Alabama Megathread 2: Thou Shall Not Touch Teenage Girls

[RFK Jr.’s Brain Worm]

I'm bored. When does this election actually happen?

Right? At this point it feels less like an imminent vote and more like the electoral equivalent of Godot.

Second half of the next decade.

Seriously though, it's Dec 12, just a bit over 2 weeks away.

Just an interesting take I saw earlier:

Paul Kane‏ @pkcapitol
Moore might survive amid allegations of other lawmakers. But it's possible he loses convincingly & liberal elites never saw it coming because we assumed the worst about the South

On the one hand the polling right now and other nerd factors like the NSCR cutting Moore off, and Jones dominating the airwaves 11 to 1, point to Jones winning but on the ground Moore seems to of stop the bleeding through a combination of "it's lies/Jones supports abortion/he'll be kicked out anyways"

How rich for a criminal such as Trump, to say Doug Jones is weak on crime. I guess prosecuting Ku Klux Klan members who killed black children does not count because of who the victims are. This man is a literal piece of sh**t.

You think Trump cares who tf Doug Jones is? Someone just told him he was a Democrat and he brought out the usual "wants higher taxes", "weak on crime" stuff he always resorts to when it comes to Democrats.

I know he doesn't. I'm just reiterating what a shallow, ignorant doofus he is.

Ah I see. Very sorry if I sounded controversial.

You think he would just read a damn Wikipedia page or something. I mean, he's not doing anything else

Oh, but he is appointing great folks to the courts.

He is cutting regulations that been strangling the economy.

Below is a statement why I am glad Hillary is not in the White House.  Some doofus! NOT!!!

FWIW (basically nothing!), my friend went home to Alabama for Thanksgiving and said she basically only saw Doug Jones signs in every neighborhood she drove through, including very Republican suburbs.

Senator Gillespie (now governor elect) agrees.

You forgot President Romney and Rep. Ossoff.

Btw, while Atlas wasn't looking, Moore has been creeping up and up on PredictIt every day. There's a reason why people with money on the line are betting on Moore. If you all would've taken my advice to max out on him weeks ago, you would've made a pretty penny.

The betting markets said Clinton and Remain would win. The energy and momentum on the ground is with Jones, that will deliver him the Senate seat.

This is the only race to watch at the moment, yet there has been no decent polling for over a week...why?

Thanksgiving.

We saw with Trump that major allegations / missteps hurt him for like a week and then Republicans privately forgave him and rallied around his candidacy again. With Moore, there's a risk that when the allegations go out of the news for several days, Republicans let them slip out of their minds as well and start to rationalize supporting him again.

Jones has to go hard in attacking Moore on this.

Appointing a person to a lifetime judgeship when they have never tried a case is something a doofus would do.

Disliking Hillary does not absolve Trump from being the incompetent jackass that he is.

Really no point in paying much attention to this race until the end of the week. But that would be for the likes of us to break the habit of a lifetime...

Hopefully insider info, but more likely just his feelings.

I'm starting to think this mythical "energy" is actually a curse, considering it was possessed by Romney, Ossoff, Kander, Bernie, etc. etc.

Regardless, you could've bought tons of Moore shares in the 30s and sold them now in the upper 60s for a nice profit. Or wait until he inevitably hits the 70s/80s for even Moore profit.

Trump didn't win with a spectacular ground game now, did he? Energy and Momentum!

He did win Alabama by 28 points though.
