Alabama Megathread 2: Thou Shall Not Touch Teenage Girls

[Hindsight was 2020]

If 'Bama still elects him they need to be kicked out of the country

[Hindsight was 2020]

Someone is making fake robocalls in Alabama claiming to be a WaPo reporter seeking damaging info on Moore for money.  Details here

Named "Bernie Bernstein," just a little too on the nose I think

Jooooooooooooooooossssssssss

[Hindsight was 2020]

Icespear is annoying but if Moore still wins after all of this then is he really wrong?

Moore didn't think this none through

[Hindsight was 2020]

Is there a good explanation why Moore's campaign isn't on the air? Did he run ads in his past campaigns for judge or rely on free media? That seems like gross incompetence.

He doesn't raise his own money he relied on the RNC for money and with pulling out he is being outspent 11 to 1 by Jones who's benefiting from #resistance monster fundraising we have been seeing since Ossoff

Hey Arkansas complaining about being called a Russian troll and then using whataboutism doesn't help convince anyone

[Hindsight was 2020]

Boy did news seem to die down here lately

[Hindsight was 2020]

Despite the lack of polling their is definitely a feel this has swung back to Moore.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Also if Moore does win can some of the more harden leftist let up on the dems a bit and acknowledge there are parts of "real America" with really f**ked up tribalism voting patterns

As Bill Maher would say Doug is going for the throat

[Hindsight was 2020]

Doug Jones is soft on crime? Okay let's cut the bs, "tough on crime" is Trump just dog whistling about letting cops beat up brown people

With respect to this article from the Washington Post, I find this fear of depressed black turnout to be greatly exaggerated.

Jones is well known for his prosecutorial career, specifically when it came to prosecuting several church bombers. Jones has hammered this home, and he's done an excellent job of articulating his public service to voters. On top of that, Jones is flush with cash and will no doubt invest heavily in GOTV (souls to the polls especially).

There's absolutely no reason to worry about turnout at this point. This is a high profile senate race that's garnered plenty of outside attention. I doubt we'll see depressed black and minority turnout.

They had the same article about Northam and look how that went

[Hindsight was 2020]

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"

JMC will show Doug's lead widen.

An you base that on?

Roy really done goofed, spent the remainder of his advertising money for O Keefs failed stunt:

Is that a joke or did he legit do that?!

[Hindsight was 2020]

An if Moore does win as someone pointed out days ago can we stop with"both sides"? Massachusetts voted for a rep because Martha ran a lazy campaign the fact that "muh party line" is stronger than pedophilea speaks about conservative America and it's values

Guys Icespear was right Alabama is going to confirm it's worst stereotypes people have of it

Jimmy Kimmel just owned Moore on Twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/jimmykimmel/status/936323360694222848

Hardly shocking to anyone but still significant imo...

Wow the right really has no low it will refuse to sink too

[Hindsight was 2020]

Trump endorsed Roy Moore.

@realDonaldTrump
Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!

@realDonaldTrump
Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...& so much more. Look at your 401-k’s since Election. Highest Stock Market EVER! Jobs are roaring back!

Moore being an alleged pedophile may not cost him the race in Alabama, without a doubt, however, this will seriously harm the image of the Republican Party as a whole moving forward. Trump must have accepted the reality of a massive midterm loss if he is going out of his way to endorse this creep, as this sort of thing will most certainly turn away lean-Rs.

It has more to do with the fact he is an Internet comment section troll who treats politics like a sport

[Hindsight was 2020]

Dean Young in on CNN and he is just disgusting

[Hindsight was 2020]

This feels pointless to say but can this event kill once and for all the talking point " both sides are to blame for this political climate". The GOP and RW America have gone f**king insane and their list for power knows no shame. The left has its issues but the right is single handily drove this countries image abroad into the ground and is the source of why politics is so toxic right now
