Although I would never underestimate the power of being incumbency. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 5 minutes ago, RedDenver said: How much did Alabama's other Senator, Richard Shelby, end up mattering when he told voters to write-in another Republican instead of voting for Moore or Jones? Looks like the write in will be 1.7% and Jones's margin of victory around 1%, so sane Republicans ended up mattering a LOT. It should widen as the remaining vote is from Jefferson County which is pro-Jones county of Birmingham, but subjectively... heck yeah. Enough GOP voters of conscious either couldn't turn out for Moore or wrote in someone else. Subjectively, I saw reporting that very little mention was made of Shelby (or the story about the addition to the yearbook signature) at exit polling. They suggested both events happened too late to have much impact. Still, good for Shelby, good for Alabama, good for the country. 1 Link to comment

I'm not counting on it, but you never know. If he does, I can always look back on this egregious load of crap and smile about the time Donald Trump tried desperately to get the people of Alabama to put a pedophile and hateful, wrongheaded bigot in the Senate... and failed. VICTORY BUMP! For posterity. Trump's got to own this now, as does Bannon. There's no deleting of the endorsement tweets on this one. It's got to be an interesting feeling to put your seal of approval on a credibly-accused child predator... and come up short. Edited December 13, 2017 by dudeguyy 2 Link to comment

Final margin 1.7%, which is the same as the write-in at 1.7%. Crazy that the final margin and the write-in vote ended up the same. Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 This is crazy, but great. If nothing else, it shows there's no planning or strategic thinking in the Trump Administration. A well-run political machine wouldn't step on this many landmines. 2 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 ^^^^^ Pretty amazing political folly. I don't think the Repubs ever have a well thought out game plan. With a game plan like that above, Scott Frost would have been 0-12 instead of 12-0. Link to comment
