I mean Moore was a crazy shitbag with terrible views who was impeached twice even before the kid stuff came out. Even if Jones can fit the bill of "normal guy" I think they'll be better off. Plus I think he made his name fighting the KKK, so that already puts him a step over normal.

But the lulz, man.

Going back to Corrik's earlier point, 538 and CNN have almost converged at this point. Still off slightly, though.

I have no idea where the earlier discrepancy was coming from.

They are the same people who bullied and harassed a 23 year old girl into killing herself last week. The same people harassing and making accusations at a 12 year old boy with a deformed face today.

It may not be all, but it's enough. It's why last November was such a joy, to see the absolute worst parts of humanity be so distraught was worth it


OK so...do we get to say all Republicans are KKK members now?

Fuck we REALLY need Jones!

Do you genuinely believe 100% of democrats or democratic leaning people are bad?


They are the same people who bullied and harassed a 23 year old girl into killing herself last week. The same people harassing and making accusations at a 12 year old boy with a deformed face today.

It may not be all, but it's enough. It's why last November was such a joy, to see the absolute worst parts of humanity be so distraught was worth it.

I didn't care much about this race until today because I stay out of politics for the most part. But the Keaton Jones thing got me really fired up this morning so here we are.


That was a fraction of a fraction of the left. A fraction of a fraction.

There are just as many bad people on the right. You can't judge an entire group by its worst examples. (Which, coincidentally, Roy Moore is literally one of the worst examples of "the right" we've seen in modern politics. If you're a conservative, you should be happy he's gone.)

Damning statement from Senate Leadership Fund CEO Steven Law: This is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running. Not only did Steve Bannon cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country, but he also dragged the President of the United States into his fiasco.

This.

And I'm the guy who came right out and said most of these accusations were false. This also sets the very bad precedent that women can just outright lie about anyone they want and get away with it. All that being said, fuck Roy Moore.

Yeah conservatives should absolutely be happy, this is a healthy result for them to push back to normalcy. Sure it's a short-term loss but there's no way in hell Alabama doesn't flip back next time around.

Basically, SephyG is right.

I hope you are prepared, because I 100% guarantee Bannon/Trump are going into full on war mode on McConnell and "establishment" (i.e. sane) GOP.

This is a 100% going back to the Republicans in 3 years.

And it saves them from having to figure out what the hell to do when Moore showed up and they can't just kick him out. Dems would pound literally every single Republican on that in 2018. It would be even rougher for them in what is already going to be a bad cycle for Republicans.

This is great for America, but also really good for the Republican Party imo.

CNN is literally already calling this a referendum on Trump.

Trump endorsed Luther Strange. This is a referendum on Roy Moore and the Alabama practice of "hey as a parent it's cool if you date my 16 year old". There's also not a huge albatross about the GOP, so I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. There is no way this doesn't flip back next time around anyway.

What a sad outlook on life, that there are literally only two sides and every single person on each side is exactly the same.

Everyone against him was the same by your own logic, so Roy "child molester, child brothel visitor, when we had slaves was the best time" Moore stands for everything you believe?

Grow up, dude.
