The guy who should be looking over his shoulder is Shelby. There's half a million republican voters who are pretty pissed off that he started a write-in campaign, which garnered nearly 23,000 write-in ballots.

These half million voters are not happy that the write-ins gave the dems a Senate seat. They know who to thank for that. Regardless of the allegations against Moore, if Shelby had endorsed him they could not have stolen this seat.

Maybe those half a million voters ought to look at themselves, how it happened that Moore got the nod anyway. Who did Shelby back in the primary?

How was the seat stolen? Did they sneak in at night and snatch it away?

No. The primary voters selected the political hack with a wide assortment of red flags, ranging from idiotic statements to a mistaken effort to insert theology over his appointed government authorities. Then it was only made worse as the Washington Post found and released a collection of accusations that completely demolished his persona, affixing him with a stink he could not shake or plausibly explain.

There was no winning in Alabama. He takes the seat, every republican for the next decade has to explain why they don't support pedophilia, even though there's a burgeoning effort from the left that it should be destimatized. Every republican for the next decade has to explain why they won't run the government based on religious morals, though religion may inform their decision. Every Republican for the next decade has to explain that they don't hate the jews, because they have a jewish lawyer. Every republican for the next decade has to explain that they don't believe the government should regulate your sex life.

He loses the seat, we're down to a 1 vote margin, much closer to failure, and much closer to losing the senate during the next Election cycle. Then the republicans will tell us that they 'need' the senate back in order to end Obamacare.

The Democrats are relentless, they come at you from all angles, they never stop, and they have absolutely no rules. For them, at least, anything goes -- lie, cheat, steal, and defame, it doesn’t matter as long as they win. Yet in the world the Democrats and the media have created, the Republicans have plenty of rules, and if they don’t abide by each one, the media tries to make it a scandal.

It doesn’t help that there are a lot of Republicans and conservatives who are just too pure to get down and dirty. Many Republicans would rather lose with dignity than win, but people who voted for Trump want to win. America wants to win. Republicans, all Republicans need to learn how to fight like the Democrats, or the nation is lost.

So far, the Democrats are one and one -- and it would have worked against Trump if their candidate didn’t have more negatives than Satan; at least he reigns in hell, Hillary merely wanted to create hell on earth and maybe unload the remaining 80% of our uranium in the process.

They’ve been coming at Trump ever since he won the nomination. Hillary threw everything she had at him, even having her lawyers, Perkins Coie, pay (breaking campaign laws to do so) almost $10 million for the ignominious Trump dossier. “Opposition research,” that even James Comey called “salacious and unverified.” Then Obama apparatchiks in the FBI and the Justice Department used the dossier to get FISA warrants to spy on members of the Trump campaign.

Ask yourself why isn’t that a bigger story? Don’t bother, it’s because the media has become an arm of the Democratic Party.

Exactly. The republicans need to stop bringing a knife to a gun fight. The republicans treat these political "differences" like honorable duels where each side respects each other and will abide by the outcome....the democrats hire an assassin to kill you the night before AND booby trap your dueling pistol.

In a fight to the death there is no second place.

It was indeed stolen. In a state where most republican candidates for state-wide office win by 20% or more, Shelby's promotion of write-in votes essentially gifted the seat to the Dems. But, then again, Shelby was a Dem until later in his political life.

As an AL voter, or more simply an American voter in general, I simply can't remember a worse setup for an election than this one.

I was a Mo Brooks supporter in the primary and grudgingly voted for Strange in the run-off. If you know anything about AL politics, you are well aware of just how bad a candidate Roy Moore was for the state and the party. I knew the instant Moore won the run-off that the senate seat was in play, and that was BEFORE the sexual allegations shit-show. I simply CAN NOT remember having a worse choice of candidates for any national political position short of the McCain/Palin 2008 debacle, it was that bad.

The Republicans as a whole mismanaged this race as badly as earthly possible, and now we're stuck with a guy who's not only a D/Democrat, but also a D/dick head. I've met every one of these guys personally, and could barely stand Mo Brooks, let alone the rest of them. Brooks actually endorsed Moore, sigh...

This whole thing was an MCF and it makes my heart hurt for America.

Nope. You're blaming the wrong person; the responsibility is with those that voted Moore over Strange, or didn't vote, in the Run Off. 262,204 voted for Moore, versus the 218,066 for Strange.

It isn't the write-in votes that caused Moore to lose, but the percentage of the population that were disgusted by him. Just look at the results of the 2016 election: Trump got 1,318,255 votes (62.1) to Hillary's 729,547 (34.4). In comparison, Roy Moore received 650,436 (48.4) to Jones' 671,151 (49.9). While less people voted for both Jones and Moore, Moore's decline was more significant. That is a 50% decline in voter turn out for the Republican; Moore lost because he was repugnant. He was repugnant before the claims of sexual misconduct.

Doug Moore, eh? Idiot.

Hey now. Before you make fun of her, do you know what she got on her LSAT?

Drool.

Ol' Roy is suing all his accusers.

Here's hoping we hear something pained from Gloria Allred.

Anyone can sue anyone.

I wouldn't count on this being anything but another Roy Moore move to appeal to his base. Every party has some nutjobs within their ranks.
Remember, Trump was against him until after the primary and he only supported him because he knew Moore wouldn't be supporting many Democrat causes.
Otherwise, he would have been an embarrassment and I hope the Republicans don't need that one vote.

As a fellow Alabamian...I can't argue with any of this.
