Welcome to Trump's America, Marion County, Alabama, where the GOP chairman says that 32-year-old Roy Moore kissed a 14-year-old girl -- that's all, folks!


Alabama Republicans defend Roy Moore over allegations he had sexual contact with 14-year-old.  (Toronto Star, 11/9/2017)
“It was 40 years ago,” said Marion County chairman David Hall. “I really don’t see the relevance of it. He was 32. She was supposedly 14.” He added, incorrectly, “She’s not saying that anything happened other than they kissed.”

I wonder if David Hall likes the Crystals.



The Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me" debuted at #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending August 17, 1963.  The song spent 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at #6 for 3 weeks.

"He's embarrassing": Roy Moore has plenty of detractors in his home state


Focus on the straight red and blue lines.  Democrat Doug Jones trails GOP dingbat Roy Moore by just 4.7 percentage points.   (42.3% vs. 47.0%)  In Alabama!

For Alabama Women, Disgust, Fatigue and a Sense Moore Could Win Anyway.  (The New York Times, 11/10/2017)
Census statistics show that Alabama’s voting age population is, on balance, whiter, poorer and less educated than the nation’s. Like many other Republican candidates in statewide elections in the South, Mr. Moore draws much of his political strength from rural areas, which still have enormous clout. Still, 47 percent of the state’s active registered voters are concentrated in its seven most populous counties.

After 26 years in Congress, Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte is retiring but don't expect Democrats to flip this House seat


Not even close.  (Trump won this district by 24.8 percentage points.)

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte announces he's not running for re-election.  (CNN, 11/9/2017)
Goodlatte is 65.  "After much contemplation and prayer, we decided it was the right time for me to step aside and let someone else serve the Sixth District," Goodlatte wrote. "I will not seek re-election. With my time as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee ending in December 2018, this is a natural stepping-off point and an opportunity to begin a new chapter of my career and spend more time with my family, particularly my granddaughters."

Welcome to Trump's America: Snookered in Richland County, Wisconsin


Rural Wisconsin voters swung for Trump and change, but found frustration. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 11/10/2017)
At taverns, churches, bowling alleys and Legion halls, people here echo that discontent. Hillary Clinton voters are disconsolate and appalled by Trump. Trump voters who are happy with Trump are unhappy with Congress and Trump’s GOP critics. Trump voters who are critical of Trump — and they’re not too hard to find here — display everything from resignation to pique to exasperation with his behavior.
