Sure. 5:1, payable on Moore winning an election or dying. I’m the escrow.

Do you seriously not understand how primaries work?

You don't believe that there exists a true MAGA deplorable in Alabama who also, is not a pedophile who would run against him in the primary? Like, seriously?

Edit: Don't get me wrong, there does some to be a strong correlation these days between republican politicians and liking underage boys & girls.

Moore won, what, all but one district in the statewide?

Yeah, definitely no chance he could win an election there.

Oh, but there's a primary you say? Yeah, the only way Moore's losing that is if his opponent sacrifices a live homosexual vegan during a campaign speech or something equally revolting.

Right? In none of the media stories regarding that whole fiasco did anyone who actually hailed from Alabama seem surprised or alarmed that he dated teenage girls. Many of them tried to act like that was completely normal. Maybe for them it is.

If there's some future primary between Moore and some replacement level establishment backed Republican I'd bet on Moore and not think twice about it.

You guys always believe the overt reasoning people give?

I mean, sure, they're saying that then, because they're trying to rationalize their vote in a case where their only alternative is a democrat.

This isn't going to be the case next time.

Again, I'll book action.

Seriously. No ****. The actual reason they voted for Moore wasn't abortion or because they thought it was OK for 36 year olds to try to date high school girls, they voted it because Jones was a race traitor Pelosi voting Obama Clinton Soros LIBTARD.

Moore won the GOP primary because a lot of the right wing media got behind him and because the pedo **** WASN'T PUBLIC YET. It's public now!

What ring wing media abandoned him again? Last I heard it was all Fake News.

As one Breitbart staffer told CNN, "It seemed at times we were an arm of the Moore campaign." Indeed, internally, Matthew Boyle, the website's Washington editor, told staffers that the "only big story" was the race. "It's literally everything," Boyle wrote in the company's Slack group, calling for an "all hands on deck" approach and saying it would decide the "future of the economic nationalist movement and whether Trump is going to win."

But speaking to CNN in a recent phone interview, Marlow took a starkly different tone. He described Moore as a "weak candidate" who "ran a terrible campaign" -- sentiments that Breitbart hadn't clued its readers into as it was serving as a de facto mouthpiece for the judge.

Not sure what you’re rambling about. Of course somebody with less money, name recognition and without support from Bannon/possibly Trump will run against him in a primary. Moore has a shot to win in the most deplorable districts in the country, where people are inclined to say the women are lying, it’s ok to date young girls, even if he did it and it’s wrong he has the strongest track record of racism and religious bigotry etc.

Looks like I was right about black people being able to vote - an increase in votes of 30% for black voters over 2014, compared to a 13% increase for all voters. Do you still believe the election was illegitimate?
12-26-2017 , 04:23 PM
I still feel it’s worth investigating why so many black voters were disenfranchised, if that’s what you mean

You said you thought the election was rigged. Since Jones won, I'm guessing you no longer think this. If so, I'm curious why you think you were wrong?
12-26-2017 , 05:37 PM
lol "some black people voted ergo there must not have been any disenfranchisment"

brilliant analysis chaps
12-26-2017 , 05:42 PM
That dude's posting is almost always that sort of dishonest, misleading nonsense.

This is poor reasoning. Jones winning and the election being rigged in favor of his opponent aren’t mutually exclusive.

I agree, they aren't, so maybe Loki's view is that the election was rigged and Jones won anyway.

And like, OP, you, as a Smart Guy who ran to this forum with that article to rub it in our faces...

You needed to ask him to figure that **** out? Like you couldn't work it out if he believed that yourself? I mean there is a ton of liberal and leftist writing about voter suppression, it's been a huge issue for like the last 5 years, but ole' OP is just stumped. He's GOBSMACKED by the like, most basic suggestion that voter suppression exists and is deployed against black people.

Right? Because if that's not the case, if you were aware that the issue existed and you were aware of what the left partisan view on that issue was, boy howdy are your posts in this thread terrible and pointless, disingenuous trolling the libtards with so little of a point you forgot that the libtards are happy about Jones winning.
