WaPo: Alabama's desire not to be embarrassed may be the best thing going for Doug Jones
Washington Post ^ | December 11, 2017 | James Hohmann

THE BIG IDEA: There is a stark class divide in the Alabama Senate race. It's larger than the gender gap, and it crosses party lines.

White-collar folks who graduated from college are significantly more likely to defect from GOP candidate Roy Moore than blue-collar, non-college-educated people. The country club set cares far more about their state's reputation and the effect it has on the business climate.

So, only stupid people vote for Moore? Ain't that a kick in the pants?

This is yet another gift from the left that Moore won’t have the money to buy. It has to be worth another 1/4 point for Moore.

OK, so the message is?? If you vote for Moore you are stupid? If you have a college education you should vote for Jones? MEDIA CONTROL, you must do what they demand.

The Alabamians that I know just LOVE being told by Yankees how they’re too stupid to know what’s good for them...

Yes, because we all know anyone who votes for anyone the left doesn’t like should be embarrassed.

Of course, it’s not suspicious at ALL that a bunch of women surface at the same time a month before a major election with 40 year old accusations that are all but impossible to refute. Never mind they tried the same crap with Trump (remember all of those women who tearfully came forward claiming he acted inappropriately to them on airplanes?). Never mind that nothing’s been proven and Moore has denied the accusations - the accusations ALONE should keep him from taking the job, because we all know the left are the guardians of our moral values (snort).

"....I doubt...."?

I guarantee you Alabaman's don't give a rat's ass about what some columnist in the Washington comPost says about them.

Just another example of why the DC swamp bubble folks didn't see the Trump election coming. They think everyone in the country thinks like they do.

So what they’re saying here is that the “college-educated” are more likely to fall for a media fake news character assassination job. Sounds about right. After all, that’s the purpose of college education these days.

So that’s why all the attacks on the voters of Alabama have caused Doug Jones recent surge in polling!

Don’t count on it. Alabama people don’t give a damn what a bunch of degenerates (like the Washington Post morons) think.

Alabama will not vote for a guy who is as far-left on the issues as Doug Jones in any case.

What the elitists fail to understand is that Alabamans won't be embarrassed at all. They'll be proud to have elected a God-fearing, principled man who pays righteous tribute to sanity.

And it's not as though those elitist leftists (but I repeat myself) don't have anything to be embarrassed about. That is, if they had any sense of shame, which of course they don't.

If those degenerates at the Washington Post were capable of embarrassment, they would never show their faces again!

If you don’t give a tinker’s damn about the hypocrites judging you how can you be embarrassed.
