Jeff Flake. For using Trump's favorite medium to poke the bear and then win.

To be fair, so is having a chainsaw sword as your primary weapon and a flame thrower mounted on your codpiece. The tabletop wargame this image is a reference to, Warhammer 40,000, has never been about smart tactics, just fun tactics - and named characters having their heads covered definitely falls into the former category.

I quite agree. If it hadn't been for Moore's perversity, he would have easily won.

That being said, it's already been rightly pointed out by conservatives that the short-term pain of losing that one seat in Alabama was worth the long-term gain (or at least the long-term lot-less-pain) of rejection of Bannonism/Trumpism. By losing, the GOP took a bullet...but dodged a much, much bigger bullet.

It's gonna take more than one Senate seat to put that down, mark my words.

Edit: Well **** me, there's no topping that allusion to Rasputin's execution. Well done, Unitedwestand13.

It was the best reference I could come up with of something refusing to go away.

I could say it was like the main villain in men in Black 2, who had 4 scenes or situations where she should have died, but she came back 4 times until finally being ended for good.

Eeugh, how about no? Rasputin was way better than that. History always trumps movies.

You are right, history provides better examples than fictional movies.

It just doesn't have the same weight or feel to it. Comparing an ideology to an insane mystic who (allegedly, I don't actually buy the claims of how hard he was to kill) damn near wouldn't die is just better than comparing it to a tentacled titty monster from a comedy/action movie.

The only reason I brought it up was because in a funny review of the film, by the time of the 4th fake death and return to life the critic was yelling “why won’t you die!”

While stopping Trump seems less of an achievement to me, as that seemed quite natural, if Democrats actually came to grips with why the lost against only 25 percent. Therefore it is only of passing interest that they won here.

That it was over an alleged sex scandal they won is notable.
That it was achieved with massive and continuous ad hominem mud slinging from virtually the whole media establishment is noteworthy.
That it was not achieved over policy debate but populist portrayal of policy is scary.

you do realize Trump won the presidency not based on policy, but attacks on everyone who ran against him, right?
