Roy Moore / Alabama Special Senate Election Megathread

[Outer Sparta]

Roll Tide Alabama! Doug Jones won!

[Cekoviu]

Won by 1%. I'll take it.

Possibly more, Birmingham still has more votes to count.

[Jerzylvania]

This is gonna make things more difficult for the GOP than it already is. Moderates like Murkowski, Collins, and now Jones are going to really be a block from the GOP passing more radical reforms.

Murkowski and Collins will back GOP policy way more than Jones. Jones will probably vote like Donnely or Mnuchin.

Jones owes the Dems that came into Bammy and went to bat for him. He'll do better than you think.

[Major-Tom]

TYT... Dennis Hastert... George Soros

Guys, stop ruining the thread for me. Thank you!

Oh yeah, and I agree with Liri, TYT isn't a thing anymore.

Hastert? Wasn't he the bathroom stall foot tapper guy?

That was Craig. Hastert was the House Majority Leader during much of the Bush Era, from Illinois. Confirmed child molester.

[Hakons]

“I hope Senator-elect Doug Jones will do the right thing and truly represent Alabama by choosing to vote with the Senate Republican Majority.” - NRSC Chairman Cory Gardner.

Sure ok.

If he doesn't vote moderately, he's almost definitely going to lose in 2020 (but the loss might happen regardless)

Ohhh ok. Thanks!

So many scandals in the history of American politics, it's tough to keep track sometimes haha.

[The East Marches II]

Of course, Shofercia the liberal here to take the fight against the treacherous Blue Dogs :^)

I'm glad you aren't in charge and one of those was able to win tonight. It'd be a real shame to see them commit suicide on the national stage.

You do know that the Blue Dogs lost power quicker than most incumbents, right? Eastern Marches 2.0 being inconvenienced by facts once again!

During the Red Wave, but they are competitive in places where people like you wouldn't nail over 20%. Thats what matters. Of course, one could argue that given your anti-American stance, its not surprising you would be advocating self-defeating strategies or opinions for the country.

Uh yeah, we have this nasty tendency of politicians getting jailed for shady shit. Apologies.

[Saiwania]

Oh yeah, and I agree with Liri, TYT isn't a thing anymore.

What is? I was under the impression that The Young Turks is representative of the regressive or far left so far as a prominent media voice goes. I purposely go to them to hear what the far left is saying like I go to Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh for conservative analysis. The alternatives to TYT I can think of, are Secular Talk or David Pakman.

[Hakons]

Murkowski and Collins will back GOP policy way more than Jones. Jones will probably vote like Donnely or Mnuchin.

Jones owes the Dems that came into Bammy and went to bat for him. He'll do better than you think.

And "Bammy" will strike him out if he votes like a coastal liberal.

Y'all should just stop sending people to DC.

Three words: Chapo. Trap. House.

[Major-Tom]

Livestream of the Moore Campaign and Moore's reaction here. I'll check it sporadically.

To be fair, who really deserves to be sent to DC?

[Jerzylvania]

Let's not forget Senator Shelby and his vote dor the write-in comment on Sunday. The write-in votes are more than the difference between Jones and Moore.

Well played Senator Shelby, well played indeed.

[Major-Tom]

Y'all should just stop sending people to DC.

....Yeah, fair.

The difference between you and me, Eastern Marches 2.0, is that you just whine about losers, and about how competitive their race was. I, on the other hand, win by just sticking to the fact. Like the fact that a monkey can get over 20% in a competitive district. The biggest margin of victory was less than 15% in a battleground state. Yet, you think that if I'd be running it, that'd be 50%. A typical mistake for you to make, Eastern Marches 2.0. 15%, 50%, it's all the same to you. Of course failing math is a self-defeating policy, but I don't expect you to know that, so I'm informing you.

[Hakons]

Trump's loss will.

Trump is overwhelmingly likely to win Alabama, and Jones is likely to lose his seat.

Trump is set to lose nationally at the moment, but Alabama is red+ for the foreseeable future.

[Jerzylvania]

Jones owes the Dems that came into Bammy and went to bat for him. He'll do better than you think.

And "Bammy" will strike him out if he votes like a coastal liberal.

More importantly, Trump is done. His boy lost in the ruby red Alabama. Nice work. The wave is gonna be huuuuuuggggge in Novemebr 2018!

>whine about losers

You were just whining about the winner not two posts ago. Your Russian media style posting is confusing, could you clear that up for me?

Where was I whining about the winner? Oh right, I forgot, you never actually go into the facts, you just attack your opponent until he starts ignoring you. Also, not sure you're aware of this, but a winner isn't a loser.

Apart from right now....where it's blue.

[Jerzylvania]

Steve Bannon, you failed totally. Miserable loser.
