Democrats convinced they win even if they lose

[variant]

A moot point, since the Dems won in Alabama.

We'll call that a double win then since many Republicans went all out to try to get someone like Moore elected.

A win for common decency then as well.

Senator Graham of SC says that if Moore wins, he will be a gift to the Democrats that keeps on giving.

I agree with our senator. However, a democratic senator for a couple of years is even better.

Well as a Republican I saw the outcome as a loss on us either way, on account of how if Roy Moore won well it would show just how low folks were willing to go. Glad he lost. I think that's better for Republicans in the long run. Not during Trump's presidency maybe but after that man is gone, the less wrongs the Republicans have committed during it, the better.

From the "Right is wrong and good is evil", files: Why Democrats win even if they lose in Alabama

Democrats head into Tuesday’s Senate election in Alabama confident that they'll come out on top no matter who wins.
...
If Roy Moore wins, they'll spend the next year yoking every Republican they can to the accused child predator and a president who welcomed him into the GOP fold. They'll be quick to remind everyone of all the other comments Moore has made against Muslims and gays and in favor of Vladimir Putin’s view of America as evil, as well as his rosy view of slave-era America.​

Curiously, the few Republicans cited to be in agreement with this Democrat philosophy seem to be the ones who haven't fared well in the Trump era.

And if the Republicans win they call Democrats Losers and Snowflakes for the next 4 years.

The Republicans have learned that if they want to elect a homophobic, misogynist bigot, who things that women shouldn't vote, being gay should be illegal, and slavery was a good thing, they'd better hope that he's not also a pedophile.

CNN had an interesting commentary this morning -- it was the first election where both major parties were rooting for the other guy. Had Moore won, he would've been an anchor around the GOP's neck that would almost certainly cost them the Senate next year... and possibly the House. Both parties were well aware of this, and it meant a whole lot more than the 1 seat in the Senate which was at stake.

One who calls himself a Christian should never support abortion.

Pedophilia, however, will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Noting that your alleged pedophile lost.

Jones is not really my candidate, as I don't live in Alabama, has not been accused of anything (AFAIK), and, in case all that hurting has caused memory loss, he won.

Three inaccuracies in six words -- a new CF record?

Noting that your post is just WRONG!

Go back and reread my post ... for clarification and understanding.

Clarification of what? Moore was never mine, so you can't possibly be referring to him... that just leaves Jones.

He may not have been the candidate you would have voted for ... but he was most certainly the candidate about whom you were posting.

Then you should have said that instead of assigning ownership of a pedophile to me.

Touchy today?

Touchy today?

Yes, it appears you are. Otherwise I would think you would have just admitted you phrased it poorly and rephrased what you were claiming.

 

[NightHawkeye]

Yes, it appears you are.

Not even.

You're the first person wanting to discuss the choice of wording.

Odd, I thought that was what TLKValentine stated in post 33 ("then you should have said that"); and even implied in previous posts, when he was responding to your actual words.

That is true but I think Trump & the RNC having thrown full support to Roy Moore is still going to be damaging next year.

Well, Donald threw in his support because he wanted to keep that Senate Seat, and he's not capable of thinking more than five minutes ahead. The rest of the RNC followed suit because Donald did it first, and they lost their spines when he won the election.
