Breaking! Alabama special election goes to RUNOFF….

by SooperMexican

Sean Hannity and Mark Levin’s choice for the Alabama special election didn’t make it to the runoff, but Donald Trump’s establishment choice did.

From Politico:

Former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore and Sen. Luther Strange advanced to a Republican primary runoff in Alabama’s special Senate race, which will put President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s political clout on the line in September.

Moore had 41 percent of the vote and Strange — who was backed by Trump and McConnell — had 32 percent when the Associated Press called the race. Rep. Mo Brooks trailed at 20 percent. Alabama election laws call for the top two primary finishers to compete in a runoff if no candidate gets a majority.

Despite the weighty endorsements, Strange has been locked in fierce competition with the other Republican hopefuls this summer. He leaned hard into Trump’s endorsement to try to make a show of strength in the first round and close in on Moore.

Well. That happened. It was actually buried under the outrage over Trump’s presser.

And there’s this guy:

Who’s probably gonna lose.
