Alabama Megathread 2: Thou Shall Not Touch Teenage Girls

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Jones was supposed to Washington (I think) last night for a fundraiser with Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and alike... but it was canceled.

In my opinion, the Jones campaign is handling this Moore disgrace pretty good.

Jones is really doing the best he can to win this.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

I think IceSpear wants Moore to win for whatever bizarre reason.

I wanted Hillary to win Texas, but I knew she wouldn't.

Do I really need to tell you why these situations aren't analogous

You're right. Hillary probably had a better chance at winning Texas than Jones does of beating Moore.

And I don't know if you're implying that was a fringe thought or not, but Hillary winning Texas was a constant circlejerk here in 2016, particularly during her polling bounces. I was arguing against it all the time and was called a "concern troll" for it. Sound familiar? In fact, I was probably arguing about it with some of the same people that are now arguing Jones is going to win...also, did Atlas not overwhelmingly think Ossoff and Quist were going to win too?

To be fair, both were/are below a 1% chance. It's kind of splitting hairs.

And why would I do that when I have accolades to accept in a month?

We shall see who's right here.

Based on the internal polling pre-scandal, rating change is in order, again:

AL SEN: LEAN R --> TOSS-UP

Looking forward to an exciting month as this race concludes.

Come on, this race is clearly TITANIUM R, just ask IceSpear.

Wasn't Macron like 15 when he met his wife, who is 15 years older than him and in a position of authority over him?

Just stap

I bet the NRSC poll was a push poll...that's why they just leaked the numbers to Politico and aren't providing any more details on how the questions were worded.

Why would they also say a Sessions write-in would do poorly too?

Yeah, I think this poll is legit. but it's just one data point, we'll have to wait and see what other polls show.

You should see the comments on RSBN's stream.

How about no.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

I have to say, EnglishPete is probably my least favorite poster that I've come across on Atlas thus far, and that's really saying something.

Well I looked at your registration date. You really missed the greatest hits.

I've been lurking on and off since 2014, so I've seen my fair share.

Alabama Gov: Roy Moore May Be a Child Molester, But At Least He’s Not a Democrat

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey accidentally gave away the Religious Right’s secret yesterday when she was answering questions about fellow Republican Roy Moore. She said of his accusers, “I certainly have no reason to disbelieve any of them.” She added: “There’s never an excuse for or rationale for sexual misconduct or sexual abuse.”

“I’m going to cast my ballot on December the 12th, and I do believe the nominee of the party is the one I’ll vote for,” Ivey said. “I believe in the Republican Party, what we stand for, and most important, we need to have a Republican in the United States Senate to vote on things like the Supreme Court justices, other appointments the Senate has to confirm and make major decisions. So that’s what I plan to do, vote for Republican nominee Roy Moore.”

This comment from her perfectly describes modern conservatism.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Most media endorsed Hillary too...and in Missouri, it went to Koster...

To be fair, Moore's scandals are worse than Trumps "locker room talk", and his actual policies are somehow worse than Trumps too.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Why Moore will probably win in a nutshell:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/11/20/for-some-gop-women-the-ultimate-womens-issue-right-now-is-the-gop-tax-plan/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_finance202-834am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.c8864228a672

"He might be a pedophile, but at least he'll vote to give me (and the rich) tax cuts"

Democrats need to make Roy Moore the face of the Republican Party if he wins.

I'm not so sure that would work well. almost every prominent GOP politician outside of Alabama has disavowed him.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Did something happen? No new polls? Is this just Atlas being Atlas?

Jones openly went pro-choice.

FTR, the feeling two weeks ago was that Gillespie, Orman/Kander/Ossoff was closing the gap and Northam Roberts/Blunt/Handel was "blowing it".

FTFY

And see how those turned out? Exactly.

No, all these allegations did was keep the race in single-digits, when it should've gone the way of Parker Griffifth.

And far as I can tell, Jones isn't pulling a JBE-esque campaign either.

Jones has been openly Pro-choice since before his campaign even began, so I don't see how this changes anything.

This is an excellent ad, I get the sense that Jones really knows what he's doing.

I keep thinking about this race, and everytime I think about which candidate is more likely to have engaged in intercourse outside of a proper God-witnessed marriage, all evidence points to Doug Jones. That's going to carry Chaste Roy over the top in all likelihood.

This is hilarious. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of men have had pre-marital sex, and some who went after teenage girls in his 30's almost certainly didn't wait until marriage to have sex.

About what I'd expect him to say.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Alabama SoS says he is expecting lower turnout, revising his prediction from initially as high as 25% down to 18-20%.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/alabama-election-official-sees-lower-turnout-higher-write-vote-n822726

Hopefully turnout is lower because of demoralized GOP voters, but we'll have to wait and see.

Lower turnout, higher write-ins sounds exactly like the type of situation where establishment Republicans in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile are either going to stay home or vote third candidate. Not looking good for Moore.

I hope you're right, but I'm used to Dems snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Moore winning by double digits is a real possibility again. The God Emperor of Alabama has spoken.

lmao

I don't see how IceSpear spamming the exact same comments (almost always some variation of "Moore's gonna win cause Alabama lmao") isn't trolling.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Yall going to apologize to IceSpear if Moore wins and you realize you had way too much faith in Alabamians?

I'll admit he was right, but that doesn't make him any less annoying.

I can tell you're new here. My posts about Moore's inevitability don't even hold a candle to my posts on Hillary's inevitability in the primary.

Before I created an account, I'd been lurking for 2.5 years or so... I tried not to pay attention to really annoying posters back then.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

I got bored on Amtrak home, had some wine, and let the great muse of politics bestow upon me her knowledge. She said:

Jones: 296,646: 49.69%
Moore: 281,570: 47.17%
Write-ins: 18,723: 3.14%

That turnout tho

Considering Alabaman's take what Trump says as Gosple truth,  I suppose it's time to accept Senator Moore

You're right, Senator Luther Strange is going to crush Doug Jones. Remember when Trump endorsed Strange?
