I don’t like Strange, I wanted Brooks over the both of them.
But to pretend he would have lost when the worst candidate imaginable nearly won, is silly. The sketchiness of his appointment is NOTHING compared to what happened with Moore, absolutely nothing.
Rich suburbanites voted against Moore cause of the sex garbage. They would have voted for Strange.
Blacks turned out in high numbers because of Moore’s unnecessary antagonistic comments. He still would won despite the sex allegations if he could have only kept his foot out of his mouth! Strange would not have inflamed them. He was elected state AG with 58% of the vote. Moore just skated by in his Supreme Court races.
Suburbanites are increasingly Democrat voters.
Had it been Strange instead of Moore, the corrupt Jones would have found another way to stoke racial animosity to get them out to vote. Trust me, he would have made Strange look like a KKK member by now — and like the recipient of a bribe as well. And the same Washington Post reporters would have been down there helping Jones collect or create dirt on him.
