Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore in a close election for the open seat, becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama since 1992.

The result was a major blow for Trump, who backed Moore despite a series of allegations that the former judge had sexual relationships with underage girls when he was in his 30s.

1. We all know Trump didn't write that. nt

[rpannier]

11. Kind of my thought

It was far too gracious a tweet

[iluvtennis]

28. Ditto. His real tweets come on Wed morning at 6am EST.

29. One of Lawrence O'Donnell's

guest said exactly that tonight during the program.

[Ohiya]

2. Okay, whoever wrote this...

...give the Ass Hole his phone back!

[LongTomH]

31. Hah!!!! You win the thread!!!

[dalton99a]

3. Fake Trump wrote it

[jmowreader]

4. Oh man, is he pissed

He's blaming the write-ins, and not the monster his party fielded, for Doug Jones winning the election...and then there's the cute little "we'll have the seat back in two years" slam.

[TimeToGo]

14. Up in 2020

He's filling a vacancy.

[lunasun]

19. Oh thank you so he just completes Sessions term then. Still time to make a difference

[hay rick]

5. We'll find out what Trump really thinks in his morning tweetstorm.

[Freethinker65]

26. Yep

[forgotmylogin]

6. I'm predicting a thick layer of 'this isn't my fault'

He'll make an effort to go about business as usual tomorrow like it's no big deal.

[byronius]

7. Wait until early next morning for the real Trump to start up.

It'll happen.

[lunasun]

8. He forgot to add ....""And I helped "

[Docreed2003]

9. The write in vote played a big part...

Why put that crap in there...

Otherwise, the rest of the tweet HAD to have been written by someone other than the Don!

[nycbos]

10. Someone must have tweeted for him.

[marble falls]

13. I'm surprised that the Orange Shitgibbon didn't take credit.

[turbinetree]

15. Donald Trump throwing a tantrum over this election in Alabama.......................

[bullwinkle428]

21. Dude...I was TOTALLY picturing this before you even posted it!!

[turbinetree]

23. Well there are so many to choose from, was going to use this as a back-up

[lunasun]

16. Crazy trump must be sleeping . Real crazy trump will be up @ 3am with a tweet tantrum on this

Fake nice congratulatory full sentence with punctuation trump ....FAKE TRUMP TWEET

[djacq]

17. Don't Recall Trump Congratulating VA Gov elect Ralph Northam

He didn't write this tweet and smart Americans know it.

Get Woke! Get Ready for Impeachment!

[bullwinkle428]

22. He couldn't wait 5 minutes before throwing Ed Gillespie under the bus, driving

over him, and then putting it into reverse and driving over him again!

18. Moore campaign clinging to bullshit

11:34 PM EST, Dec 12 -- listening to Roy Moore's deluded campaign manager telling his supporters "the military votes haven't been counted yet."

Bullshit.

Absentee votes were counted and are added into the totals already. This claim is just more bullshit from a loser speaking to losers.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I bet he swallowed his lower dentures when the votes came in.

[cstanleytech]

24. I wonder how many Republicans will run in fear of Donald endorsing them

in the future with his kiss of death.

[briv1016]

25. So we can assume Donald is in a 4 point restrain in the "quiet room" of the White House.

[SergeStorms]

27. I clicked on this....

thinking it was some sort of joke. Do you think Trump realizes that his "revolution" of destroying our government, and HE, might not be as popular as he thinks?

[7962]

30. Never thought id see that. If its really him.

While I think its hilarious that Moore lost, I dont read anything into this election. Had Strange been the GOP candidate this wouldn't have been close at all.
But today its a slap to the asshole wing of the GOP and likely the end of politics for Moore

Still waiting for those lawsuits Moore said he was going to file against his "false accusers"..........
