Without Jones & Shelby, AL set to have the worst representation of all the states. Glad I got outta there! They deserve Moo Brooks & Ray Moore that’s for sure. Glad they’re set to be losing an electoral vote too lma0

New census numbers show it's not a sure thing.

What happened?

New York has suffered some large population loss and could lose two seats rather than just one.

The problem I have with that analogy is that kamikazes did succeed in wreaking havoc on the U.S. Navy.  It wasn't just a suicide mission that resulted in the plane being shot down harmlessly over open water.  They did real damage to their targets.  So how does that translate to the political sphere?  


Kamikazes were not that effective to be honest. Barely 1/5 of the Kamikazes even hit a ship.

They still sank 34 ships, damaged 368 others, and caused nearly 8,000 casualties, according to the U.S. Air Force.


The numbers are subject to debate but it's generally estimated that Kamikazes killed between 4k and 7k Americans sailors, the Japanese on the other hand lost between 4k and 14k men.

I think it’s hilarious Sewell’s chances are discussed like a failed war strategy here. What if she goes up against Moore or another turd-tier candidate? Her chances are going to be better than Jones without having Trump on the ballot. Safe R with the slight possibility of being Likely R imo

Sure, because we all know that Alabama is a dem leaning state when Trump is not on the ballot.

You should take a look at how the (relatively) serious 2018 dem gubernatorial candidate fared. Sewell is a liberal democrat without any appeal outside of black voters and she would lose by +25 points in what will likely be a red leaning year anyway.

As for Moore, the dude got 7% in the primary in 2020 I think you can rule him out.

I'm really wondering what Trump will do about this race, will he stay neutral ? will he endorse ?
