Roy Moore’s loss does not signal a ‘Democratic wave’

I don't know why the author believes this. I can see a scenario where Democrats win many elections even in heavily Republican areas through the exact same process that we saw in Alabama: Democrat misfits turn out heavily, and Republicans stay home. This is clearly a possibility as the Republican Party continues to fail miserably at accomplishing any of the things they promised to do when voters put them in office. The epic ObamaCare failure this year has been symptomatic of everything that is wrong with the GOP in Washington ... and it will ultimately lead to their demise if they don't get their asses in gear.

>>Contrary to what the Washington Post claims, there is no “Democratic wave.”

The author is wrong. The Democrats control the UniParty and Moore’s loss was the UniParty beginning unrestricted warfare against us and Trump. They have weaponized sexual harassment claims and will deploy that endlessly in 2018. Jones didn’t win because of Jones. He won because of this new sexual history weapon.

Roy Moore was defeated by a smear campaign.

He fell to the well timed barrage of unproven allegations of sexual misconduct coordinated by democrats.

So, in this election democrats learned how to engineer and weaponize what Hillary Clinton would call “Bimbo Eruptions”.

You can bet that in the run-up to the 2018 election they will be using this sleazy but successful smear technique again and again.

The Black Democrat turnout was expected to be 25% at most. But apparently it was 30%.

Turnout in a special election has zero to do with the issues and candidates and 100% to do with an effective GOTV.

In NJ, VA and now AL, the Democrats have corrected the GOTV mistakes they made with Ossoff in GA, and with Clinton last year. Democrats have always had people who understood GOTV. Clinton and Ossoff ignored them. Now they are not being ignored.

Republicans and Conservatives need to fight for those less motivated voters who vote based on people on the ground who motivate them to the polls and not by issues and ideology. If we don’t, we will all end up like the Ted Cruz campaign.

Ted Cruz campaign claimed they would have a great ground game. But the campaign manager and staff were clueless how to run a ground game.

Trump benefitted from the activists who were ignored by the Cruz campaign. The most telling single day was the Red State convention in GA when Cruz had the overwhelming support of conservatives and ignored them.

The largest percentage of the vote Roy Moore ever won in a general election was 54.6% -- and that was his first, before he became well known.

When he ran for the Alabama Supreme Court in 2012, he won with 51.8% of the vote. Last Tuesday he lost with 48.4%, a difference of 3.4%.

New Yorker Donald Trump won the state with 62.1%, which is 7.5% better than Moore's best showing ever.

Doug Jones would be best advised to rent a place in Washington, not buy.

The only “wave” here is the wave of republican stupidity. Repeatedly running candidates like Gillespie and Moore is their own fault. McConnell tossed Mo Brooks aside in favor of his yes man Luther Strange. Brooks is popular and would have won the general in a landslide. His prostate cancer issues appear treatable. McConnell is to blame.

Don't for one second think that Judy Roy Moore lost that election !
Can't you see DemocRAT generated FAKE VOTES right in front of you ?

The information in the article Vote Fraud of Alabama from TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2017, deserves saving.

According to official tallies, Roy Moore received 953 votes in the small town. Doug Jones received 5,327. If the disparity in numbers isn’t enough to give you reason to smell something fishy, the population of the town should. There are 2,256 residents there and only 1,867 registered voters. In other words, more people voted for Doug Jones than even live in Bordalama.
