MORE ROY

[CrimsonCowboy]

So far, 22,000 write-in votes. Unreal

No word on how many Nick Saban and Gus Malzhan got apiece

Trump endorsed a pedophile and didn't even get a win. L O L

Roy Moore going to vote today riding a horse didn’t make him look any better.

Just wow

Trump is shockingly magnanimous tonight.

Interesting that turnout was double what was expected.

Interesting, but not surprising. I think the "we have a Jew" and "MAGA equals 1850" junk played big at the end (which, as we've agreed, were far more concerning aspects of Moore's outlook than the "dating adolescents" story).

 

[Jaw]

Would a deep blue state do what Alabama did tonight given the same circumstances? Something to think about. A lot of folks on the left dismiss the conservative south as simpleton moral hypocrites. I hope this helps lead to a renewed respect from those on the left in regards to southern conservatives and I hope they're more willing to consider our arguments and consider maybe that southern conservatives take morality more serious than was thought? Trump might have a rough time winning Bama next election if the left respects the conservative south.

Moore was legitimately a weird guy.

Dems always spend more money.

Not true, but w/e. We see the world as we want to not want to.

What recent high profile race has seen more Republican dollars spent?

Hehe

Yeah, that made me squirm hearing that. Moore shot himself in the foot over the last several weeks.

Hehe

That's my feeling as well, and while this is a modern day cliche, I think it's why Trump won.

African Americans came out to vote and voiced their opinion. America is a beautiful country. Embrace it.

No way entitlement reform happens in 2018. That saddens me.

Will heighten the absurd contradictions of the tax bill when corporations and the rich get a tax break and they can't steal from redistribution to pay for it.

Great great point.

To be fair to the hypothetical blue state, the voters wouldn't have been likely to hear so much dirt on a D candidate.

If the economy keeps in its direction there are going to be a lot less people that need entitlements. Going to be easier to manage but losing this vote hurt.

I genuinely cant recall anyone making such a public spectacle of themselves. 1850s? Riding a dang horse? If the polling station had a back porch he probably would have peed off it while alternating between rebel yells and screaming Roll damn Tide!
