I said I was surprised it got as far as a vote. They usually don't.

Doug Jones, The Democrat, won in Alabama. Big surprise even with the allegations against Moore. It seems that in addition to that a large black turnout won it for Jones as Moore's base support still turned out for him.

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 24 minutes ago

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!

So, the last two people you endorsed in Alabama were both defeated...

Donald has a answer for everything it seems.

Still, Republicans are still winning with 5 out of 7 races won over the Democrats, who have spent fortunes on these races.

.8% of a win over someone with accusations of a sexual conduct towards a miner, is piss poor, should be a landslide for any opponent.

The Writeins won it. (People who voted earlier on more like when the allegations were coming to light).

I read One accuser admitting to forging a year book.

Moore either way was bad choice, had ancient and backwards policies, he should have made way for a more viable candidate.

I now expect serial groper while women sleep, Democrat, Al Frankenstein, will now resign, it was suspected he was hanging on to see if Moore won a Senate seat.

But these are largely Republican districts (let's leave aside Alabama because special circumstances). If these results were to be projected nationally, i.e the swing was consistent, the Democrats would win congress easily.

It is but says more about how partisan politics is. This is very safe Republican seat, no democrat has held any national office in the state for 23 years I believe.

He resigned last week didn't he?

Not necessarily, Democrats have 25 Seats to defend Mid terms, Republicans have 10, 2 of these look shakey.

No, he said he would resign within weeks. Which many suspect he may be waiting for the Moore/Jones race result to conclude.

In my view he should have resigned. You are innocent until proven guilty. But he should have known that with unresolved accusation hanging over him, it would impact the vote. As a polititian, he should have put his party first and resigned, got the acusations fully investigated, and if cleared, stand again later.

Yes in the coming mid-terms it's not an easy ground for them but my point is that the Democrats have largely done well in these votes. It just so happens they're largely in red states rather than contested ones.

Well let's see, it will be hard for him to back out given he has publically announced his intentions at the request of his own party.

Well, considering for all this century the Republicans have won this seat with a 30% majority, most people would consider a 31% swing in a very safe Republican state not too shabby...

Re the "forgery", Fox News withdrew that statement...

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/36...rgery-headline

A since-deleted tweet on the official Fox News twitter account had read, “BREAKING NEWS: Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.”

Fox News has since updated the story with a note at the bottom of the piece while removing any references to “forgery” in it.

"An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as 'notes' beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location.

"Furthermore, the headline on [the] story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it."

Franken’s replacement has been chosen.

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...-in-2018?amp=1

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) on Wednesday named Lt. Gov. Tina Smith (D) to fill Sen. Al Franken's (D-Minn.) soon-to-be vacated Senate seat.

Smith said she intends to run in November 2018 to complete the remaining two years of Franken's term.

"It is up to Minnesotans to decide who they want to complete Senator Franken's term. I will run in that election, and I will do my best to earn Minnesotans support. And I believe the way to do that is to be the best senator I can be," Smith said.

The USA already spends more on defence than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, France, United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany combined.
