RT @[email protected]: Weโve got to stop using this language that people voting for Roy Moore are being โbamboozled.โ These folks know exactly who & what theyโre voting for & they know exactly why theyโre doing it.
Iโm all for empathy, but letโs not be disingenuous.
Trump has no shame and no self-awareness.
RT @[email protected]: these two tweets back to back really paint a vivid picture of a man who totally respects women and would never treat them like subhumans
Roy Moore gets a coveted endorsement.

Treason for the season!

Fascinating. The robopolls have Moore way ahead, live-calling polls have Jones way ahead, in general. A major difference is that robopolls are prohibited by law from calling cell phones. And, cell phone users apparently favor Jones by 30% (!).
Bottom line: keep up the good work in Alabama, folks. There's no way of knowing how it will turn out.
Nate Silver gives his opinion, which is that Jones has ~30% chance of winning. But, of course, that's what Trump had in aggregate polls last year!
