In the meantime, Democrats might want to shelve some of their Alabama-related smugness. To a significant segment of the population, their party is so unpalatable that people will vote for a guy who once, while dressed like a dime-store cowboy, halfheartedly whipped out a gun at a rally and almost pointed it at the crowd. Instead of their candidate, who is largely known for his abortion fandom, Alabama voters will likely elect a person who claimed that there was Sharia law “in Illinois, Indiana — up there, I don’t know,” sometimes seems confused about basic legal concepts despite his decadeslong career in the law, has somehow focused our national discussion on the propriety of adults dating minors, and reportedly was once almost banned from a shopping mall.
