Trump is now more vulnerable than ever to impeachment. Not only is there one more senator not on his side, but the reasons for Republicans to back him just decreased remarkably. He was a fluke and everything he touches turns to the opposite of gold. Maybe Pence would do better.
My vision of a strong Democratic Party is one that speak to the 99% with policy that helps all of them.
and he did it while preaching about god.
wow, over the top optimism from Guardian

Crushing defeat? An insane, bigoted, homophobic child molester got 48% of the vote. 48%! This clowns should not have gotten more than 4% from a few wackos. He got nearly half. Sorry if I'm not convinced "voters are rejecting Trumpism".
Caution yes but when does a trend become a trend? Look at every race since trump? During his election races were far closer in places historically are not competitive and then every election after that has shown GOP strongholds shrinking. Yes one race doesn't mean anything but there is a trend over the last year of an energized and pissed off Democratic base, smarter selected Democratic candidates, and questionable gop candidates who run shaky campaigns often due to uncertainty regarding where to attach themselves to Trump or not.I encourage a cautious optimism over this election result.
While there are many messages that can be gleamed, and one I would take is no election is impossible - even in the reddest state, 2018 and 2020 will not be reflected by the circumstances in Alabama in 2017. Especially in Alabama, Doug Jones has limited time to make a positive impact before Republicans have a chance to nominate a more likable candidate. It should be expected the state returns to its red meat origins ASAP.
At least the silver lining is this hinders Senate Republicans and President Trump through two upcoming elections. They will not regain that Senate seat until President Trump faces the voters again. We live in interesting times. And in fitting with that Chinese curse, I would say Alabama was one correct step in a swamp of missteps. The journey we are on is never over. We still need to look towards hard fought contests in the future.
So a man pursuing high school girls is enough to turn an election. But just barely. The economy is our real battleground, a field on which near all Americans, their teenage daughters included, are preyed upon by Wall Street vultures and harmed in many ways. Our fellow Americans need a campaign to help them see this truth, to understand its root cause, and to ward against blaming each other for the pickle we find ourselves in. There's over $15 trillion annually floating around in America, that's enough to make every single family worth million(s).
It's not joe the plumber or jose the cook's fault that your labors have stiffed you. The economy has devalued your labor on the natural course of its own evolution. It's time our policy evolved with it, and kept up with adaptations necessary to ensure the safety and security of our nation, and our people. We don't need all the money out there, or even a majority of it. But we do need enough to survive on. The American people had a greater share before, it's time they shake Wall Street and claim more of it again.

. . . Said Roy Moore to himself often as he zipped up.I was wrong, and it feels good.
Preassure is on Jones now, to show Alabamians that they made a right choice, pave way for more blue in the future.Ok, Alabama is, broadly speaking, socially backwards and less educated. But, according to NPR radio, only 45% of college educated white women voted for Jones over that horse-mounting pedophile. That's up from 34% of white women overall. Is this all that a college education is worth? I'd like to see how many of this demographic think evolution is real. Seriously.
Perhaps those women measured their dislike of both candidates and decided that pedo Roy stank just a bit less than his opponent. The other side of that coin is that Jones just barley beat a raciest pedophile.Ok, Alabama is, broadly speaking, socially backwards and less educated.

WTF white women.
Guy attacks, belittles, tries to rape teens.. and 2/3s of WW still vote for him.
This is why we haven't had a female president yet. Men would never take 1/10th that sort of shit and still vote for a woman.
Demand better, get better.
Empathy. Identification. Supposedly shared risk. It comes down to the . . . alleged . . . discrepancy between how many underaged males Roy Moore reached out (and under) to versus the number of females he lavished his attention onI don't quite get your point, as white _men_ were even more likely to vote for the guy. Shouldn't they be first in line for the reproaches (followed by the white women)?

Maybe a lot of Moore voters are very upset on the outside yet very relieved on the inside over this outcome?
Christmas family dinner is coming up. You psyched?Not my inlaws You haven't heard them talk, it's like Taj on crack.

So many jokes to be made across the table!Christmas family dinner is coming up. You psyched?

Mom said he could.Roy Moore was known to say the same four words after every date. “Don’t tell your Mom.”
