So in a way this whole thing was a big moral victory for you guys.
Dems are taking encouragement from AL, but many rightwing whites didn't vote (won't happen elsewhere) rather than vote for a pedophile or a KKK-prosecuting / pro-abortion Dem, and extremely high turnout by blacks (women), won't happen elsewhere. An anomalous election with little or no general lesson.
The point is the far rightwing/breitbart re s are pushing a lot of unelectable candidates who can win primaries but not generals so its extraordinarily representative.
As long as we don't nominate too many far left re s who want like $52,000 minimum wages we should be alright
McConnell has probably told Moore not to cede and AL Repugs to kill time with recounts, so McConnell has an excuse for not seating Jones until after the tax cut vote.On huff
"Roy Moore still hasn’t admitted that he lost the election last week
Which maybe tells you a little something about his other denials"

Hey, they've proven not just that they can nominate a child molester but also that they can not vote for him in the end when it really counts. Valuable lesson to us all here
Indeed, it was a teaching moment all along. We should not have been so quick to judge their nomination and enthusiasm for a disgraced and bigoted molester, because in the end it was just a setup for him to lose by a percentage point thanks to black women.
today's child molester
No.

The Democrat would have dropped out, allowing someone untainted to run. You are right in that regard. The Republican would get slaughtered, because Democrats still take the high road more often than Republicans.

How Long Does It Take a Southern White Democrat Elected by Black Voters to Shift to the Right?
Less Than a Week.
many voters in Alabama who helped carry Doug Jones to a historic election victory have expressed frustration over recent comments from the senator-elect regarding both President Donald Trump’s alleged history of sexual harassment and the GOP tax bill.
allegations regarding sexual assault and harassment because the allegations “were made before the election, and so people had an opportunity to judge before that election.”
we did expect him to demonstrate some sense of accountability to those who elected him and not so quickly align his political message with those who have caused great, severe harm to the communities we serve. Amazingly, Jones is shifting to the right in less than a week!
his thoughts on pursuing the sexual allegations against Trump, Doug Jones essentially stated that he believes “we should just move on.”
he obviously lacks integrity and any sense of accountability to his base, and clearly doesn’t understand that just because someone is elected, their history of misogynistic or predatory behavior isn’t simply erased.
I believe the other severe damage of Jones’ apparent pivot to the right is the devastating and traumatic impact on the psyche and spirits of Black people who went beyond the call of duty to over-perform in the last election cycle in Alabama.

Moore is the only Repug that would have lost to Jones.
Yeah, there were waaaayyyyyy more black people than you were anticipating when you threw your support behind a pedophile.
Gillespie not a Trumper
