    No, it doesn't say much for Trumptard Republicans in Alabama. A person with Einstein's brain and General Patton's leadership ability couldn't beat a death row serial child killer in Alabama but by a whisker if he had a (D) by his/her name.
    Your party has NO morals. Doesn't need any.

    Oh that’s not true. Republicans have values. Democrats values are they are embarrassed by all they have earned where as Republicans are proud of everything they have stolen.

    Those facts can be found in the turnout #'s.

    Man, how stupid is that? I thought you were all intellectually superior & all that? What an idiotic thing for you to say.
    That is also not true. It could be they just didn't want the pedophile in. 25% turnout is hardly a sign of a massive turnout. While it is certainly good for a special election, this particular election had massive amounts of coverage. Both the assault charges and the amount of coverage by the media could be the actual drivers of the turnout.

    Not saying you are wrong about there being a potential wave coming, but it most certainly is not a 'fact' either.

    The stupidity of your post is astounding. Democrats by and large want to be the takers, not the earners. Constantly harping on taking more from those that have been successful to give to those that haven't been.

    Not true, Democrats want us all to build a society where we all do something to take care of the economic losers, on a sliding scale sort of basis. And we don't trust private impulses to take the oars.
    If we use taxes to do it, we know it gets done. You appear to be in denial that in our system that generates such great wealth most of it goes to the few, and little to the rest. That's baked in just

    Honestly, it's one of the main reasons I don't consider myself a Democrat. I don't like the general attitude of the party when it comes to taxes - there is a cavalier disposition about raising them if we ever need to pay anything, and never a real commitment to addressing spending and finding other ways to increase efficiencies. I think Clinton was a lone exception to that in the '90's, and had to go that way to work w/ Congress.

    On the other hand, and this is a much deeper discussion, there IS a tremendous problem with the constantly growing gap between the haves and have nots. As the haves accumulate more political power (they basically run DC at this point), more policies favor them & create an even more uneven playing field. The tax plan right now is a perfect example of that. Sure, everyone gets a tax cut - but it's really smoke & mirrors for the lower classes. Something that the haves are trying to fool them with - "hey, look - your taxes are getting cut too!"

    But it will further increase the gap - of that there is no doubt. I don't believe in wealth redistribution, but I also see the growth of that gap as unsustainable and something that has to be addressed in some way. I don't have the answers on it, though.
