…
Sanity has prevailed in Alabama. Democratic US Senate candidate Doug Jones has defeated Republican sexual predator Roy Moore in one of the most bizarre political upsets in American political history!
Politics
For a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat in more than 25 years, Alabamians with a soul rejected the notion that an accused child molester was better than a Democrat and will be sending Doug Jones to represent them in the US Senate come January. With 98% of all precincts reporting, CNN projected Doug Jones as the winner with 49.9% of the vote, over Roy Moore who carried 48.4% of the vote. The stunning Democratic victory in a traditionally red state (made possible by a HUGE African-American voter turnout) will now construct the Senate with 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats — a virtual razor-thin margin.
Despite coming up short in the special election, Roy Moore refused to concede defeat and suggested he will call for a recount because “God is always in control.”
Hmmm…
Although Moore is the obvious loser of the night, the biggest loser is none other than Donald J. Trump. “The Donald” originally backed Luther Strange in the Alabama primary, but he lost to Roy Moore. Once the pedophile and sexual predator charges began to mount against Roy Moore, Republicans tripped over each other running away from him. However, Donald Trump — at the urging of Steve Bannon — actually ran TOWARD Moore, linking himself to the accused sexual pervert under the belief that his “star power” could somehow carry Moore across the finish line. It didn’t!
So much for a man who claims he’s nothing but a winner.
With this loss, Donald Trump has realized that he doesn’t carry the clout to get a dog catcher elected. Additionally, with a 51-49 Senate margin, Trump will now find it nearly impossible to get anything passed.
The special election in Alabama was due to Trump’s decision to pluck Jeff Sessions out of the Senate and name him US Attorney General. NO ONE believed a deeply Republican state like Alabama would ever elect a Democrat to replace Jeff Sessions. However, NO ONE knew that the GOP would run a child sex addict as their candidate of choice.

Earlier in the day on Tuesday, Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called for a #MeToo investigation into Trump’s sordid past and known history of sexually degrading women. As expected, Trump attacked the senator with a sexually suggestive tweet implying that Sen. Gillibrand would “do anything” for money.
“Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Charles E. Schumer and someone who would come to my office ‘begging’ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” the Oval Office occupant wrote. “Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!”

Needless to say, his words prompted a swift and immediate backlash, which culminated in a decisive victory for the Democrats in Alabama and a clear message to “The Donald” in the process.
To date, Donald Trump is in the midst of a losing presidency. He has failed to pass even one single piece of major legislation. He has also failed to lift any candidate he has personally backed to victory. His actions are also now personally responsible for making Senator-elect Doug Jones a reality.
Granted, Roy Moore lost the election but Donald Trump has lost the game!

“Sanity has prevailed in Alabama” Indeed it has DJ…against ALL odds and not a moment too soon! Honestly, watching the results come in last night was a real roller-coaster ride for me AND my kinfolks -truly a nail-biter. And we were spent when it was all said and done. But VICTORY is Sweet…..Lol. Yesterday I said that for Doug Jones to have any of chance of wining he needed 3 groups, in particular, to show up….and SHOW UP they did. Blacks (in record numbers) White women (especially college educated suburban women) and Young adult voters. Another large group that showed-up for Jones – Parents (especially those having children ages 18 yrs and under). Congrats to Senator-elect, Doug Jones, and to his campaign, on running a great race. A Moore victory would have had far-reaching damaging consequences not only for the state of Alabama but also for this nation. Thankfully last… Read more »
