The fight back against Trump is now well under way. If the Democrats can win in a place like Alabama, they can win anywhere.

jno, Mikey is not renowned for giving best answers to people who disagree with him. Nice try though. ;o)

[jno]

which is exactly what I said.

[naomi24]

In that case he's contradicted himself and, hence, shot himself in the foot - which is what I said earlier.

Itchy.....lol at 19:41 !

[naomi24]

Mikey, nil points for your 'lol'. Unlike Trump, Corbyn is at least constant in his support of idiots.

This bickering between some abers in the news category is so boring and childish.

[naomi24]

anneasquith, I agree. Quite shocking. If I were you I wouldn't read it.

Interesting link from the BBC ::::

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-42345218/why-did-black-alabamians-vote-for-democrat-doug-jones

According the latest figures available, Blacks comprise only 26.2% of the Alabama population, against 68.5% of White voters. And yet, Democrat Doug Jones won the Alabama Senate seat with the help of 96% of the state's black voters. Without that turn-out, its unlikely that the Democrats would have won, given the narrow margin of victory.

Just shows what a divided country America is, especially in Alabama.

I know Kentucky has nothing to do with this Q, but I read a bried bit of news that a Kentucky politican has taken his own life having been accused of sex assault.
Will need to find a link and start a new thread.

Apologies for the digression and thank you for Bestie Mikey x

Alba....I think this is who you mean ::::

"Dan Johnson, a Republican politician in Kentucky who was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl, has died in an apparent suicide"
