Yep. It was the end. I’d rather not have 30 somethings come calling on my teenage granddaughters. I want Jones with that problem, not my guy. Every parent in their gut has a hard time getting past that.

We needed a blanket denial on Hannity, and Moore dodged instead.

A lousy AG, Sessions never should have left that seat. All around this is all pain, no gain whatsoever.

Classy post? If I have read 50 I’ve read 100 comments tonight blaming Trump for Moore’s loss. And now this early on congratulatory tweet will not sit well with many Freepers
-

What on earth are you talking about? The tweet is perfect, and Trump had NOTHING to do with Moore losing - nor have I noticed ANY sentiment here blaming Trump for this loss.

Classy post from President Trump.

Exactly. The POTUS recognized the need to find a way to do business with him somehow. And if Jones wants to be more than a 3-year placeholder for a future GOP Senator, he'll do the same.

“Obama never had such class.”

True that. I don’t remember any statement of congratulations to Scott Brown for winning Dead Kennedy’s former seat in MA.

Well Trumps daughter ‘Ivanka’ wasn’t exactly helpful

She's easy on the eyes, but turning out to be a king-sized pain in the ass.

Good question. Why do you think he hasn’t done that?

TRUMP has “NOTHING” to do with that kind of nasty smelly campaign with Media carpet bombing and GOP-e against MOORE ?

TRUMP has “nothing” to do with SESSIONS the shamefull useless DOJ ?
USA is becoming a banana republic , with illegals pouring in ...., and he would have “nothing” to do with this ?

Don’t hide behind your finger , it will happen again and again ! It worked !

Yes, classy post.

Trump was great throughout this contest. Just for example, Shelby did not make his announcement without alerting Trump (and others) first and presumably well in advance. I cannot imagine that he would do that. And surely this did Moore in.

Yet Trump stuck with Moore notwithstanding that he KNEW Moore would almost surely lose. And even though Trump is on record endorsing Strange over Moore in the primary.

So, the question: What does Trump hope to gain in the larger war by knowingly suffering such losses in this one battle?

The answer: Because long term he wants the support of all segments of the Republican party, including the Bannon demographic. He earned that support in Alabama by first backing Strange and then staying loyal to Moore. How could he have managed any better in a situation that was a sure loser from the get go?

Why doesn’t Trump congratulate George Soros and Harvey Weinstein while he’s at it?
Look, I don’t blame Trump for the loss; I blame gullible voters, and holier-than-thou fools like Glenn Beck and Richard Shelby. Why would anyone vote for Trump, and then 13 months later vote for a Communist who wil undermine him at every turn?
Only 48% of Al voters approve of Trump. This is sick. Trump is doing extremely well against tremendous odds. But voters have been BS’d by the 24 hour non-stop flogging of this good man. To deny this fact is to ostrich-ize yourself from a very scary reality. America is dying, and self-administered poison will be the cause.

I’m starting to think this is not just a GOTV problem. Dems kept 92% of their voters from 2016, but GOP only kept 50%??!?!?!? This math looks very suspicious. Jefferson County only kept maybe 35% of their GOP voters. That’s, in my mind, impossible. Huge problem with numbers.

I fail to see how Trump is to blame here. The seat should never have been up for early election, but better to lose now, and win in the Fall.

Trump should just say he supported Moore thought he’d help drain the Swamp

Moore lost but the fight continues

He can just let the cacophony play out

It’lll take till Andy Cooper stops wetting his panties
