What does it say about our country that people like Roy Moore, Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz are so easily able to win seats as Senators? SMH.

Trump's net approval among the registered voters polled is only +1 in this one. I checked two polls of Alabaman registered voters in the last few days of September, which are the last two polls I know of before this one, and back then they gave him a net approval of +10 and +13.
9/27 - 9/28: Opinion Savvy: Moore 50, Jones 44
9/30 - 10/1: JMC Analytics: Moore 48, Jones 40

It's a tease like some of the special elections in red districts earlier this year. Don't get your hopes up. It's Alabama. Still, a close loss might be a good sign for 2018.
Unfortunately it's Alabama and his biggest professional achievement (prosecuting the bombers) could be a net negative because of the nature of the state.
It's an outlier, to be sure, but the fact that the seat is even what could be described as competitive in Alabama is enough of a reason to vote and donate if one can to Doug Jones' campaign since one of the common issues the polls are raising is that Jones has a bit of an issue with name recognition. Moore is a vile piece of trash but he's a vile piece of trash that people know about (and underperformed in a previous vote for a judicial position in the same state compared to what he was polling at).
It's just one poll, but I'm wondering if Donald has done something to piss off Alabamans specifically in the two weeks since then. His approval rating nationally has gone down a few points in that time as well. Or, since he held a rally there in late September, I wonder if that was a temporary bump.
Probably more to do with the fact that approval ratings generally become lower the longer someone has been in office than anything else. His approval rating in Alabama is still above the overall net negative he has as of now.
It's the Trump effect.

Come on Mr. Jackpots!
What's worse is that he fancies himself as anti-establishment, when he's been a career crooked judge who's been tossed to the dogs multiple times for laying waste to the Constitution.
Come on Mr. Jackpots!
If we're lucky Alabama will help Dougie. Alternatively can we get a real life Mitchum Bros?.
Doug Jones would absolutely win in MO. Kander SHOULD had won but was brought down by the presidential ticket. I wish he would run for governor.

Fuck the nuance, we need actual wins.
This. Osoff losing was demoralizing. Yeah, it was a nice swing to Dems, but we didn't win. I don't want a swing. I want a win in Alabama. The GOP must lose their right to govern. Putting Dems in the majority will do that.
According to Roy Moore, it's, "against the law" to not stand for allegiance while the national anthem is played.
