    Yes, continue citing a state that did not flip any statewide seats as a rebuttal to the possible future actions of statewide office holders in other states where other statewide offices were flipped. perhaps you’d also like to convince me that my friend in Arizona won’t like switching from English breakfast tea to Irish breakfast tea because you only have coffee in Louisiana.

      I cite it because I lived there for decades and saw it retreat farther into the republican camp.

      Just as you cite Texas as it rejects the republicans.

        My dude that is my fucking point. Ohio and Kansas are not Alabama! The elections in those states booted at least one statewide Republican last night, which did not happen in Alabama. So perhaps you could recognize that it’s not delusional to think that the surviving statewide Republicans in Ohio and Kansas, neither of which are Alabama, might respond differently to the staunch and safe Republicans in Alabama, perhaps even to the point of voting less staunchly Republican in the next two years so as to bring back some of the formerly Republican voters who broke Democratic last night.
