Judge Moore lost in deep deep red Alabama to a Democrat. I honestly can say that I am surprised. I assumed that the Evangelical Vote was there just enough for him to pull it out. Let’s face it, this election should not have been even close. Moore was the wrong candidate, Strange or Mo Brooks would have won this thing going away and Trump knew it. Strange or Brooks would have voted 99/100 the same as Moore in the Senate. Bannon’s power play failed. and now there is a Democrat Senator From Alabama. A Democrat Senator From Alabama.

Instead of an easy win with a great candidate, the Moron Bannon decided to push a pedophile, frankly, into the election. Honestly, if I were a ‘Bama voter I would have sat on my hands yesterday. Moore had a thing for teenie-boppers when he was in his 30’s (and I don’t care if they were ‘of age’). I have 3 daughters, if a 30-something showed up to date one of them in their teens he and I would go downstairs to the bar, share a scotch and even a cigar, and then we would have a discussion. We would talk about which would hurt worse, bird shot/rock salt to the balls or 00-buck to the thoracic cavity, would it be worse to be castrated with a a red-hot bolt-cutter or have the jewels repeatedly smashed with Louisville’s Finest Maple Baseball Bat? We would also discuss various bursting pressures of the male testicle when placed in different anatomical positions while using a hand-cranked vice; there may even be a discussion of the finer more violent points of Pecak Silat. All of this wide ranging, erudite banter would occur whilst I cleaned one of the AKs.

My assumption about the Evangelicals was wrong. They did what exactly I would have done. They stayed home and I give them kudos for that. Moore was the wrong guy and all of his bluster and stunts yielded nothing. So, what have we learned? We saw this happen a few times before. We need to run Trump/America First candidates who aren’t puritanical firebrands with a hangup for teenie-boppers (or any other bizarre predilections). We also learned the Trump was right again, and Bannon was wrong, again. And Bannon is too close to Lyin’ Ted Cruz for my liking.

The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

I will of course assume that Jones won’t be re-elected once the GOP in ‘Bama runs a less weird candidate.

Joe Manchen in WV should be flipped to GOP. Time to make a deal.

On to 2018!
