Hillary had 729,547 votes

On Tuesday night Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama special election for US senate.

Via The New York Times:

Republicans (Roy Moore) lost 667,819 votes — or 50% of 2016 vote

Democrat turnout in the special election — once they smelled blood — WAS ENORMOUS!

I would have voted for a Republican Jack the Ripper

That is exactly how we got the swamp in the first place. The GOP had it all this year. The House, The Senate, and POTUS. They blew it. All of it. The only thing that they have even attempted to do is a tax hike so messed up it has landed some in above 100% taxation.

I don't like it. But it is similar to my later cousin yelling at me for buying the wrong brand of car. The company he worked for had an inferior product, so I bought a different brand. I could have also just gave up the car and waited for something better.

The GOP needs to stop blaming voters, and start seeing the issues that the voters are having with the product. Right now, there are maybe three GOP congress critters I would bother to vote for, and one isn't even in my district so that is a no go.

[mykroar]

92% my ass.

[Revolutionary]

About 50,000 Moore votes missing from Jefferson County. They were the last to fully report.

[JayAr36]

The cesspool of dimm politics has coughed up another turd to add to their fetid sewer in the District of Corruption.

[EliRoom8]

Do we really have to use language like that?

[Dandy]

Too many people have given up on the republicans. They are a worthless bunch. They have had the house and senate and can’t or won’t do anything for our cause. The uniparty is alive and well. If I were in Alabama I would have stayed home also.....

[wardaddy]

It wasn’t just turnout but flips too

Soccer moms and post grads and youngsters all in the peckerwood tax paying class

[JayAr36]

DAMN RIGHT! If the truth hurts get a band-aid.

[Signalman]

Luther Strange would be the Senator-elect right now.

The GOP needs to stop blaming voters, and start seeing the
issues that the voters are having with the product.

***********

Yep, if you can't bring a satisfactory candidate to the ballot then
don't expect the voters to accept mediocrity.

[firebrand]

Obama robocalls.

[Enlightened1]

Yeah another Democrat with a “R” by his name.

No thanks!

Will never vote for Establishment trash. They are Democrats.

[dfwgator]

Yep, if you can't bring a satisfactory candidate to the ballot then don't expect the voters to accept mediocrity.

That has its' place, but right now, the stakes are too damn high.

[RJS1950]

How many in this massive turnout of dems were:

illegals
bused in from Mississippi
paid to vote multiple times
not eligible to vote?

Democrats cheat and steal elections. That has been their documented tradition for almost 200 years.

Once Moore pulled ahead, all of the above became a done deal, paid for by Obama and Soros.

[Slyfox]

The leftists have learned that all they have to do is put a sex scandal together along with massive amounts of lying advertising and they can get a ham sandwich elected.

Come on folks, this is ALL going according to plan. As viewed by the GOPe, DJT is an interloper. They bitterly opposed him and his policies and DID EVERYTHING they could to sabotage and defeat him. That he won despite this is an outrage to them. They are continuing to sabotage him in congress and in failing to defend him from an outrageous coup attempt.

The depression in GOP vote in Alabama will only fuel their fire and let them know they are on target. They can count on 2018 to be a disaster so that they can gladly hand over the congress. At the least, they can say “see, we told you to nominate Jeb.” As a bonus, they get Trump impeached.

The Rove/McCain wing of the party won’t let it go. Their technique is well known. They tell you your guy can’t win and to prove it they go about making sure your guy doesn’t. Then, they turn and say, “ told you so.” Akin to me telling you your car is no good and smashing it to pieces. Check no further than the stories today. The NeverTrumpers are “I told you soing” in droves. They are just warming up for after 2018.

Was Moore a flawed candidate? Sure, but what candidate isn’t? How many seated in congress today make Roy Moore look like a Boy Scout? It is a question of who digs out the dirt and who defends them. If from the get go Mitch had defended Moore, Moore is elected today. If Luther Strange had won and the WaPo flung this stuff against him (which will be the playbook against every GOP candidate btw), you bet Mitch would have defended him.

Yep, all doing according to plan. They already have 90% on FR saying they aren’t voting in 2018.

[SoFloFreeper]

I agree. This wasn’t “fraud” on a large scale. This was Republican voters not showing up...look, if Roy could have gotten just 2% more of Trump’s 2016 voters, he would’ve won bigly.

We can’t cry “fraud” at every loss.

Just like libs can’t cry “racist” or “sexist” at every loss. Gets old.

Sometimes you lose fair and square. That is what happened here, unless someone can convincingly show otherwise.

[kabar]

The NAACP was providing free bus service to the polls. Maybe they also provided “walking around money” as well.

[FlipWilson]

As if a sex scandal is a new trick? Without the GOPe hopping on this and advancing it, it doesn’t work in Alabama. As a matter of fact, it appears the GOPe took the lead on this one.
