    This is definitely a repudiation of Trump. Hopefully this causes the GOP to
    Consider impeachment

    ROFL he did nothing of the sort and it will not effect him here at all, your hyperbole noted. He came in at the end to try and save the seat.

    Statute of limits may preclude a serious effort to legally pursue Moore. I am one of those who believes that it is important not to do a lot of exempting of that statute of limits. Justice may not have an expiration date, but there is definitely 'a best used by...' date in getting solid exculpatory evidence, documentation and witness testimony.

    Yup.

    The critical poll question here was "Which candidate most closely reflects your values?" and Moore simply could not rise above his own personal swamp.

    The Republicans dodged a MAJOR bullet here; the voters of Alabama are the RP's new bestie.

    Not liking the results doesn't make the vote illegitimate, that goes for both Trump and Jones.

    No.

    Not how Alabama rolls.

    This was about a scumbag named Moore being sent back to the swamp from which he arose.

    Nothing else.

    Yeah, those debates were REALLY creepy.

    Lots of Trumpbots trying to convince everyone else that 15 years old is not so young AND that everyone gets turned on by good looking 14 and 15 year old's. And then backtracking like mad when they realize that they are the only one's over 25-30 who think that way.

    This is a big loss for Trump who went down 'bigly' and 'yoojly' by throwing his weight behind Roy Moore who was under a sex perversion cloud.

    This is another step down the road outta town for Trump.

    Actually, he emerged as a pretty good campaigner; he may have a serious shelf life.

    I guess voters decided he would represent them better than Moore.

    I hope you are correct, but there are still hurdles to cross.... A few more special elections, then November 2018, then we can talk.... But a good night for decency...

    This actually somewhat restores my faith in some people.

    Thank you for proving us wrong... it's comforting.

    Ick... I just flipped to Fox... they have a split screen.... 1/2 showing Jones celebration and 1/2 has Ken Starr talking about the terrible Mueller team.... No surprise, but gross nonetheless.... I will refrain from that impulse anymore...

    I doubt he'll do that - at least not right away - though it is relevant.

    But later?

    Sure.

    No, that is obviously not true.

    This is the second time in 24 hours that you've made claims this clearly ridiculous.

    Trump went all in. Recording robocalls and going practically to the state line to campaign for him.
