Right. Dems will need to just suck it up.

This is just typical "when they go low, we go high" bull**** that's the reason that we are in this whole mess in the first place. No more of that crap.
No. It would open any of them up to challenges. Imagine the attack ads. Political suicide.

Grunching a bit but I think McConnell et al would have stuck with the innocent until proven guilty line a lot longer if Moore was an establishment guy. But McConnell needed a spot to take a stand against the Bannon wing. I don't think Moore has much chance of serving in the senate at this point, but I'm not extremely bullish on Jones either. Still, that the Ds have a realistic chance to steal an AL senate seat is exciting.

It is entirely possible that McConnell and the GOP leadership knew about this all along (including potentially Trump) which would explain why they spent millions to defeat Moore and Trump didn't endorse him despite his MAGA qualities. Like did they really think having *gasp* a really big racist in their party leadership would damage their rep enough to warrant that kind of spending? Or could they have been afraid of something more damaging? I would say /tinfoil, but it really doesn't seem that implausible to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was true.

Honestly, nothing surprises me with this administration and the GOP.

I posted this theory back on page 3. I was told it doesn't make sense because they would have just outed him in the primary. Which is a solid point, but I could see them keeping it underwraps because regardless it coming out damages the republicans PR wise.

Edit: Ponied.

I think if they had that info and wanted to defeat him, they'd have leaked it during the primary. Their problem with Moore isn't that he's a huge racist etc, it's that he's a loose cannon who is not under the control of the establishment. It's the same reason they didn't want Trump.

Lol, it's rumors in the New Yorker, but still good stuff.

I agree. If they did know, they had to have in the back of their minds the disaster scenario where they dump their oppo showing Moore's pedophilia and the aggressively rubish primary voters vote to nominate him anyway. The Republican leadership knows how scummy (or should I say "deplorable") their core voters are and how that can be a big liability if it draws too much mainstream, national attention.

I think it's more likely they had heard a lot of rumors, but didn't have definitive proof... I have to imagine the GOP knows what's going on in the rumor mill in Alabama, of all places.

If they knew for a fact, they could have leaked it during the primary, OR the party could have dumped him outside the 76 day window...

True, but 30 million is an insane amount to defeat someone who'd possibly be a loose cannon. He still likely votes for everything Trump wants

Also, considering this tweet



I don't think it's far fetched a lot of Republican government officials were also aware of this and had heard rumblings of these even worse allegations. Like, they probably didn't have the proof that WaPo dug up, but they had probably heard the stories from people who worked with Moore back then. So they didn't have the proof to flat out expose him like WaPo, and decided to try and defeat him in case the allegations came to light and spent an insane amount of money to do so.

Edit: Damn you cuse.

No way, this would have come out int he primaries if they had known.

I would because Trump can be expected to have a bunch of advisors telling him to endorse Roy Moore.

Teresa Jones, who said she worked at the Etowah County District Attorney's Office with Moore, took to Twitter on Friday to say it was "common knowledge" that he pursued teenage girls.

"As a Deputy DA in Gadsden when Roy Moore was there, it was common knowledge about Roy's propensity for teenage girls," she tweeted. "I'm appalled that these women are being skewered for the truth."

He said that growing up in Gadsden, he'd heard rumors about Moore. Last week, he posted on Facebook a defense of Corfman. He said that even as a middle-schooler in Gadsden he'd heard stories from people he knew about Moore's behavior making them uncomfortable.
Dude was basically the town creeper

So I guess Moore stopped taking teens to the woods once one of them let him put a ring on it since we surprisingly haven't heard of any post-marriage teens.

Check this dude out. If you want to strengthen your case prob best not to put the guy who has bodies buried in the basement on the magic tv machine.
