One piece of shit down, one to go.
Actually, this will turn out to be the best of all worlds for the Republicans. In order to keep both Houses of Congress, the recalcitrant "never trumper's" will get over their aversion to Donnie and double down on getting Republicans elected at all levels. Now that the "collusion and obstruction of justice" allegations have fizzled out, the left is working overtime to get Trump impeached or have him step down, which will also fail. The voters are getting fed up with all this nonsense and are tuning out all the current BS from the lying liberals.
Lol, do ya think we might even get to the bottom of Benghazi! now, Normie??
The upset of the decade or more...Excellent.
Let's not forget that an even better-known sexual predator carried Alabama by a huge margin just a year ago. I don't think even pedophilia is enough to sink an average Republican there. Beyond the pedophilia, Moore is a tinfoil hat nutzoid.
Oh, and... The Republican Party is in the process of passing a "rob the poor, give to the rich" tax law. Eviscerating the EPA. Turning National Monument land over to strip miners. Handing the Internet to Comcast and Spectrum. And much, much more...
So maybe there were ordinary "vote against the bad guys" motives, as well.
One thing for the Right to think about tonight, the last Republican to win a Senate seat in Alabama won by a margin of 97% to 3%, that was Jeff Sessions.
One thing for the left to think about tonight, the last Democrat to run against Jeff Sessions raised $4,497 for his campaign and had no national support. You can win races in red states, if you decide to show up.
There’s a good article on Vox about the consequences for Steve Bannon, who was deeply engaged in Moore's campaign, as of the Republican primary.
I hope he's going back to his cave
This is a great example of wining the battle to lose the war. Moore, who couldn't be trusted near a microphone in the run up to the election, would have been an albatross in the senate. Now he's a footnote.
Now the Republicans can seriously get down to doing the people's business. The first order of the day is getting another Republican in that seat as soon as possible
Mark this BIG WIN for the Democrats down to the damn gop going over the edge for a creep known locally in Alabama for being such a chomo he was banned by his God fearing conservative local peers from their local mall and even the local YMCA (YIKES) for being such an unrepentant child molester and pervert and generally creepy character. Only the rural backwater snake handling bassackwards fundie small r republicans of the reicht wing small g gop voted for Moore who will likely run again and likely lose again. It is no wonder the party of Lincoln is sadly now known merely as the damn gop...
You will not see another word printed by the Washington Post about Roy Moore and every one of the women who accused him will suddenly disappear and that will be the end of it. We have to eventually accept the fact that the low the Left will go has not been established yet.
Not true - we have some newbies who are like dogs with a bone - they won't quit.
God bitch slapped Moore.
Moore’s wife was God’s tipping point.
Have you seen how Adam Sandler’s Chanukah is seeing a rebirth on Twitter?
David Lee Roth /
Lights the menorah /
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and Roy Moore's lawyer
That woman is a moron
You're kidding about Roy's wife posting that on twitter, right Hal?
Not his wife, just other people who noticed the extreme similarity of Moore’s wife’s “IS A JEW” comment (complete with eyes bulging and chicken necking) to Adam Sandler.
