Alabama Special Election (Roy Moore diddles, GOP thumbs up, Mr. Jones goes to Washington) - Page 55 - Politics and Economics

Yeah and you don't see the right fretting about how they shouldn't count Jill Stein as an ally - like the left does when Flake, Frum, whatever dickbag neocon comes out against Trump - is my whole point.

Take what you can ****ing get, sort it out later after you won.

I honestly don't know if you're referring to Moore or Bannon.

I need to make sure it's you. What's your protocol for approaching/embracing other people's kids in public?

According to the talking heads on MSNBC, Bannon is referring to Mitt Romney - which is a bit ironic considering the fact that Trump's "greatest worry" during Vietnam was contracting a sexually transmitted disease from the steady stream of New York debutantes and party girls that visited him while he was studying hard at Wharton.

Serious question - if Moore had dodged the draft in Vietnam, yet Bannon said he served honorably at some rally - WOULD IT MATTER ONE BIT?

No of course not. Because nothing ****ing matters anymore. Which is where I thought you were going with that.

I don't think any of us ever realized until now what a gigantic role shame played in US politics.

In an even money bet on who wins I like the Moore side a lot and would give you action if it didn't mean betting on a pedophile

Republican internal polling must be close. Otherwise why would they start infusing money into the Race and have Trump actively campaign for Moore this weekend.

Apparently the state Dems put out some fairly racist adjacent flyers stating that Moore would never be elected if black and a pedo. Some black folks not happy. See theroot.com

Nothing like pissing off the constituency you absolutely need to win right before the vote.

No, this isn't right. Secret baggage gives leadership leverage, because they can threaten to make it public. Winning a scandal-filled election inoculates (to some extent) the candidate from that that baggage or even future revelations (eg Trump is another example). If he wins, Roy Moore can credibly claim to have a base that will support him regardless of what leadership or the rest of the party does or says.

Are you really so divorced from reality that you think a black candidate wouldn't struggle (and fire up the R base) in a statewide election in Alabama of all places?
