I think he was a bad candidate to begin with who was unfairly attacked and that the only good use for a vanity is to hold a bathroom sink. And that if anyone bases their voting choices on what Hannity says, we are screwed.
Moore did pretty good with 99.999999% against him
Steve Bannon
This blame game is a futile exercise. The original mistake was Session’s appointment to the Attorney General position. Had Sessions stayed in the Senate, things would have been a lot better. Many will agree that a different Attorney General selection might have made things a lot different and probably a lot better for us.
No, and neither does Sean Hannity.
You sound like Hillary Clinton's best friend LOOKING to PLACE BLAME.
As "Souled_Out" said in post #6.. "Alabama owns that $hit sandwich"
End of discussion.
Sean didn’t do anything wrong. He did a good and proper interview, Moore is the one who screwed it up. of course any interviewer would ask questions that people want to know and I figure Sean thought Moore would categorically deny. He was probably as shocked as anyone at Moore’s response.
I am no fan of Sean, i think he’s too partisan but do believe he did nothing wrong here.
Nobody is responsible but Alabama voters. It is possible, just possible that the candidate can take some blame as well.
He certainly did not help.
He should have been pounding McCOnnell instead of Moore.
The swamp dweller RINO’s are happy he lost. That tells you everything.
All I hear this morning from them is “See? Let US decide who we wont, or’ we’ll let them lose”
I’m not a fan of Hannity (or any cable news talking heads) but Moore ran a horrible campaign. The blames falls on the candidate.
Probably several reasons. Here are two:
1. only 50% of the Republicans who voted in 2016 turned out to vote yesterday. Whereas, 92% of the Democrats who voted in 2016 turned out to vote yesterday.
Republican turn out the vote campaign failed miserably.
2. Bannan may be a master politician but not in Alabama. His style is not for the South. He turns people off down here. He gained no votes and more than likely cost Moore some votes.
Sean leaned over backward to help Roy. He answered clumsily the question his whole life hung on. He ought to have thought through that question knowing everything depended on it.
It’s Sean and Salem was 24/7 anti-Moore.
That’s all Medved and Hewitt talked about.
They are the supporters of Hastert, an actual sex offender.
No more Republicans.
Sorry.
Absolutely.
When all is said and done, Sean Hannity is still Murdoch’s narcissistic b****.
Sean Hannity is no different than any other of his fellow television narcissists, all of whom play an intellectually dishonest and duplicitous “conservative” game with their audience.
It was obvious from the beginning that Hannity was out to trash Moore. He claims to be against liberals - then does all in his power to undermine a good conservative running against a far left liberal.
In the final measure, Hannity is an arrogant self-important blowhard, whose phony talking points - which he pontificates ad nauseum - amount to disingenuous rhetoric.
Sean Hannity valued his FOX paycheck over his integrity. That’s why he threw Moore under the bus. Enjoy Murdoch’s 30 pieces of silver, Sean - or rather, Mr. “independent” used ass wipe.
I listened to Hannity’s interview with Moore again this morning before I saw this thread. And it did strike me as very prosecutorial. Moore got tainted by a myriad of folks of various agendas. I wasn’t there 40 years ago. I don’t know what went on. And, to be very honest, I don’t really care at this point as it’s unknowable. I do know that the machine can make ANYONE of us look very guilty if they chose to do so. Finding out the truth no longer matters. And one doesn’t get the benefit of doubt if the machine is targeting you. There are too many bad motives out there, and there are too many people who are willing to believe anything they hear in the media. It’s a quite unfortunate state of affairs, but so much of it is human nature, and that will never change.
Obviously, Moore himself and the sex allegations bear most of the blame. But as long as we are looking at contributing factors, I think fellow Alabaman Sen Richard Shelby really hurt him. (Keep in mind that when an election is lost by a tiny margin, almost anything negative can be fingered as “the cause”.)
Maybe that numbnut Moore shouldn’t have rode up to vote on a horse, or done that interview with a 12-year-old girl, or disappeared during the last week of the campaign, or made other dumb missteps during the campaign. He was a bad candidate, and that’s why Trump supported Luther Strange in the first place. Moore is a loose cannon and an oddball. I don’t like losing the seat, but we should just move on and fight the Democrats in the next battle.
Roy Moore defeated Roy Moore.
The candidate is to blame based on how he ran or didn’t run his campaign.
Sean had nothing to do with the loss.
