Doug Jones Wins

[Anonymous]

Things that don't matter:
- Being mocked for being down in the dumps
- Being mocked for not being down in the dumps
- Conspiracy theories

Things that do matter:
- Outcomes of elections (and the outcomes of the elections that come after that)
- Outcomes of court cases
- Legislation that gets passed
- Supreme Court appointments that go through

It goes up, it goes down, and you win some, you lose some. Which way is it trending overall?

Eyes on the prize.

I say Doug Jones for president .......

He is articulate, reasonable and from the south which is what Democrats need if they want to win.

He makes a lot of sense as a candidate. Plus, it would be good for Alabama, and that is not a bad thing.

No, as much as you want them to be. And they tried.

They tried in Alabama? Cite your source, please.

I love how you just rolled that goof. I mean when the Alabama SOS said he couldn't preserve the images, even though it's literally possible at the touch of a button, I had to wonder. But he just admitted they did!

I like Doug Jones, but if the exit polls tell us anything, it's that Democrats need a candidate that black people can be energized by, but on a national scale. I don't think that is Doug Jones.

The real question is, could he have won without the smears. Which means that liberals will have to continue with the smear campaigns, which means they will have to take out a lot of their own in the process. How long do you think other liberals will tolerate this?

They weren't smears, but probably not. This *is* Alabama we're talking about. At least some people draw the line at pedophilia.

I'm a Democrat, but I don't think Doug Jones would carry his state in a presidential race unless his opponent was Roy Moore.

The "smears"??

Like the fact that the man was credibly accused of being a child molester by multiple people?

Or the fact that he was kicked off the bench not one, but twice, for his willful disregard for the Constitution he and his supporters purport to defend?

Anyways I would like to say Congratulations Alabama! your efforts have helped ensure that any damage done by Trump can be limited in the future.

Jones' election = Scott Brown election

two year term

not a sea change: bad candidate

You are making me laugh. Keep making excuses for why this isn't a huge deal. Sad!

Two years means TWO YEARS the republicans have one less person on their team and TWO YEARS the democrats are stronger fighting P45.

Go ahead and write it off as "it's only 2 years, big deal...", but coupled with the elections in VA, NJ, and elsewhere we are sending a message you cannot deny.

And everything you just said was applicable to the Democratic Party after Trump won, but I’m remembering the adamant denials by liberals that his win didn’t really mean anything and wasn’t sending a message. Hmm, remember that?

You never know. There's plenty of people in Alabama who are pro-Obamacare (a Democratic issue) and pro-equity (i.e. no tax plans that primarily benefit the rich). Once people get to know Doug Jones and realize that despite his stance on abortion (a negative to them), Democrats are not so bad...

The Jones victory helps the GOP and doesn't help his party.

I forget who’s analysis this was, but it was about a 30-point swing between Trump’s numbers in Alabama and Moore’s. One third of that was democratic energy attributable to opposition to Trump, another third was Roy Moore‘s problems prior to the Post article (he only won his statewide race in 2012 by 3 points,) and the last third was a response to the Post article.
