I believe I read that Trump won Alabama with more votes than were cast on either side. Why don’t voters come out for special elections? Lots has been written on that one. My sense for this election is that Moore withdrew at the same time he was being massively outspent.
He wouldn’t debate, he wouldn’t interview, and he was too broke to spend on advertising.
He disappeared. I suppose he hoped to run out the clock. He lost by only 20k votes, so maybe he was right.
I couldn’t help but notice Trump never entered Alabama to campaign for him. Wonder why?
As flawed as Moore was, and I'm not disputing that, he was taken out by a coordinated political hit, and got zero help from the GOP. Zero. They all drew back like cowards, and left him to die. It's likely some in the establishment helped with the hit.
The Alabama voters did the same thing. They allowed a baby killing, hate filled leftist to make up a big lie, and they believed it. They stayed home without researching it in any way. They just let the hit work, and it's to their shame they stayed home and let this monstrous leftist in the Senate to represent them, rather than a poor candidate who would have represented them quite well.
Jesus didn't stop by saying we were supposed to be innocent as doves. There is a second part to that, and Alabama evangelicals forgot it, as so many others do.
Moore doesn't lose without that political hit, and we all should see that.
It's the evil we are up against, and we too often forget that, even here on FR.
