"Methinks of the old adage that a fool and his money are quickly parted." Truer words have never been spoken but I
think I made the best best I ever made on Kamala Harris to win it all early on. The odds as you mentioned on Harris are now
10-1 she's a co-favorite with Warren to be the Democratic nominee. I got odds on Harris at 40 to 1. So many possibilities.
I'm counting my chickens already.

At the risk of assuming some hubris I'd evoke the classical Greek Chorus here, which is to remember the oddsmakers were still strong on Hillary on the morning of November 8, 2016. Same as the pollsters.

I voted for Sen. Warren in her election and reelection and I endorse virtually everything she says and does. That said however I do think her personal manner is on the whiny complaining side with some singsonging besides. Sen. Harris is a two-fer being black and a woman. She's recent to national politics and government and she travels lightly with almost no baggage. At this point however I keep the deed to the farm inside the wall safe behind the painting of President Clinton II. Besides, if it might happen to be Potus Pence in 2020 he'd be the odds-on favorite going away. Still we have to get through the 2018 election outcomes first before we can become grounded in the realistic possibilities going into 2020.

Meanwhile I continue to maintain that Roy Moore getting elected is a Godsend to the good guyz. Speaking frankly here if Moore wins I will thank personally every Santa I see this year. If Moore wins we got nothing to lose in it and after it if you know what I mean.

' Sen. Harris is a two-fer being black and a woman.' Let's make that a three-fed as Senator Harris mother was born in Indai.
She primarily because of her ethnicity will bring back the voters of Indian ancestry to the Democratic fold.

'Generating a new Republican Indian-American voting bloc' by Sameer Targe | May 16, 2017,

'On November 9, Hindu Americans supported Trump with a resounding, and perhaps pivotal, 65 percent of their votes.
The 2016 presidential race saw the birth of a powerful Republican Indian-American voting bloc, reversing a long
history of Democratic loyalty.

The 2010 Census pegged the U.S. Asian Indian population at over 2.8 million, a ten-year growth of 69 percent
that makes this one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the nation.'
 
Doug Jones needs to admit to having sexual relations with a farm animal. He'll romp home!

All of India would need to move into California to make it red. Maybe.

Conversely a billion Chinese not showing up for Trump can't be wrong...

Clinton won 80% of the Asian American vote according to a sophisticated multi-language exit poll by the American Asian Legal Defense and Education Fund....

Clinton's support was closer to winning four-in-five Asian-American voters (79 percent) with just 18 percent for Trump. AALDEF used questionnaires written in English and 11 Asian languages including Chinese, Bengali, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, plus volunteers who could speak 23 Asian languages and dialects.

At 18 percent, Trump fared slightly worse with the Asian-American vote than Mitt Romney, who won 21 percent in 2012, and John McCain, who won 23 percent in 2008, according to previous exit polling by AALDEF.

But the Republican-Democratic split last year remained fairly similar compared to those of the last two presidential elections, proving once again that Asian-Americans as a whole vote for Democratic candidates in national elections. Clinton received her strongest support from South Asian-American voters, including those of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indo-Caribbean and Indian descent.

Trump is too late. The anti-immigrant right needed Trump and his Ma and Pa Kettle voters coming out 20 years ago if not further back in time and events. Trump's Great Wall would only mimic China's Great Wall, i.e., symbolizing failure. Trump Republicans need to take the lesson of China over the ages that closing up the place is a guarantee of isolation and misery. India's economy is busting out all over while the economy of the CCP Boyz in Beijing is grinding down to real growth of 2% to 4% at best. It's grim which is why Xi Jinping is building an additional new police station every several blocks everywhere.

9:00AM 952 Field wins Alabama special election +250
 
If we start taking accusations as a crime we're walking a very slippery slope. You'd better be able to prove someone guilty before trying to take away their livelihood.

You uncover strong evidence that the CFO is embezzling from the company. Do you:
Fire him right away, or
Wait until there is a trial?

Define strong evidence, some minor employee from20 years in the past, doesn't cut it. You crack open the books and take a look, if you can substantiate any claim you fire that ceo. Or in todays corp. climate, you fire after giving a golden parachute.

credible evidence, plausibly uncovering wrongdoing. Short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, but strong enough that you don't want to take a chance on keeping the CFO as he just might bankrupt the company.

Let's be clear, my suspicion is the guys a creep (read criminal) but imagine someone from your past after a bad break up thought a way to get even would be to cry rape. How do you save face, how do you disprove that claim?

Then there is this:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/27/us/washington-post-roy-moore-project-veritas.html

My suspicion is that the guy's a creep as well. I'd rather not have suspected creeps representing me in Congress even if it could possibly come out that he was accused unfairly. We're not talking about locking the guy up, after all, just not electing him to high office.

and your link is interesting. A woman tries to bait the Washington Post into writing a story critical of Moore, but fails due to their own investigation into her story. To me, that gives more credibility to the WAPO.

and it isn't just one person coming forward with accusations, it is many people coming forward.

People have lost elections on much flimsier evidence than that.
 
The year book "accuser" has admitted to forging evidence. That means. legally speaking, she does not accuse him with "clean hands". Forty years is a long time for a witness to remember evidence, especially if no extremely memorable violation took place. If she'd had a baby, and the baby has Moore's DNA, and the baby is now 40, that's one thing. If she thinks he showed her his willy 40 years ago, she might be confusing him with a dream or with someone else or with a movie.
 
A man who calls native Americans and Asians "Reds and Yellows" and calls the slavery period the time America was great the last time. Not after WW2 when the greatest generation lived, no when slaves were still being held was "the last time the US was great", at least according to Roy Moore.

What a winner, a man who loves underage and barely legal girls in his 30's, who gets banned from the mall (allegedly), who uses the words "reds and yellows" when talking about Asians and Native Americans, who thinks the slavery time was the best time for the US in the last 150 years and who thinks same sex marriage is worse than slavery.
