Steve Bannon's Big Loss in Alabama
https://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/steve-bannons-big-loss-alabama/ ^

Posted on 12/13/2017 3:43:25 AM PST by deek69

The big loser in Tuesday's Alabama's special Senate election was not the Republican Party. They had already lost weeks ago, the moment the Washington Post wrote their (carefully vetted, in this instance) exposé of the thirty-year-old sexual proclivities of Judge Roy Moore.

Big loss? Hardly. It wasn’t a landslide.

Carefully vetted my eye

Yes, huge loss for Bannon. Now I suspect his primaries won't get off the launch pad.

1) No on is insane enough now to challenge incumbents in primaries. They have been warned that the enemy (media, Dems, RINOs) will pull out all the stops and troll for someone to accuse them of sexual assault.

2) If anyone is that insane, primary voters will reject them thinking (wrongly) that the person they know is a safer bet.

That really sucks. The only way I can think Bannon can get revenge at this point is to support the Democrat in each and every race and send the RINOs packing.

I don’t read articles that start with the nonsense that these claims were carefully vetted.

Anyone who actually paid attention to the entire race knew Bannon was a Mo Brooks guy but the people of Alabama apparently weren’t. He supported Moore after he was the obvious choice against Strange and Jones.

No, they didn’t, BUT America is now officially obsessed with sexual allegations. At least moderate swing voters have done so. Sex now trumps the Trump agenda.

You can imagine the arguments I had with the wife - they are VERY charged.

She believes the accusations against Trump. I 100% think they are total BS. She doesn’t think it is unusual to make claims 1 month before an election. I do. She says no woman would make up these claims just for notoriety. I think she is wrong on that. Maybe she is taking a women’s point of view and I am taking a man’s (that so many of these claims are bogus and destroy lives)

And the Dems will keep them all and win 5 of the GOP seats. The “drag up ugly old hags to make false claims” strategy worked. They will rinse and repeat against most of the GOP seats. This is the new climate we live in.

What? The swamp won last night. He stared them down but had no idea they would go this far - actually preferring the Democrat win than an outsider. He totally underestimated (as we all did) their satanic viciousness.

Yep and I am going to take at least a month holiday from FNC. I don’t think I can bear their analysis and crowing about this special election. They are now part of the MSM.

No chance the GOP will grow their lead. The Democrats will simply take the strategy used by McConnell to defeat Moore, and use it against them. They better be prepared, because women they never heard of are about the dragged into the limelight claiming sexual assault.

I agree. 54 seats likely for Democrats in the Senate. Probably won’t lose the House - that will take 2 cycles. And the media is going to go gangbusters now against Trump on the allegations against him. Be prepared for more ugly old broads to be on TV crying their eyes out.

If AL is so Republican why did they just vote for a baby killing Democrat? Because they believed unproven claims that Moore was a sexual predator.

The RINOS are just too stupid to realize they are finished. I agree. The Republican party (Senate, House, Governors, POTUS) is finished.

My guess is he is a lazy SOB, drawing a paycheck and is more interested chasing male pages than passing legislation.

I’d bet the only thing Turdle chases is an ice cube floating in his whiskey glass.

What I don’t understand is why sexual allegations against Democrats don’t turn off Democratic woman voters?

To me it is obvious the take down was orchestrated by the RINOS.

So we learned even discredited accusations means you are finished. You can’t defend against this.
