First Virginia, now Alabama. The left will celebrate this as a rejection of Trump and the GOP.
What the defeat of Roy Moore does not prove "Democrats and the media are busy today furiously spinning the results of the Alabama Senate race where Republican Roy Moore was beaten by Democrat Doug Jones by about 20,000 votes.
Why Moore’s loss is a bad sign for Trump in 2020 . . . "What’s even more significant for the Democrats is that Doug Jones won in a highly red state that Donald Trump won by well over twenty points. This is huge for the Democrats moving forward to the next Presidential election and will play the biggest part in their strategy to defeat President Trump." . . .

What Doug Jones’ victory over Roy Moore really means for Washington (and America) in 2018 . . . "Surely, Jones emboldens Democrats to compete in states like Nevada, where Republicans are potentially now vulnerable. To succeed, the Democrats will need more than a message of resistance or opposition. They will need a centrist, pro-growth agenda of their own.
"While Jones’ victory is significant for the Democratic Party because it narrows the Republicans’ leadership margin in the Senate entering 2018, the more pernicious consequences from the election are those facing the Republican Party." . . .
Trolling, probably:
To Both Parties, Moore's Loss Is a Potential Win for 2018 "Doug Jones’ victory over scandal-plagued Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s Senate special election delivered a gut punch to Donald Trump, putting the president’s legislative agenda -- and the GOP’s already tenuous grip on the upper chamber -- in jeopardy. Once Jones is seated early next year, Republicans will hold just a perilous 51-49 majority. And while Democrats’ path is narrow, their upset victory in Alabama gives them a shot at gaining control in 2018.
"But Republicans who opposed Moore have characterized the loss as a longer-term gain for the party. In a sign of the cockeyed dynamics of the race, some are breathing sighs of relief as they no longer face the liabilities that were sure to come if the alleged sexual predator became their colleague. Some GOPers are also pointing fingers at former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who championed Moore through the election." . . .

"It's a catastrophe for Republicans. It's a mortal blow to Donald Trump. It validates the Democratic strategy to nationalize a local election. Doug Jones is the second coming of Bill Clinton.
"Well, maybe not. But what fun would it be to present the illusion that Democrats don't have to do very much to win in 2018 - just sit back and let the press destroy Trump and the Republicans?" . . .

Point #3 is: "Write-ins could have decided the race." . . .
Alabama’s new Democrat senator: An avoidable disaster . . . "The Republican governor Robert Bentley appointed Luther Strange to replace Jeff Sessions. Bentley had ethical problems of his own and resigned. The replacement Republican Governor, Kay Ivey, then chose to hold a special election to fill the seat this year. Ivey could have allowed Strange to hold the seat until November 2018, the next federal election date." . . .
