Frankly, I think Brooks loses. When he has to resort to bragging about voting for Roy Moore...

Gee, when else have we seen a candidate enter as a presumed huge frontrunner but blow it through a horrible campaign?

Yikes!

Interesting.

Sounds like they want to move on.

If true, this is not surprising. Britt clearly has the support of the Republican establishment, has raised a considerable amount of money, and isn't taking things for granted. Moreover, she is telegenic and far more personable than Brooks, and her relative youth also works in her favor. Trump himself likes to be linked to "winners" and he is apparently getting increasingly unsatisfied about Brooks.

As much as you'd like to believe otherwise, Brooks is not looking like a winner.

Cope and seethe. Domestic terrorist sympathizers have no place in the Senate.

He's starting to campaign more, replaced his staff and is getting on the right path. He's going to win, rumors that Trump regrets the endorsement are fake and started by Lindsey Graham to gaslight the Don.

Britt raises over 3 times as much as Brooks in Quarter 4

Britt seems to be gaining the upper hand over Brooks.

Not having Mo Brooks in the Senate is a net positive, regardless of how terrible the inevitable winner will be.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

Britt seems to be losing momentum and Durant is gaining her momentum.
Brooks is very likely to make the runoff no matter what (I don't see any of the major 3 candidates dropping out), so it's probably going to be a Durant vs Brooks runoff, I'm not sure if that would benefit Brooks more though.

[I’m not Stu]

Brooks will be the nominee.

[Coldstream]

I think the fact that “Not Mo Brooks” is getting 60-70% in the polls between Durant & Britt suggests that he’s gonna lose the run off to one of them. It’d be rare for a high profile divisive candidate like Brooks to do much better in the run off. Could be wrong, but I expected him to walk it like Walker is in Georgia - the fact he isn’t, and the fact he’s a proven statewide loser, makes me think Alabama just isn’t that in to him.

[Del Tachi]

Brooks as the prohibitive frontrunner was always motivated wishcasting by D.C. types in support of their preferred narrative that GOP primary voters are literally insane, lol.  Britt will win.

At this point, I honestly wonder how likely it is that Brooks doesn't even make the runoff. Also from what I've heard, the fact that he's from Huntsville works against him in a statewide primary for whatever reason.

It does seem unlikely that undecideds are going to break for the most well known candidate (Brooks).

After what happened to Strange and Sessions, especially Sessions, it's hard not to blame 'em.

Strange was the Trump-endorsed candidate, so I don't know why Trump's pseudo-endorsement of Brooks is supposed to mean he can't lose here.

So much for the rumors Trump would drop Brooks I guess. Seems he's doubling down.

[Forum explorer]

If I lived in Alabama, I would hold my nose for Britt in the primary.

Dems are too incompetent to win here. It literally takes a theocrat accused of sexual assault in an off year to squeak by.

No, they lose in AL routinely because AL is an inherently ultra-red state that only does go Democratic if the Republican nominee is as scandal-plagued as Moore.

If incompetence is what you're looking for, try the FL Democrats, who somehow manage to blow the most winnable of races.

It's not considered part of the "Real Alabama"....southern AL thinks we're basically Tennessee.

Trump unendorses Brooks because back in August he said Republicans need to move on from 2020 apparently?

Clearly that's not the reason. Trump is scared Mo will lose and wants to switch his bets to stop himself from being embarrassed.

Mo is the only one to say the election was stolen out of all the candidates, he is the only one to oppose McConnell and was one of Trump's top allies in the House. Britt and Durant are not Trump-aligned at all. This is because of the polls showing Brooks losing.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Cucked.
