Who will win the Alabama Senate special election?

[Minoosh]

Breitbart has a quote in huge text "'bamnon least culpable!'"

I honestly wonder what it is like to work there. I can't imagine typing that out and being happy with myself.

What is "bamnon"?

What is "bamnon"?

Whatever you want it to be.

All of that still makes it within their interest.

I would say that's not necessarily true if one's perception of interest is not true. I imagine that there are people who believe religiously that my support of certain causes and candidates could result in my burning in hell forever. I, on the other hand, believe that some people vote wrong for other reasons and that they'll be sorry they did. If I'm right, are they voting in their interest? Are they voting both for and against it at the same time? If you vote for "right to life" and your candidate is a hypocrite who seeks an abortion for his mistress, which interest is which? When is the interest calculated? Is your interest in the perceived benefit or the result?

Them being "wrong" doesn't change what their interests are.

Overripe covfefe. It's popular in Nambia.

I thought Moore would win, but apparently Trump knew Jones would prevail. He's so smart. That's why he gets to be president. People say Trump has difficulty admitting his mistakes; that's perfectly OK because he hardly makes any.

Like Trump I am willing to admit that I was wrong. Once. Back in 1976, I was wrong for an entire two hours. When I thought I had made a mistake. But it turned out I hadn't made a mistake after all.

BTW- is it too late for me to change my vote in the poll?

 

[Giordano]

I noticed that the Trump administration just withdrew form Senate consideration two of his most egregious judicial nominations. Might this be an early indication of the Alabama Senate race beginning to undercut Trump's confidence in pushing his agendas through the Congress?

Doesn't that depend on how you define "interest?" If you vote for someone who turns around and kills you, are you saying your perceived interest trumps the actual event?

I am hearing Obama shipped in black illegal-immigrant Syrian abortionists who stuffed ballot boxes in Montgomery and then went out into the countryside stealing people's GUNS!

They were heard to say "Where the White Women at?"

And then they stole Moore's horse because, poor thing needs a new home.

Just reporting the rumor.

 

[PhantomWolf]

It isn't pandering, but yes. I don't want to be elected so me and the people like me can impose on the minority. I'm interested in imposing on the majority itself.

You know, something tells me that pandering to the 25% who put you over the top, and pissing off the 75% that supported you all the time and are your base, might not be a very good re-election strategy.

That's not all that far off a couple of actual tweets I saw on the internet.

Pro Tip: If you're planning to run for election in a Southern States, don't suggest that getting rid of all the Amendments after the 10th. You'll find Black/African American voters are rather attached to the 13th.

Did Roy Moore say that? Seriously?

 

[Craig4]

Wait till they hear that Moore has gone down on half the Carolina League.

I bet they'd be refreshed to learn that the Carolina League is made up of people over the age of consent.

This is why I'm not a big fan of democracy.

 

[BobTheCoward]

Did Roy Moore say that? Seriously?

You didn't see that?

In Moore's June appearance, one of the hosts says he would like to see an amendment that would void all the amendments after the Tenth.

"That would eliminate many problems," Moore replied. "You know people don't understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended."

Moore cited the 17th Amendment, which calls for the direct election of senators by voters rather than state legislatures, as one he particularly found troublesome.

This is why I'm not a big fan of democracy.

And I'm a strong believer in a democratic republic. What is it that Churchill said about democracy? `That it is the worst form of government. Except for all the others.`

 

[Mike!]

It makes sense now why he didn't concede last night, he didn't have a concession speech written.

I don't remember where I heard it last night, I was doing a lot of channel jumping, but I do know that they said he'd only written a victory speech.
It's that kind of confidence that always comes back to bite you in the ass.
