Alabama Megathread 2: Thou Shall Not Touch Teenage Girls

[Holmes]

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?

#LockHerUp

You can always go to a France and try a citizen's arrest on Macron.

[Holmes]

I don't doubt the NRSC poll at all, but there must be some motive behind it. Why else would they release an internal with their ca didate down double digits? To push Moore out? Even so, he can't be replaced on the ballot, and they also added that the results with Sessions as a write-ins are bad, so... very weird.

Maybe they do just want him to lose. They take the L and are favored in 2020.

[Holmes]

Moore's holding a press conference in Birmingham at 5pm (CST, I assume).  Any predictions?

"F you all, I'm staying in you Washington assholes"

[Holmes]

lmao Moore sent an open letter to Hannity on Twitter crying to not drip his support

[Holmes]

If you honestly think Rossi has a chance based on a special state senate election, then you must also believe Democrats have a shot at taking some Oklahoma House districts.

[Holmes]

How do you know voters in Alabama are not discontent?

So many posters here tripping over themselves making excuses because they want to believe Moore is up when all the evidence points to Jones being in the lead.

[Holmes]

Shouldn't have murdered Scalia, then.

It was worth it.

[Holmes]

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.

[Holmes]

Yeah, Ivey isn't an FF. She said she believes the women but will vote for Moore anyways because "we need the GOP to keep the majority" because, you know, they are already making a lot of good progress...

Yeah I repealed that FF so fast. Not even Richard Shelby is voting for him.

I didn't care if she got re-elected but now I'm hoping she's primaried and Sue Bell Cobb wins the general.

Walt Maddox is better

Maybe if he gets a better haircut.

[Holmes]

That smells of sore loser-ism. The election will be based on the candidates, not some stupid yearbook. Moving the date of the election because your guy sucks and is losing and blaming it on a stupid yearbook just sounds rotten and corrupt.

[Holmes]

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

It's the White House basically giving their full endorsement to Moore, and the Deep South and Appalachia and parts of the Plains are the only parts of the country where Trump is a net positive still.

Worked for Strange.

[Holmes]

Is this the one?

There's no indication that this race has moved in either direction since the last batch of polls. Anything you "feel" is just that, feelings, and are not rooted in reality.

This was known but Trump is a sick individual. He should listen to his daughter more often.

[Holmes]

Honestly Moore probably loses not on his indiscretions alone, but because he or his campaign are not making the case for him. He's not giving voters in Alabama a reason to vote for him. Jones has been doing just that for himself.

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

lmao

[Holmes]

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

Not if he keeps lying about being a top.

[Holmes]

Some people are so annoying with the "Trump endorsed Moore, muh Alabunga senator Moore"

[Holmes]

Santander, the real you is showing.

Santander, the real you is showing.

He's not wrong about the effect though, and it'll be this whistling that throws Jones under in the end.

Moore's communications director resigns.

Remember how many campaign managers Trump went through, while Hillary just had Robby "I somehow got McAuliffe to nearly lose" Mook? Remember who won?

So the key to a winning campain is to fire your campaign staff.

"As allegations are discredited"

A lot of new "pollsters" are suddenly appearing for the this race that I'm sure we'll never see again. I only care about the ones that have been consistently polling the race - Fox, JMC, Change Research, Emerson.

Well I am glad someone here recognizes Fox polls are not bogus.

Please note I said this new poll had to be confirmed.

Fox's pollsters are bipartisan and credible. I don't think anyone here disputes them.
