Seems better for the Democrats to run another Republican pedophile to split the evangelical vote and let the other Republican write ins win.

I know this doesn't make much sense but neither does Democrats running a Republican in the first place.

Its exploitable. Republican primaries are already about nominating the worst possible person, making that correct is prob the worst thing we can do.

Democrats run another Republican pedophile to split the evangelical vote and then have a pedophile write in. Three way cage match decides best pedo.

alabama is worse than pakistan. radicalized religious nuts are running the show using intimidation and violence

Gg mitch. You took your stand (although quite like a cuck), but the deplorables overran the wall. It's bannons party now. Might as well clean out your desk.

There's just no other explanation for the RNC supporting Moore again other than they realized he had a real chance to win. right? I can't think of anything else compelling.

Getting a guy with a lot of baggage elected is the best possible scenario for the behind the scenes power players in the party. Such a guy is potentially quite useful.

The teen ****ing has sort of overshadowed how Moore is an absolutely insane person who, even before the kid stuff came out, was probably the least qualified major party Senate nominee in decades. He's an out-and-out theocrat and believes chain emails, he's racist, he doesn't think women should be allowed to hold public office, etc. etc. etc.


So yeah, stefan, if that's the plan I think the power players are gonna be quite upset to discover that Moore isn't going to be a malleable pawn. He's going to make Ted Cruz look like a good party soldier.

Fly:

I think the [GOP] power players already know that Moore is not going to be a malleable pawn. The big problem with Roy Moore is that he actually believes all his theocratic BS. (If Moore thought he could get away with it, he would erect a Ten Commandments monument in the rotunda of the Capitol and dare the Supreme Court to order that it be removed.) There are numerous other idiotic antics that we can count on from a "Senator Moore".

Being the self respecting "librul" that I am, I'm not giving up hope that Doug Jones will come out on top next Tuesday. (I will be voting for Jones. I hope a majority of my fellow Alabamians are planning likewise.) This may be more "wishful thinking" than cold hard reality, but I have a feeling this election is closer than people generally believe - and the polls are indicating. Thanks to all the underage "sex stuff" about Moore, this election is getting a lot of attention. I have a feeling all this attention is going to drive a large voter turnout. Hopefully, a large turnout will work more in Doug Jones favor than Roy Moore's favor. I also believe a certain percentage of Republicans, (let's say maybe 1-in-5), are going to cross over and vote for Doug Jones. Plus, the write-in candidate, Colonel Busby, may pull a small fraction of votes from Moore - maybe 1-2 percent of the total votes cast. I have a feeling more women voters will vote for Doug Jones than those who will vote for Roy Moore. Add all these factors up, and I believe (I hope) all this will add up to a Doug Jones victory.

Looking at this election from a purely [national] win/loss perspective, it will be better [long term] for the GOP if Moore loses. If he wins, every stupid bonehead thing he says (and does) will only serve to further drag the GOP down in 2018 and 2020. The only reason both Trump and Mitch McConnell have reversed course and decided to wholeheartedly back Moore is because they desperately want his vote on tax reform. (It would be hilarious if Moore gets in and decides to stuff it up Trump and McConnell's a** by voting against [so called] tax reform.)

The GOP already has someone spouting boneheaded crap on Twitter and in media scrums daily. The GOP sees putting up with his shenanigans/baggage and keeping the Senate balance of power as a fair trade-off.

Wait I thought Former DJ was Alan?

Geez, it's not like Moore molested everybody...

Sure, Charles Manson murdered all those people, but what about all the people he DIDN'T murder? Ever think of that? Huh?

Either that or he's trying really really really hard to post exactly like Alan

Really hoping MITT primaries that ****ing fossil if it decides to run again

nobody's talking about the 3.5 billion women who've never even MET roy moore

well have to say his first tweet turned out to be excellent advice

Very nice

Flake's widely hated in Trupistan though so it probably helps Moore

I was going to rag on Flake for only donating a hundo but if this is reliable, his net worth of ~$300k is significantly less than a typical senator, so I guess that's not bad

That's pretty solid. My efforts to post the tweet were ponied due to a client's (minor) data breach.
