Roy Moore, a former State Supreme Court chief justice, defeated Senator Luther Strange on Tuesday in the Republican runoff to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. Mr. Moore will face the Democratic nominee, Doug Jones, a former United States attorney, in the general election on Dec. 12.
Odds are that Moore is going to easily defeat Jones, since this is super red state Alabama we are talking about.
By the way in case you missed it Moore's acceptance speech was like listening to an old time tent revival, where he talked about God, and country, and God, and the Senate, and God, and then just to break the monotony, talked about God some more.
This guy is going to make Jeff Sessions look like some liberal, Richard Dawkins quoting, atheist.
The Senate is about to get an injection of that old time religion, whether they are ready for it or not.
For his part Donald Trump seemed embarrassed that he was supporting the relatively sane candidate.
So he performed a little revisionist Twistory.

Oh Donald, if it were this easy to change history don't you think we would have gone back and changed the outcome of that last election by now? Silly rabbit.
