.....and under the weight of abhorrence from the young voters in Alabama enough white women voters to make a difference and formidable black votes at 98% women for Doug Jones while black men voted 93% for Jones.
Of course, there were other factors which stand as allegations and growing disenchantment with a president who seems far out of his zone of effectiveness (his family and his businesses). Lest we forget another area of possible (maybe probable) comfort and acuity Interaction with Russian money brokers.

A Moore talking head also finds himself stuck with a major case of mental constipation when faced with facts.
Watch as Trump's number two presstitute and number one Presser disses a question from a long term and very credible White House Press Corp reporter. While not related to Moore, the act of dissing the reporter speaks volumes about Trump and his cabal
