We lost in Alabama. The left is fired up.


Moore lost in Alabama—not us. Whether or not the allegations against him were true, he was a classically flawed candidate. We lost a Senate seat in Missouri for the same reason. The write-in votes for other Republicans were the margin of victory for the Democrat. Virtually any other Republican would have won the seat easily. I don’t think the loss points to a trend.

Although I wouldn’t go so far as to say that having a flawed candidate gives license to the opponent’s side to register out of state voters or to use other means of cheating.

That is certainly one way to look at it and I agree with you to some degree but people would be foolish to simply explain it away as an anomaly.

The Democrats lost election after election once Obama was elected and the same can happen to Trump if people assume it’s in the bag.
