In retrospect? In real time he was a terrible candidate and we told y’all that many many times on here. “Oh yeah prove it” while making arrogant suggestions that he couldn’t lose was the main response.

You voted for him in the Primaries?!
No, my support in the primaries was for Tripp Pittman. I'm just saying if we could go back, I wish we could have had Strange over Moore.

Out of state posters might have underestimated just how many people in Alabama dislike Roy Moore. I left the state 20 years ago and he already had a load of people that despised him.

In "retrospect"?
He's been a horrible person, professional and politician for decades. He's an arrogant, lying, self-aggrandizing loser.
I hate that the Republicans lost the Senate seat, but if the base of the party can't support better candidates than the likes of Moore, then we'll continue to see the Democrats drift farther to the left and the Republicans having no ability to check them.

That's the thing, he could have won despite being a terrible candidate. He chose to disappear from the campaign trail in the final 2 weeks of the campaign and sent his dumbass staff out to speak for him. Jones flat out worked him and got his people to the polls.

Totally agree. I guess I thought that Moore still had a shot to win, despite everything. So looking back, I realize that he couldn't do that. His campaign failed bigly. They did worse than the Romney Campaign in 2012.

He is a horrible campaigner. Always has been.

That 20 seconds of dead air after his campaign manager was informed that you didn't have to swear on a bible is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

He lost by 1.5%. He still had a shot.

The blame goes to McConnell for not having the vision or leadership abilities to initially get behind Mo Brooks.
I loathe Mitch but he is the Senate majority leader and he backed a sitting member of the US Senate that had voted with him and Trump on everything. He was never going to back anyone but Strange.
This is a 100% on Bannon and his minions, they need to be told to park it before they destroy whatever chances the GOP has of holding the Senate. Bannon is already working on destroying AZ for the GOP by propping up his next clown...Kelli Ward.

why? Strange had already been in Washington and voted for Trump's agenda lock-step. If Mo Brooks wins the Primary, sure, you do have another House member who has voted lock-step with Trump - but then you have to fill a House seat... in an area that isn't guaranteed to go Republican.
The Republicans actually did what was best from a strategy prospective. Also looking at the way Moore has constantly lost everything... they actually thought Moore would be a SUPER easy guy to defeat - they somehow missed how despised Strange had become because of the whole Governor crap though, and that's why they lost.

Jones did not because the majority of Alabama voters support his views on the issues.
He didn't win because Alabama is some newly progressive state.
How long did it take you to come up with this theory? I think everyone everywhere gets this. But keep in mind that Alabama voters chose Moore over Luther Strange. Maybe the bigger story is how crazy Republican voters in Alabama have gotten that would back the jackass Republican candidate and reject the more viable Republican candidate.

If I could go back now, I would take Luther Strange (as much as I dislike him and the establishment support he had) over Roy Moore.
I really don’t understand a vote for Strange.. what has Shelby or Sessions done for the state of Alabama? Sure, he would vote lockstep for Trumps agenda. But after Trumps term is up he would just be the incompetent establishment career politician who just whores himself out to big donors.
Alabama needs to find someone that actually wants what’s best for its people. This should be a wake up call to start calling out members of the Alabama GOP to get their shite together.

It was the perfect storm which is what it takes to get a Democrat elected in this state for the first time in 20 years. It had nothing to do with policies. Nothing.

But we kept trying to tell them.
