Republicans stayed home.

Moore got about half the votes Trump had gotten.

Only a very bad candidate could lose in Al.

Clearly, Moore was not well liked in Al. and should not have been the primary candidate.

And they stayed home because the Republican establishment came out full force against Moore and even publicly donated to his opponent.

I wrote that an upset by liberal Doug Jones was improbably plausible, due exclusively to the disastrously awful candidate Republicans had nominated.


Total nonsense. The airbrushing of history by the GOPe and their toadies like Guy Benson has begun.

That seems to be it. They wouldn’t vote for the D, but enough of them believed the allegations, so they just didn’t vote.

And to be perfectly frank, some of the stuff he DID admit to gave me the creeps, but it was 40 years ago. It doesn’t really matter today. If everything every one of us did in their life was suddenly exposed, I think we’d all spend at least a little time in prison. I outran the cops once back in 1973.

Don’t tell my mom.

I trust Gloria will enjoy the Swiss bank account Mitch set up for her. She earned it.

We not only lose a critical senate seat, but we get stuck with a timid Attorney General who is afraid of his own shadow. Hopefully AG Sessions will come out of his coma in 2020 and try get get his seat back.

Not one republican, especially not this jerk, even bothered to as “What if he’s not guilty?”

When republicans don’t care about the law it’s over for all of us. I didn’t like Roy Moore but I was disgusted by watching him get railroaded. I can’t watch TV, I gag every time I see the faces.

He lost the same way Hitlary did. Overconfident and highly unlikable...

Moore lost because McConnell, Rove and other RINOs spent $10 million trashing conservatives Brooks and Moore, and trying to throw the nomination to their own guy, who wound up losing the primary anyway

Internal strife is never a recipe for success.

The dems that crossed over for Trump care about immigration and job re-shoring, and little else from the R platform, and don’t want conservatives in their social sphere.

I have a hard time believing that of all the republicans who dragged themselves out of bed to pull the lever for Mitt Romney (the republican champion of gay "marriage" and socialized medicine), less than half of them would show up to prevent a proabortion / proinvasion democrat from taking an Alabama Senate seat. This smells rotten. I'd really like to see a post election investigation of Jefferson County. I have no doubt boots on the ground could turn up more than 66,309 Moore voters.

His Rino party in Congress and RNC both came out against him and worked extensively for the Democrats as they often do behind the scenes. Then he was painted as a child molester by the MSM when nothing he did 30 years ago fit that description. It was disgusting from the get go. I’m ashamed to be associated with the RINO party.

There were also more throwaway write in votes than Moore lost by.

We should now be inclined to couple polling results with expected voter turnout. All I saw here on FR was that Moore was leading in the polls, then- badda bing. We better start going for accuracy in data gathering and DATA INTERPRETATION or they gonna be more big surprises coming up.

Justify and analyze the JUDGE ROY MOORE defeat as much as you want. The stark reality is that ALABAMA elected a Senator who believes in PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION and many stand accountable for making it happen through their false witness.

Total unmitigated Bull S--t

I wrote this to go an another thread. The thread was pulled. I drop it here.

While I write this commentary another 50 humans will be executed aborted in the womb.

Doug Jones is pro abortion. We are trying to get around to defunding Planned Parenthood. Why, because they kill over one million humans per year. Another reason is that without the permission of the mothers, these agencies sell baby body parts to the highest bidder.

As a people we look back on mass murderers like Hitler and his agents of evil, and trash them to no end. Then we proceed to allow the type of evil that Planned Parenthood perpetrates. It's downright genocidal, and there's no denying it.

When someone tells me they're glad a pro-life man lost to a supporter of genocide, I just shake my head and wonder where this person's morals trotted off to.

Roy Moore has not been charged with killing humans. He was charged with doing improper things with young women by consent. One of his accusers did say he tried to do something without her consent, but her story contained a number of factual errors others could verify.

The only charge against Moore, was something she couldn't verify.

So when folks tell me they're glad Moore lost, they're telling me they are happy humans will die. They are happy women made charges that had major problems, and that a man's career was ended on the premise women never lie about such matters.

Now that's what I call, the moral high ground. /s Yes, that "/s" means, just being sarcastic because there is no moral high ground to something that is indisputable, and no high ground judging a man guilty for something that isn't.

As if this wasn't enough to hang your head in shame about, related to being happy Roy Moore was defeated, it's also indisputable that it will now be much harder to get good judges approved.

This won't limit the Leftist villainy to matters of abortion. It will unleash the Leftist mindset when it comes to all manner of Leftist rulings from our highest courts in the land.

No, Roy Moore won't help us approve great judges. Whew! Aren't you relieved! I know I am! /s Once again we open the gates to a sarcastic comment. I'd feel a little guilty but then nobody feels guilty of helping to defeat Roy Moore and call him names to boot. Worst candidate ever!!!

Give Babe Ruth a 14" bat and see what his average winds up being. Hand a tennis player a ball bat, and lets see how many sets he wins. Refuse to hand off to one of the best three point shooters in the NBA, and lets see what his season totals wind up being. Yes, put a pitcher on the mound, with nobody but a catcher on the field. Let's see what his era winds up being.

And once this has been done, let's trash him for being the worst ever. That's what various brain-trusts are stepping up to say about Roy Moore today.

Cut off from any help, Roy Moore got the fewer votes yesterday. He went into the day with a 14" bat, no hand-offs, and no other players on the court/field. What a pretender! what a failure! He let us all down, darn it! He got fewer votes.

Those who giggle at Doug Jones ability to get more votes yesterday, can giggle for the next three years as he helps Nancy Pelosi and the worst Democratic team to take the court/field, in our nation's history.

Laugh it up airheads. Your proud display of morality will cost millions of more deaths, and a lot more destruction to our nation.

Doesn't that just make you giddy with pride.

Well, y'all go ahead and nominate you a nice Republican-Democrat-atheist nominee. Enjoy yourselves. I won't be voting for them.

Establishment Republicans stayed home or wrote-in the name of other candidate.

The Republican party is known as the stupid party for a reason. The establishment is at war with base of its party.
