1. Trump was set upon by both parties — and he WON. Moore ran a half-assed campaign just like Hillary Clinton did. That’s what makes him a LOSER.
2. I never said Moore committed any crimes. That doesn’t make him a viable candidate for an elected legislative office.
3. If you ask 1,000 people in the Democratic leadership which candidate they’d love the GOP to nominate for that seat in 2020, at least 999 of them would say: ROY MOORE.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Plenty more needs to be said, because you have completely missed the lessons of that election.
As a Republican candidate, Moore deserved party support. Instead he had Republican members of Congress shooting their mouth off every so often, timed just right to prevent him from gaining traction.
I’ve seen this play out here in California over and over again. Neither the state or federal wings of our party, help our candidates with funding, other resources, or top level endorsements. Our candidates go out on the campaign trail with one or two nobodies in tow. At the same time, the democrat candidates have highly visible state and federal figures show up with them.
Moore got exactly that sort of treatment. And now you’re blaming all this on him. Put the blame where it belongs!
As stated before, the Republicans launched a robocall effort the day before the election with a prominent Republican telling Republicans not to vote for Moore.
You had the media lifting women who had nothing tangible to say, except that Moore done them wrong, when they couldn’t say specifically what he had done that was against the law.
This guy was pounded by all sides, and still came up with a very respectable showing.
Poor campaign?
That’s all you can come up with? Seriously?
You certainly choose to overlook the post in the party’s eye to focus on the splinter in Moore’s.
