You take away the political attack on Moore with the rape accusation and he wins easy. Virginia was more troubling for the GOP.

Let me get this straight, you thought Trump was credible before this, but now you find him less credible? I can tell you this, no one who leans right cares.
hahahah... nooooo, I have NEVER thought trump was credible. Where did you get that idea? What I said was that trump shoulda kept his fingers to himself, and his mouth shut regarding moore.

Actually, we don't really know that. There was enough to hang moore with those who didn't really want to vote for him, even without the accusations. All the dems had to do was harp on his history and get out the vote. Which they did. Commendably. Run with what ya got!

Thanks for the laugh.

Only in the fevered swamps of liberals' minds would a 1.5% win over an old coot like Moore be considered a "referendum on Trump."

Newsflash: This was a special election, and Alabama is Trump country. And Jones knows it, so it'll be interesting to see what he'll do--or won't do-- to keep that seat in 2018.

Which he won't, BTW.

No... Don't fool yourself. This was a squeaker of a win over a pedophile. A PEDOPHILE !!!

This election win is not proof that the Democrats are back or that Trump is finished in Alabama.
