9. So is she worse than Brooks ?

More importantly, can she win ?

P/S thank you for the reply. I don't own a telly, so DU is often the first time I hear about things.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

13. That's not promising.

[misanthrope]

16. Who waged a culture war laden, Trump beholden campaign

Her votes will be the same as Brooks. Even worse, because she's less outright odious than Brooks, she'll be able to run the grift better. Just like her mentor Richard Shelby.

[bottomofthehill]

22. Unfortunately, it's Alabama. It's the best we can hope for

[BlueCheeseAgain]

23. She's a Republican in Alabama.

She'll win.

Is she worse than Brooks? Probably not. But she'll still probably be one of the most conservative members of the Senate.

[ShazzieB]

41. That's just it.

She sounds too Trumpy to be an improvement. But what can we expect? It's Alabama.

[Amishman]

42. Yup, another Alabama republican. Just younger and with a pretty face

I would have hoped for perhaps slightly better stances on women's issues, but Barrett cured me of such delusions.

Oh well.

[cilla4progress]

2. Yay!

[USALiberal]

3. Most posters provide a little more information or a paragraph! Nt

[AllyCat]

33. Especially when it links to a site asking for

a lot of personal information just to read the article.

[Torchlight]

40. lol ok! nt

[Ocelot II]

4. Since TFG endorsed his opponent, I assume that person must be just as bad.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. My fear is the winner who, by many accounts, could be worse

[Dave says]

8. It would be hard to be worse

But likely to be just as bad.

7. Mo Brooks lost his primary, new Trump toady Katie Britt wins in Alabama

Source-https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/21/us/politics/katie-britt-mo-brooks.html
snip-"...Ms. Britt positioned herself as a formidable competitor with savvy political skills who persistently tried to convince Mr. Trump that she deserved his endorsement instead.

In March, Mr. Trump gave Ms. Britt half of what she wanted, withdrawing his endorsement of Mr. Brooks — at that point far behind in the polls — because, he said, the far-right congressman had gone “woke.” Then, this month, with Ms. Britt clearly on track to prevail, the former president backed her, seemingly in an attempt to pad his endorsement record.

Ten months after her brief exchange with Mr. Trump last August, Ms. Britt claimed victory in the Republican primary runoff for Alabama’s open Senate seat on Tuesday, capping a hard-fought campaign for her party’s nomination against Mr. Brooks. In a state with a deep-seated conservative bent, she is all but assured of winning in the general election in November."

more at source.

[stopdiggin]

14. thank you. that provides a much better picture

of Trumps actual 'involvement' in the campaign. (which, if not negligible - was certainly a good deal less that advertised)

[calimary]

29. WHEN did Mo Brooks ever go "woke"?

[Cheezoholic]

31. This morning? lol n/t

[calimary]

36. Maybe woke - up. With a hangover?

Our DINO Congressman got shown the door in the Oregon primary, too. Good riddance! He never saw a Republican he didn't like. That certainly leaves this constituent out.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. I expected this. She has spent so much money to be a Senator. She will be in the pocket of

every special interest that bought her.

[misanthrope]

18. She is a Richard Shelby acolyte

Check out his net worth -- $25 million -- and you get the picture.

[dem4decades]

15. Yeah, same horse, different name.

[Bluethroughu]

17. Hopefully in...

Jail, soon.

[Hassler]

19. That's okay, he might be busy in a courtroom.

[AllyCat]

34. Just wondering if TDFG had to back someone who didn't help

him with a coup?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. Yeah

[Historic NY]

21. No mo brooks

[oasis]

24. Less Brooks.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Brooks was here.

[AllyCat]

35. Yes!

[calimary]

37. And soon enough it'll be Brooks USED TO BE here!

Looking forward to that!

[lees1975]

25. It's Alabama, though its not a sure thing

even there you can find Republicans who are over Trump. Every Trumpie that doesn't win means more Republicans are likely to stay home on election day and that's a good thing.

Brooks is too much of a coward to put out the word that he's mad and won't support Britt now that she won.

This one might actually be closer than we think. If it was in another state, the DNC would probably invest some resources.

[Willto]

27. I'm From Alabama

Don't read anything into the fact that Trump endorsed her. In a move typical of Trumps shady ass he only endorsed Britt when polls came out that pretty much showed her as a lock to win. Kind of like placing a bet on a football game in the 4th quarter when one team is up by 21. Easier to pick a winner and make yourself look good that way.

However voting wise she will be no better than Brooks I'm afraid.

[elleng]

28. 'Thanks.'

[uponit7771]

38. +1,

[Crowman2009]

43. I think the decision was more based on mysogyny than looking at the polls.

This is the orange bastard we're talking about here. He only makes judgements based on either looks, or whatever gets his racist rocks off. Plus Mo Brooks didn't have boobs, and the pervy prick Trumps that over any old white male racist fellatio.

[Initech]

30. Yeah but now we have another MAGA shithead to deal with.

[Ferrets are Cool]

39. It was gonna be a MAGA shithead no matter which one won.

His signs didn't say MAGA MO for nothing.

[AverageJoe]

32. Business as Usual in Alabama

Katie Britt:
a piece of shit

She’s Trump endorsed,
fears God, of course.

Loves humping guns —
Oh, Lord! What fun!

Kidd shot in school? Who cares?
We need artillery in case of bears.

The MAGAts do as they’re directed.
Bet your ass she’ll be elected.
