Yea, but he will think that he is!

The Left is going to take this a refutation of Trump.

Then why did Trump win by 27% a year ago?

Sessions should have remained Senator.

An legislative advisor. An attorney is supposed to be tough, brash (Christie, Giuliani, Safir, etc.)

Sessions is too Southern nice.

Lot’s of people in Alabama are going to be waking up with a bad case of buyers remorse.

Jeff Sessions - with an assist from Bannon - might very well have just ended the Trump agenda. Tax reform will be the last Trump item passed by the Senate. The Senate is now effectively in Swamp-Democrat hands. They will begin their reign of terror tomorrow.

The borders will remain open and there will be amnesty if Trump wants anything. Judges...hah! The next Supreme Court Justice is another Sodomayor or they’ll never be confirmed. Democrats are not Republicans, they will brutalize the opposition in the Senate, though with McCain and Flake there, they won’t have to.

And a suggestion to Republicans: you’d better run nothing but women from now on or you are dead meat. No male Republican has a snowflake’s chance in Hell after this.

Who has the most liberal Senators...Arizona or Alabama?

The solid south is no longer under the right circumstance

A liberal potus candidate under the right circumstance could win Alabama too

If that can happen it can anywhere

It cannot be overemphasized how big a loss this is in the culture war

Trumps agenda is dead in the water from her on

The crucible of liberal women and their right to kill their babies

Continues unfettered

A SCOTUS nominee who could overturn Roe v Wade is impossible now

This is monumental unless we get a fortuitous break

Like replacing McCain and Flake with better when time comes

Bredesen may win in TN too

Alabama falls....whew

Win win for GOPe and Dems
My apologies to all reassured by me this couldn’t happen

Roy Moore ran for Governor TWICE in AL & lost!!!

That should've been the warning sign for Republicans to stay away from Moore!

I agree, but the Dems had a lot of help from the turncoats in the Republican ranks.

We’ll see how it goes. I’m not a happy camper right now either.

Trump spent his last day before his election at 6 campaign stops PLUS one more early Tuesday AM in Michigan. Roy Moore spent the final weekend before the Alabama election attending the Army-Navy game in Philly.

Face it. Moore was a LOUSY candidate.

2018 will be a bloodbath if Bannon selects our candidates.


Hopefully, Flake will reconsider his decision to retire. With rock ribbed conservatives like him, Shelby (campaigned for Jones) and Corker in the Senate I have no doubt we will MAGA.

The gutless pukes who stayed home allowed that maggot Jones to win.

Saw on another board a post from a supposed GOP voter in AL who could not bring himself to vote for Moore, and he also had other GOP friends that chose to stay home. So yes, it looks like the smear campaign against Moore worked since it suppressed the GOP turnout.

This is good for 2018. Trump is obstructed.

Obamacare remains unless voters get motivated.

Deadlock favors Trump in 2018.

Trump won Alabama by 26 points so unless something happened in the past year I doubt its gone more “Progressive”

Exactly. This was a full out assault on conservatives. Even had REPUBLICANS like Flake publicly admitting to giving money to Jones, the RNC pulling support for Moore publicly.

A disgrace they do NOT want Trump and his agenda to succeed. They want to keep that America as the global enterprise chugging along while stuffing their pockets from the cheap labor express the international corporations want them to support.

I hope McConnell has a heart attack and dies tonight.

Umm... that wouldn't bother me.

However, I think McConnell is happily celebrating tonight.

Peter Doocey (sp?) on Fox News is saying a BIG FINGER is pointing at Mitch McConnell tonight.

Maybe AL is just “pro-life” on paper but really not at all bothered by abortion, as is the case in so many states.
