It all came down to turnout.
Here's the results form the Pres Election, Nov 20126:
And the Dec 2017 Special Senate Race:
As you can see, the Trump voters NEVER came out.
Hell, less democrat votes for Doug Jones than Hillary.
The reason so many Alabama Republicans didn't come out to vote was the smear campaign against Moore about the underage or very young women crap.
This had a profound effect on evangelical voters.
They wouldn't say out loud, at least, that the charges disturbed them. But they did, and by not voting, they washed their hands of Roy Moore.
What I find most profound, that leaves me angry to this day?
The Roy Moore accusers all disappeared the day after the election. Not only was the lawsuits stopped, but any story again about them in the media.
Clearly, the driveby's won. Just like with Herman Cain, but not Donald Trump, who is--IMHO--protected by Heavenly Forces.
I think it’s gonna happen. You can only fool people for so long and the dems are out of money. So how will they buy votes. All that is left is massive voter fraud and we need to be watchful for that.
Many of the Iranian people have little in common with the mullahs and for all practical purposes are being held captive.
Zero had a chance in his administration and totally ignored it. If the same chance comes along for Trump he will act.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
--George Orwell
He should “keep visiting” and keep far away from govt.
Our dichotomy was that the 150 billion "was their money" that had been sequestered since they were and are the worst fomentors of terrorism in the region. It was stupid to give them one thin dime. A better solution would have been to create an Iranian govt. in abstentia. Outside of the country that could then work to give the Iranians the freedom the need.
Sounds great but probalby harder to get done....
Agree. Just wanting to point out the reality of the “ protected class”....If we could get just term limits that would be great.
Take DiFi as an example in her 80’s... mega rich off deals her husband glammed onto and we have her pontificating as ( to me ) the New Lioness of the Senate....
You can't compare the turnout in a presidential election with an off-year Senate special election. That said, look at the votes for Jones compared to Hillary--674K to 730K. Truly amazing under the circumstances. The Dems over-performed dramatically while the Reps under-performed.
The Reps will regain the seat in 2020, but the damage has been done. Moore was a bad choice regardless of the damage done to him by the MSM. The Reps shot themselves in the foot.
It will be a heavy lift for the Iranian people to displace the Mullahs. It has been almost 40 years since the Revolution. More than half the population has never known anything but the current regime. The most encouraging sign is the attitude of the young. Iran has been hemorrhaging young people, but even those who have stayed behind, want a more secular society. Trump sent a strong message to the Iranian people. I can assure you that it was received loud and clear.
The media won that round with the accusers.
The Republican turnout in non-Presidential elections here are much higher than 2017.
Here is the election results in 2014 in Alabama, where Jeff Sessions was running UNOPPOSED!
UNOPOSSED, he had more than enough to beat Doug Jones numbers.
In WWII we did whatever was necessary to win. We intentionally tried to kill as many civilians as possible during various bombing campaigns. The UK's Bomber Harris comes to mind. The winners decide what is moral and immoral. I never agreed with the Nuremberg War trials and its counterpart for the Japanese. You don't need public show trials to hold people accountable.
Hillary lost because she was a lousy, lazy candidate. And she had the MSM on her side.
>> JOHN MCCAIN IS DYING ANYWAY!! <<
Or so “they” say.
He’d better, if he isn’t...he’s in deep deep doo-doo.
You mean the one where he deliberately threw the election to Obie from Nairobi?
for sure the examples are endless.
I think there may be hope for Iran. They were ot always broke and muslim. They had lives under the shah.
And lost by 10 million votes. Yeah that’s the one. Of course, McCain believed he should have been the nominee in 2000.
I feel like waterboarding Nicole until she gets some religon.
I just had to waterboard 6 squirrels that kept eating my birdfood,they just don't get it,a lot like Nicole.
