I would honestly not be surprised if Trump doesn't even remember Strange existed.

I think his response will be:

1) Making excuses. Probably about how write in votes are bad or something. He definitely won't blame Moore being a pedophile out of fear it will leave himself open to sexual harassment claims.
2) Completely ignoring he ever supported Moore at all. Possibly even just ignoring Alabama had an election.
3) Saying everything about Moore was made up and blaming the media for misleading voters. (This one's most likely)

The mistake you're making is dividing them into three different possibilities instead of going with all of them. Cuz he's gonna do all three.

All the Alabama / Deep South Goons have to be thrilled. This thread, the country, the whole world has been making GBS threads on Alabama for weeks, insisting they’d elect a pedophile. But they didn’t! Alabama organized, they registered voters in a state famous for making it hard, and they TURNED THE gently caress OUT at obscene levels. You get to be proud of Alabama today.

It always mattered, hope is the truth, and ALL ABOARD FOR BLUE JUSTICE.

You're a national treasure Fancy, I mean that in all sincerity.

Yeah, as a young (30 is still young gently caress you) white person, we need to help each other because we aren't enough to stop our lovely parents from dragging us all to hell. Thank you black people for coming out and saving us all. Our parents really are just the worst.

I know that the thing I'm going to push for now is ground game and helping minorities overcome voter suppression because results don't lie. We've never needed to sway R voters, we've needed to remove the obstacles they put in the way for allies to make it to the polls.

quote:

I swear these dumbass young Dems would cut off their own dick if the media told them it would be good for them. Do they not realize why they have a job? It's because of business owners. Every democrat is bleeding small business dry with their regulations for what? Because the Democrat party is in the pockets of big business. That's why Walmart Amazon every loving big business is Liberal Democrat. If they don't pass this tax bill I'm going to sell my business to a large corporation and say gently caress it to my ungrateful ducking employees. I pay well, I give you time off whenever you need it, I do special things for you, I bend over backwards to make YOUR life easier. For what? So I can work 80 hours a week, stress out when we go through a slow period, drive a lovely car, single because I work to much, rent a house all the while you sip your starbuck lattes in your new cars talking about your kids new personal trainer for their club league. gently caress this. You see those websites that say Top 10 best Jobs well go make one that says Top 10 Worst Jobs and put business owner at the top of the list. I swear if I get one more goddamn Letter from the IRS telling me I own them more money I may just close that motherfucker down.
Sorry I need to rant where people can see it

Or you know .. let’s face the reality. Nasty attacks work on “muh conservative values” cucks. Today’s loss is on every republican that stayed home.

Probably... not. The energized African American vote was an obvious and major part of Jones coalition, but it isn't a new voting block in Alabama. To put it another way, with the democratic base and however many Republican defectors, they received almost 100% of Clinton's vote total, which is great for a special election but elides the fact Clinton got about half the votes of Trump in Alabama. There are a lot of lovely white people in Alabama who simply didn't turn out to vote tonight but will in the future.

It could, and hopefully will, definitely impact local races, but statewide it would require a larger and more permanent shift, probably among college educated whites, to truly change Alabama politics.
