Politics is a bloodsport...but, it is also a people contact sport. When I learned back a week or so ago, that Judge Roy Moore was not out campaigning in public...I knew this political game for Moore was over or, at least on a dangling, dangerous lifeline.
One of the many major reasons that Democrat, Hillary Clinton lost her POTUS run to Donald J. Trump is that she literally stopped major campaign activity starting in August, 2016...a big, major mistake. Pressing the flesh of voters is an absolute must and, Doug Jones did exactly that many times over.
Roy Moore did exactly the same thing as Clinton...hid in the closet of protection, so he thought was safe & sound, and he would be OK. Not true!!!
POTUS, Donald J. Trump saw the flaws in the Moore campaign, back In September, 2017, when Moore defeated Luther Strange in a runoff election...stating that if Luther Strange had won the runoff the senate seat would be a safe one, ending with a big victory for Luther Strange in the December 12, election.
As much as Trump hates losing the Senate to a Democrat, I'll bet he is relieved that Roy Moore is now not a continuing problem for both him & the entire GOP Caucus.
You were right and, I was wrong...Jones comes up for re-election in November of 2020. Sorry for my mistake.
I never saw the video, just saw it mentioned on Drudge Report.
I felt shocked and a bit depressed at the result, I was never a full-supporter but I would have voted for him.
