:So I’m left wondering why we weren’t seeing an election between Mo Brooks and Jones? “
Because the people who really CARE show up for the primaries in off-year elections.
The people who supported Moore were die-hard believers. It’s kind of the same on the left- the ‘extreme’ candidates, the one with strong principles and outspoken ways, attract the kind of people who go to the polls for primaries in an off-year election, who are True Believers. Always been that way.
Excellent point. Most people are motivated to vote in Presidential elections, off years, not so much. That’s when the fringe candidates have the best shot.
