Yes ! The “last minute” ruling was just TOOOOOO convenient !!!! BULL !!
I smell a “FRAUD” in the wood pile !!!!
RECOUNT !!!!!
Republicans cannot simply win, they must win by exceeding the Democrat margin of fraud.
DON’T BLAME THE DEMS.
They did THEIR job.
The maggot GOP voters in Alabama didn’t do THEIRS. If they DID, Moore would have won. It was THAT close.
The new normal for elections in the U.S...
DEMOCRATS now excel in “getting out the vote” via absentee ballots. THAT is the reason OBAMA, chief Community Organizer, made the scene in ALABAMA.
People want candidates that they can get behind and vote FOR... thats why Trump won in places he shouldnt have...
Crazy Roy couldnt even get reg folk to vote for him...
hell he should have been MILES ahead of any lib in that race... that should tell you just how crazy he really was to the people of Alabama...
They didn’t like the product.
That is the bottom line.
And the recent games being played by the GOP left a bad taste in many peoples mouths.
Good luck in 2018.
Obviously not to the ones who voted for him in the Primary.
They lost all post elections except this one that they barely won. Which is questionable with the first Alabama electronic ballots that have been deleted after counted.
It happened in Virginia last month. Gillespie got more votes than other republicans in prior years and yet he lost. Had this been a ‘normal’ year, he would have won.
The dems - the pinkies, indivisibles and resisters - are angry and motivated. They have OFA networks in place. The R’s need to get their act together. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.
What percentage are alive?
I wonder how many “Dreamers” voted Demo-rat?
Well yesterday proves you wrong.... Trump won Bama by miles... Crazy Roy? not so much...
Horrible get out the vote effort. Didn’t they realize he could lose?
Why didn’t Trump campaign in Northern Alabama and Mobile?
Why didn’t Moore?
[It happened in Virginia last month.]
It is happening in local elections all over the country. The GOPe, which has a stranglehold on Precincts, sit on their butts during elections and their inaction is now letting the opposition win.
Congratulations, Mitch McConnell! The rubes believed your dishonest smear campaign; you got your Swampocrat elected!!! Good show, old boy!
My point is, Trump won because he got people to vote FOR him over Hitlary... people who probably hadnt voted R in a LONG time...esp in the Rust belt...
