I would prefer Brooks or Moore to Strange. I’d love to see a Brooks-Moore runoff, with the winner helping the loser oust Senator Shelby.

Nice try, Reuter’s, trying to get the weakest candidate, Strange, to win in order that the Democrat candidate has a better chance in Nov.

Low turnout could be good for Moore and Brooks.

Hasn’t every special election since Nov 2016 been a referendum on Trump?

This is a referendum on Mitch McConnell, not the president.

I just love how the radical leftwing media is trying to turn the Alabama Republican Senate primary into a referendum on Trump. Hey, Reuters, guest what? If I lived in Alabama, I would either vote for Mo Brooks or Roy Moore. And then I would STILL 100% back President Donald Trump! So UP YOURS, Reuters, you despicable POSes!!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
So Reuters will grow a woodie if Strange loses and tell themselves that Alabama is now in play? Ha ha ha schmucks you are embarrassing yourself and all schmuckkind.

No matter how it turns out Trump is the loser.

Kind of like Georgia 6, right, Reuters?

Most Trump supporters think for themselves. For example I support Trump and I don’t either Moore or Brooks.

21 I would prefer Brooks or Moore to Strange. I’d love to see a Brooks-Moore runoff, with the winner helping the loser oust Senator Shelby. Ditto. I filled in the oval this a.m. for Mo.

Perhaps the Alabama voters love President Trump so much that they will give him what he needs (Moore or Brooks) not what he wants.

In view that the puppetmaster must have known this election would be key, he even-handedly paid the “white nationalists”, the anitfa, and apparently the governments of Charlottesville and Virginia to foment a race riot over the weekend.

I have my fingers crossed that L. Strange will be eliminated from the run off. Sorry, Donald.

Estimated 10% of registered electorate turn out. Way down from the projected 25% rate. 90% of precincts reporting ...
GOP special election will be a run-off between Roy Moore (~39% approval) and incumbent Luther Strane (~31%). Mo Brooks finished 3rd with ~20% and is out of the running.
Former USDA Doug Jones easily won the 8-horse Democrat primary with ~64%.
Many think Jones will mount a strong and credible challenge to the eventual Republican candidate.
All I can think about right now is the "William F. Buckley Jr. Rule" - vote for the most conservative candidate who can win.
