Dana Hall McCain: Mo Brooks’ bitter farewell

This is an opinion column

But when you’ve been in politics since Jesus was a boy, and you go into election night down 20+ points by most estimates, you’re not suffering from “loss shock” when you take the platform to concede. Mo Brooks wasn’t stunned when Tuesday’s run-off was called in Britt’s favor. He was just bitter. Those businesses and farmers--who employ countless Alabamians, keeping the economic lifeblood of our state flowing and keeping us fed--have that right. If Mo wanted to be able to raise money from the titans of Alabama industry and agriculture, he should have done a better job of building a resume that earned their confidence.

That commitment to grassroots politics gave Britt a toehold from which to start moving the polling needle. Her in-state fundraising allowed her to buy ads and billboards that increased her familiarity with Alabama voters. And then the foundation of Brooks’ whole campaign cracked: as Britt’s stock rose and Brooks’ numbers cratered, Donald Trump began to fall out of love.

dhmccain I wish I knew how you really felt, lol.

dhmccain LES PHILLIP was my first choice for that seat back in 2010 ... look him up and you'll see why

dhmccain That scene from “a few good men” comes to mind.

dhmccain This comedic piece is gold! Laughed out loud several times. Well done.

dhmccain Mo and Roy should just head off to Cabo...

dhmccain No falls into the third group.

dhmccain An end to another embarrassment for Alabama. Join Roy Moore and just go the Eff away. Far away.

dhmccain Well, look at the upside, ALabama is finally through with this clown RepMoBrooks after 40 years. But he’ll probably be running for something soon.

dhmccain lol bye

dhmccain

dhmccain Entitled and bitter? That's just the Republican way.

dhmccain I don’t blame him. McConnell bought another Senator. And I just don’t agree with Trump on this one.

dhmccain 😂
