Alabama election results thread

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The Republicans would have won this one had Alabama ran the candidate Trump originally supported

You can just say, "Bannon". You dont have to beat around the bush and say, "Trump".

This thread is a perfect example of why it isn't wise to jump to conclusions...

come on Alabama, make America proud again!

Did the write-ins just decide the election?

CNN just called it for Doug Jones!

Hey Roy, FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON!

I don’t care who you are, that’s fucking hilarious.

I like threads like this. There was hardly any arguing in it. Just good fun.

Sad that Democrats have learned you can falsely accuse people of vile acts and win rather than run on issues.

bullshit. rethuglicans learned that by falsely demonizing their presidential opponent.

roy moore is a legit creeper and his stone age agenda is THE CREEPIEST.

say a prayer and search your soul for the TRUTH, Mr Christian...

Assuming that all 22,000 write-in would have otherwise voted for the Republican candidate had it not been Moore, yes.

Jefferson County and the write ins were the keys.

Jones wins!

Once again, in every single election around the country since Trump was sworn in, Democrat vote is way, way up, Republican vote is down. It's called a wave. It's a big wave. Wake up Conservatives.

Ha. Not really.

Report: Alabama Senate Candidate Doug Jones Backed By George Soros-Funded PACs

''Per a Politico report published Monday, the mysterious super PAC that has poured $4 million into the Alabama special election, Highway 31, is a “joint project” of two of the Democrats’ largest super PACs – Senate Majority PAC and Priorities USA Action – both of which are funded by liberal one-world billionaire George Soros.

If that’s not the opposite of grassroots, I don’t know what is.''

Anyone who talks Soros without talk Koch is talking out their ass.

It might not take all... Maybe, 17,000. Hard to say, without comparing it to historical numbers, if it's special this time around.

Moore had other issues than teenage girls. Republicans would have been wise to disqualify him just on his refusal to honour his oath to uphold the Constitution, or his problems with the IRS, or his age.

This is also a vote against Trump’s tax cuts.

Well, he can always go sell used cars.

Did the write-ins just decide the election?

Assuming that all 22,000 write-in would have otherwise voted for the Republican candidate had it not been Moore, yes.

In the 2016 Alabama Senate election , there were only 3,631 write-ins.

I think we may be able to say the write-ins decided it.

Those 20 thousand votes went to Trump!

 

[JakeStarkey]

They probably went for Barkley.

This is so underwhelming finally it's over. It'll be back a red seat again.

"Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!" - President Trump

Great response from President Trump via twitter. Class act president.
