Just don't see beating Roy Moore in Alabama

[Saboburns]

I believe some people will tell a pollster, be it a real person or a phone call or an online question one way, but when that person gets alone in a voting booth and pulls the curtain and knows nobody will ever know, that person will sometimes vote differently.

I wish I saw it differently but I think Moore wins 4-5%.

1. Any other cheerful thoughts you want to share with us? eom

4. I think things will get a whole lot worse before they get better.

I think we are on the verge of something truly horrible happening, and that we have passed the point of no return.

I never understood that old Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times'. I used to scratch my head about it, I thought that interesting times would be great fun if to live through and I just could not understand how living through interesting times would be a bad thing. Well, I understand it now.

6. so this is just your opinion

thanks

2. True, but down in 'Bama, you can argue the reverse as well

Namely, that in a state which is so overwhelmingly red on a fundamental cultural level, people may actually feel embarrassed to admit they are voting for the Democrat.

3. I'm hopeful Jones wins...

But if he doesn't, the repukes still lose no matter what.

This will taint the state even more than the civil rights movement if Moore wins. They will have elected a child molester.

5. They will have elected a child molester.

But thuglicans don't have ANY shame.

Yeah, it's rumored that Moore will be shunned by McTurtle et al if/when he gets into the Senate. However, thuglicans want/need his votes so that they can continue destroying this country. Yeah, he may make some thuglicans uncomfortable. But, McTurtle, Lyin' Ryan and other thuglicans want/need his vote, so they aren't that uncomfortable with Roy Mall Rat Moore.

7. A Roy Moore win would be hung around the neck of every repuke...

come next election.

They'll have shame when the backlash comes should that fucker win.

8. They'll have shame when the backlash comes should that fucker win.

IF we had more "normal" voting conditions, I'd agree with you 1,000%, and feel good about voting thuglican bums OUT.

However, we don't. Not a lot has changed or gotten better since 2016 -- our voting system is still pretty much in shambles (Machines not maintained, machines easy to hack, fewer of them in Dem areas), AND thuglicans will be voter-suppressing Dems off the chain this next time around. And, according to how the Supreme Court rules on the Wisconsin gerrymandering case (Gorsuch), if Wisconsin is allowed to go on with it's gerrymandering -- that's not good. It's HORRIBLE. Also, the ruskies will be engaging in shenanigans again. Heck, they never stopped, nor will they be checked by thuglicans, especially not by tRump whose the puppet of putin.

9. This is going to be a dead heat

If Moore eaks this out the GOP still loses. He’s a nut bar extraordinar and a doubt the GOP can contain him. Let alone the GOP brand will be tainted by this pedophile that was banned from a mall.

10. Holy Shit. Doug Jones wins.

Crow crow and more crow for me.

I was wrong, gloriously wrong!

Thankful to all those in Alabama who worked their butts off to elect a Democratic Senator. Well Done.

Fuckin' A
