One year ago nobody thought a Democrat could possibly win Jeff Sessions' seat in Alabama.

That situation was hardly comparable. Swamp rat Luther Strange got appointed into the Senate via a deal with the corrupt governor (who was facing impeachment), and the people of Alabama didn't react well and voted for Moore in the runoff. Yertle the Turtle didn't like that result, and gave little support to Moore, while the RATS poured cash into Jones' coffers.

Strange was probably the worst endorsement Trump ever made.

Now, Luther Strange is is back in the DC swamp with a new gig.

And what part of that, as told, was preventing Alabama from keeping the Dem out of the seat?

You stay home = you voted for the Dem.

No one cares about hurt feelings in some intra-party dispute.

Trump's endorsements are simple: He will endorse the most-electable candidate who will support his MAGA agenda and his judicial appointments. Luther Strange qualified. The incumbent will always have an advantage.

In the end however, it were Trump's own voters who screwed him. On the individual level, 650,000 Trump voters loathed Roy Moore but they were all certain he'd still win without their votes so they stayed home. I doubt you'd find any Trump voters who voted for Jones. And I'll bet every one of those 650,000 "individuals" who stayed home wished they chose differently as they watched the results come in.

Complacency killed us in Alabama and it could very well kill us in Texas.

I disagree, McCain and Romney endorsements were worse.

Don’t forget the treachery of Richard Shelby. If he holds his nose and endorses Moore, Moore wins.
