredibly stupid things, but their party never sells them out (nor does the media attack them) as "bad candidates."
1. Roy Moore was never too "flawed" to be in the same body that housed the Kennedys, Robert Byrd and Robert Menendez, among many other sleazy crooks of both parties. He would have been the straightest guy there. He was never a pedo or a child molester - he dated young women, often with the consent of their parents. 2. This was the clumsiest political hit in history. He still would have won in a walk if the traitorous GOP had supported him. Hope Richard Shelby burns in hell, soon, for his part. 3. Moore did run a poor campaign, in many ways like the hildebeast. He thought it was in the bag so did not really campaign. It should have been in the bag. Suspect he had very poor advice, knowing who his chief political advisor was. Again, the party could have stepped in and helped, but did not. 4. The GOP willingly tossed this seat to hurt the President. Is it beyond reason to think they are willing to toss the midterms as well?
Agreed. It was a fluke election.
Don’t be surprised if Jones decides to switch his Party Affiliation to Republican in the next year. He’s smart enough to know he is toast in Alabama in 2020 if he stays a Democrat.
