    The GOP should refrain from running crazed bigoted perverts. This guy Moore is the poster boy for horrible candidates.

    Yes devious means like when the Democrats hired a prostitute to smear a Republican and encouraged cross-over voting and now brought these charges only after Moore could not be replaced. They won by default.

    Well then. Color me surprised. Congrats Alabama.

    I'll be curious as to how close the midterms are going to be. I don't expect the Dems to win but the Rs will definitely be paying attention to how close it'll most likely be.

    Oh yea I forgot you're a "lawyer"...

    ...and now I giggle as a make sarcastic air quotes.

    Roy Moore wouldn't testify to anything you'd have him speak of.

    This would be a case built on the certain discovery of WaPo's conspiracy to manufacture this story.

    No; he knows this loss was a win.

    And your signature is a forum rules violation for length and size.

    If this "rational" provides you with some comfort, it's all good.

    Bring up Moore's creepy history.

    Here's a thought... don't like people talking about how you liked to stalk and date underage girls when your pushing 30+? Well, don't date underage girls unless you happen to be within their age range.

    What a shame to not vote for someone based on unsubstantiated accusations. It sets quite a bad precedent for future elections.

    Trumps tweet, he actually took it like a man.

    "Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!"

    Well no one had any idea of these charges until after he had won the nomination and after the date he could be replaced. Are you ignorant of that fact?

    Except you can't prove it actually happened. Hearing a story and taking sides doesn't mean it's true.

    he's the new Trump GOP.

    hopefully that will be a mere fluke, not a trend.

    It cuts the GOP Senate majority down to 51-49.

    It turns a deep red seat blue for the next 6 years.

    How is that a win for the right-wing?

    If you're a US citizen, then Trump is your president.

    They haven't been that since 1968 when the radicals captured the party and their progressive wing took over.

    Who was stopping women from accusing Jones of sexual harassment? If it is indeed so easy to do.

    Winning by this means does, he didn't win because he represents the views of the state or because he won on the issues, he ran on the accusations.

    Yeah

    Because his words made you feel the accusations were false?

    Views of a state can change. Hopefully Alabama will not continue to vote for candidates who stick it to them while letting corporate robberbarons run away with the loot.

    They don't have to deal with Roy Moore.

    I'm still not sure which was a better outcome for the Dems. But I'm glad we don't have scumbag Moore in the Senate.
