All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

I bet Mitch/Sessions are at home having a cocktail and a laugh.

Or they have to double-check to make sure that Susan Collins is still on board with their tax plan,and that no one else defects when the bill returns to the Senate from the House. It's not all good news for them.

Best line I've seen on twitter yet: "Roy Moore liked the night when it was much younger."

[Gray Lensman]

Associated Press, Fox News, and Politico are calling it for Jones... holy S**T!!

I have but two things to say about that.

And Fox News is no longer talking about the election and focusing on the guy who got booted from the Muller investigation. I smell sore loooooooseeeeerrrrs.

They also did throw in for a kiddy diddler AFTER doing the right thing in pulling their support at first. Moore losing doesn't let them off from this or that.

Oh, man. Could be.

You're talking "Business". I'm talking "Personal".

"The "Yoda" of the campaign."

Priceless.

So this win gets him 2 years, right?

Run candidates everywhere.

He's filling out the rest of Sessions' term. He'll be up for re-election in 2020.

How people should feel about a pedophile not getting elected to the Senate:

He's not going to run back to the mic to say "Roll Tide!"?

Trump tweets...

Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!

No way in hell he wrote this.

[JCAll]

Seeing video of the campaign headquarters, Jones gives a great speech. I really like the guy.
Moore seems to be holding a wake.
And Trump give a very mellow tweet. Which isn't what I expected.

[Tazirai]

Finally, there are some actually decent people in Alabama. Jones had better prove to the people he deserved their votes.
He ran a lacklustre campaign at the start, then he got the Progressive streak at the middle and kept it going to the end.
Good job sir.

Look at how close this Election was...

THIS is why it's SOOOO very important to vote. The ONLY way we can actually stop the GOP is to outvote them.

He won tonight, because there are reachable Republicans and Conservatives, the rest can't be talked to. Just gotta outvote 'em.
