8 numbers out of Alabama that should terrify Republicans
http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/13/politics/alabama-exit-poll-analysis/index.html1. Moore won only among old(er) voters
2. Moms walked away from Moore
3. Moderates fell for Jones
4. Trump approval was blah
5. Jones played Moore to a draw on values
6. The Democratic Party is more popular than the Republican party
7. Republicans are increasingly only a rural party
8. Black voters are incredibly energized
