The race for Alabama Senate is getting heated as for president Obama sends robocalls to people, imploring them to go to the polls. He also promoted Doug Jones, one of the candidates. The other candidate, Roy Moore, has been accused molesting women when they were teenagers and he was in his 30's, There was also a  case of sexual assault. Obama doesn't mention Moore by name, but he was indirected. Even though Obama sent this out, Trump has made a statement in Florida saying that having Moore in the White will be vital in making America great again. Alabama, who is known for being a ruby red state is at quite a crossroads. It also should be mentioned that Doug Jones is pro-choice, which put voters in distress. They have to choose between a child molester or a pro-choice man. In my opinion, there is no choice, but many will be incredibly disappointed in Alabama is Moore wins.
This can be related back to the early to 1800's where political parties where beginning to form and people point of views were changing much to the people's hopes today for the Alabama voters to choose Democrat instead of the Republican candidate.

  1. I think it's crazy that people even have to think about which candidate is better. 1 is a child molester and the other is pro-choice. You'd think they'd choose Jones because Moore is obviously terrible, but they probably won't.
