Quote for the Day:

In many ways, the 2017 Alabama special election to replace Senator Jeff Sessions was a barometer of current racial politics in our two-party system. It was a gut check of what it would take to separate today’s Republicans from their party’s choice. Even given the choice of supporting an alleged child molester with a troubled, to say the least, history on race or a moderate Democrat, 68 percent of white Alabama voters stuck with the alleged child molester. Only African American voters, particularly African American women, saved Alabama from itself.
