Roy Jones decided it would be smart for him to bring down a former governor of Massachusetts and a sitting senator from New Jersey to help him win a statewide race in Alabama. This does not strike me as a winning strategy for some reason. Go figure.
But Jones has been pretty much tone deaf throughout this race, running essentially the same campaign strategy that Democrat Wendy Davis ran in the 2014 Texas gubernatorial race against Republican Greg Abbott. Davis, if you remember, ran a campaign based on abortion-on-demand, open borders and government control of everything, and brought in a bunch of leftwing Obama minions to “help”. That strategy, such as it was, resulted in Davis getting 38.9% of the vote vs. Abbott’s 59.3%. Granted, Democrats haven’t won a single statewide election in Texas since 1994, but that was an epic blowout even by Lone Star State standards.
In deploying essentially the same strategy as Davis, Jones will come closer in his race against Moore, but that doesn’t mean he ran a smarter race than Davis did. It just means he a lot more help from the fake news media, and from his opponent.
Finally, think about this: If you’re a “leader” in the national Democrat Party, and you see that you can’t even win a senate race in which the Republican has been the target of the single most focused fake news media hit job in modern U.S. history, how are you feeling about your chances of winning control of either house of congress in the 2018 mid-terms? Two words: Not very good. Ok, that’s three, but still…

Who is Roy Jones? ;)
Ah, crap. Senior moment.
Being from Alabama, I will note four observations on how the Democrats lost this race.
1. Bringing Deval Patrick and Corey Booker into Alabama. If you went and asked a hundred Alabama Democrats who Booker and Patrick are (just a one-line description)...less than five would be able to cite their job and state. It had zero affect.
2. If instead of Jones, you’d found a blue-dog RINO Democrat, or ran Boyd (the one black candidate in the primary)...you’d have another three to five points more. But you didn’t want a blue-dog RINO or a black.
3. Thinking that the comedians and wannabe journalists from MSNBC from the major networks would matter to most Alabamians. No, no one really cares. Try finding more than 3,000 Alabamians who watch the full morning MSNBC show each morning...it doesn’t register with most folks.
4. Thinking Moore would fall apart with the accusations. Go back over thirty years, the guy is the most stubborn individual in the state.
The one remarkable thing here, is that they put a ton of money into Jones, the women, the advertising, and it didn’t work.
My money’s on Doug Moore!
Great points all around. We saw the same thing happen in the Wendy Davis race - the more money the leftwingers put into advertising and bringing in out-of-state politicians to try to “help”, the worse Wendy’s numbers got.
It’s truly amazing how tone deaf the entire Democrat party can be at times.
They’re all pretty much the same. Politicians.
Please win the race first... thanks
In other words, there was a group of voters who were repelled by the notion of Roy Moore being involved with underage girls (true or not) and rejected him for it. The Dem's take this is as a sign of their candidate's popularity, so they double down on their "message". The liberal message is more offensive than the allegations of Roy Moore being involved with underage girls (particularly as lack of proof is established), and these voters either return to the Moore fold, or decide to stay out of the election.
Yep. It’s pretty hard to convince voters you are worried about under-age girls when you are in favor of killing those under-age girls even up to the point of natural delivery.
