A Christms miracle: a Democrat wins in Alabama, sanity reigns!

 [It is hard to get too intoxicated by a slim victory over an atrocious candidate, a suspected sexual abuser with bigoted politics, but Alabama, the Senate and the nation will be a whole lot better off with Mr. Jones than with Roy Moore. Alabama's deep-red politics argued against Mr. Jones's chances.]     https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/opinion/roy-moore-loss-alabama.html


[If the result was a huge embarrassment for the President it was a similar blow for his former strategist, Steve Bannon, who had become one of Mr Moore’s most outspoken supporters and who was hoping to use what he believed would be a victory in Alabama, to drive the momentum for similar so-called insurgent campaigns in 2018.]
