"SNIP.......

A new McLaughlin and Associates poll in Alabama finds Katie Britt (R) leading Mo Brooks (R) in the Republican U.S. Senate runoff, 55% to 36%.

......SNIP"

1. And what is the significance of this? I can't say I follow Alabama closely... nt

[applegrove]

2. She can't be worse than Mo can she?

[WarGamer]

4. She's a more conventional "Chamber of Commerce" type GOP'er

[regnaD kciN]

10. ANY Republican...

…can be worse than the previous one.

[Septua]

12. She supports the Big Lie

If I was a Republican, I wouldn't support any candidate who thinks there was fraud with the 2020 election without some proof to confirm it; which doesn't exist. Britt is no different from the rest of the Republicans.

“I believe that there was fraud,” she told AL.com Wednesday. “I think you have to have a forensic audit. You have to give people peace and clear confidence that their vote is going to matter the next time.”

3. Trump endorsed Brooks

[TlalocW]

6. Didn't he rescind that endorsement

I thought he did

[WarGamer]

8. Dunno... haven't been following it closely...

If he did... it's even funnier that he backed away from endorsing a loser.

[Marcuse]

13. Brooks hinted about moving on from the Big Lie. TFG called him woke and pulled his endorsement.

7. Well then. nt

[TigressDem]

5. Is she a less crazy R than Mo? nt

[BlueCheeseAgain]

9. She seems like a run-of-the-mill conservative Republican.

She does praise TFG on her website, but not effusively. She has "election integrity" as one of the issues, but doesn't claim the 2020 election was stolen.

So I'm guess she's not crazy, but won't be a profile in courage either.

[TigressDem]

15. Across the isle, sounds a bit better though. nt

[eppur_se_muova]

16. She's not big on separation of Church and State, so maybe not much of an improvement.

She certainly praises LMcL plenty, but that could just be raw opportunism. Or maybe she really drank the KoolAid.

11. Oh ho! Consequences are setting in for one of the most...

visible insurrectionists, Rep. Brooks. Voters are kicking his ass and taking name off the general election ballot.

This could be predictor of other trumper candidate loses to come.

[crickets]

14. K&R for visibility.

[Polybius]

17. Katie Britt quote on election night in May:

“It is clear tonight that Alabamians want new blood. They want someone to go to Washington, D.C., and shake it up. It is clear that they want a true Christian conservative Republican who will lead on the America first agenda and doesn’t just talk about it but knows how to actually get something done,” Britt told supporters gathered in Montgomery.

18. In the long run, she's no different than Brooks

She doesn't come across as loony tunes as Brooks, but her votes will all be the same and she will push for the same policies and cultural positions.
