If you thought the Alabama special Senate election couldn’t get any stranger, you were wrong. The race has been upended by a remarkably boneheaded move on the part of Democrat Doug Jones’s campaign. The Jones campaign is being accused of racism:
[Jones is] now embroiled an upsetting controversy of his own: Black voters across Alabama are calling out a campaign flyer with extremely racist underpinnings.
The Doug Jones for Senate Committee ad, which has gone viral on Twitter and was previously reported on by the Root, shows a picture of a Black man staring at the reader. Above reads, “Think if a black man went after high school girls. Anyone would try to make him a senator?”
This obviously was an attempt by the Jones campaign to play the race card, but it seems to have backfired.
As Michael Harriot explains for the Root, the committee’s flyer relies on an “oversimplifciation of the black mind as only caring about black issues.”
“Part of the reason the Democratic Party has been marginalized as a party that only exists on the coasts and in urban areas is whitemannery like this,” he explains. “The Democratic Party is trash. It is the reason Hillary Clinton lost. It is the reason Donald Trump is president.”
As Steve likes to say, get out the popcorn. The best thing about the Alabama Senate race is that it will be over in five days.

I forgot to thank God for the electoral college today. Thank you, God, for the electoral college.
Being a lunatic is the “new normal”.
Now that’s funny
THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE RACIST THAT THEY ACCUSE THE REPUBLICANS OF BEING!
There are a couple of things you are forgetting.
First, The more DACA immigrants and young voters who effect the electorate, there’s more liberal white voters who decide to vote Republican.
Secondly, once people get a real taste of “socialism”, they don’t like it. They run away.
So the permanent minority status of the Republican Party is a lot farther away than you think.
Thank God for the reprieve he gave the nation in 2016. But sadly the nation is not turning back to Him. Atheism and Socialism continue their rapid ascent in America. The LGTB agenda is the fastest growing religion in America.
2020 we will go all out for Socialism. Just wait and see.
BINGO!
Your opinion.
The reality is that is that it is now a communist/socialist party.
IMHO, my posting is correct.
The Democrat Thug Party is NOT a “Democratic Party”
Good glad to hear it is already backfiring on him. But this trick DID seem to work in Virginia. What’s the difference?
And liberalism itself is alive and strong. Considering that we found out that we have 98 liberals in the US Senate.
