>Had the WAPO and Allred published their hit just before the primary, enough voters might have said "hmm" and we might not be having these discussions now.


From your prior answer:
"It failed because Alabamans don't instantly hoover up whatever Allred and the MSM says, seeing this as just another condescending collusion by bubblers to control a flyover election. They responded accordingly"

If that's the case, he'd have won the primary even more resoundingly.

Let's face it. People vote for weird reasons.

I got an insight into how little I understand voters when Newt Gingrich won the presidential primary in South Carolina in 2012.

If anyone can contest Bill Clinton for all time slime ball honors, it's Newt Gingrich.
Nothing is below this man.
Roy Moore can't even play in the same league with Newt.
Tom Delay looked at Newt with envy.
Everyone in the world knew everything about him, but he walked away with the primary handily.
That's one I probably don't want to understand.

That said, there's hope that someday the lion will lie down with the lamb.
Second place in the QBE Shootout golf tournament went to the Irish team of Shane Lowry and Graham McDowell this past weekend.
Not a single person found it odd that while Shane is from Southern Ireland and Graham is from Northern Ireland, it was obvious that they're good buddies on the golf course.
Several decades ago, their ancestors might have been on either side of barricades.
Things change if people let them.
