>>>Alabama is now a blue state.

Heard on the radio that the plant might well have ended up in NC if Moore had won.

Very temporary senator...I hope.

Hopefully Republican primary voters can learn something from the Roy Moore disaster, something they didn't learn after the disasters of Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Todd Akin, and Richard Mourdock.

Big Problem - The snowflakes don’t want to work on Production lines in a manufacturing plant. Toyota is offering good wages, benefits, long term job security, etc. The 20 somethings last about 3 days before they walk off the line and quit. The Toyota Plants in Indiana are holding job fares and begging the snowflakes to apply for a job.

"Mercedes, Honda, Hyundai, Airbus, and now Toyota and Mazda, among others, all have assembly plants in Alabama."

It did just go Democrat. 2018 midterms are starting to look like a blood bath for the Republican Congress. DJT has a limited time to get legislation in place.
