Alabama Megathread 4: A New Hope

[Sir Mohamed]

I am deeply relieved even AL has rejected the pedophile dude and with him the orange clown. This gives me hope, that 2018 can be a wave. Democrats should now just not get ahead of themselves. We must fight everyday by setting the right topics and selecting the right candidates.

[Sir Mohamed]

So, Roy Moore is still refusing to concede?

As far as I know, most states only allow a recount if the election is within a half percentage point, what is not the case here.

[Sir Mohamed]

LOL... Trump now says he originally supported Strange because "knew that Moore would lose". I guess that's the reason he deleted the pro-Strange Tweets.

Roy Moore: the American François Fillon?

Both are conservatives on the hard-right of their parties who defeated overwhelming frontrunners for their parties' nominations only to be caught by scandal and, despite absolute loyalty from many base voters, end up losing to essentially generic centrist candidates.

Was Strange ever an overwhelming favorite for the primary? I'd put that into question. Fillon is also not a pedophile.

Jones is no centrist, and Moore's rhetoric is closer to Le Pen. Jones is more comparable to Hamon or even Melenchon than Macron.

I'd agree with this. Jones, on the issues, is closer to McCaskill than Manchin.

I would even say Tom Carper is more moderate/conservative than Jones, given some of Jones' campaigning.

Same with Joe Donnelly.
