He’s tainted and he lost to Jones before.
it hurts other GOPers, just by potential association w party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds just like Paul Ryan as to why he wouldn’t appear with Candidate Trump.
When the national party urges everyone to vote against him, when they pull his funding, making him appear guilty in everyone's eyes, when the entire media broadcasting propaganda monster and the entire Washington DC establishment is against you, it can cause an effect on the more wishy washy of your supporters.
And it did. 25,000 write in votes thanks to Richard Shelby, and the loss was by 25,000 votes.
Thanks again Richard Shelby.
He didn’t have one chance. That sad thing is, you think he did.
The RNC/GOPe smeared Moore and did robocalls to get Republicans to stay home or vote for the Democrat.
Despite this he came within about 1.5% of winning.
Name one Republican candidate in any state that could overcome that form of onslaught against them, being completely betrayed by all the leadership who should have been backing him.
Trump was Roy Moore. He had all the same enemies. We rallied behind him and some of us broke off and trashed Moore.
That was a massive mistake, and some folks are back on board to do it all over, opposing Moore instead of backing him.
We wouldn’t have Trump now if our side had acted the same way. Well, actually, we barely did get him with folks acting just the same way.
We need to fall in behind Moore and put the nail in the coffin of the RNC/GOPe.
Yes New York “star culture” is similar. I can see it !
The Senate is too important gamble !
The USSC & fed judges are too important to gamble!
I've noticed a lot of the Eastern European government officials like to trot him out as the scapegoat too.
I agree with you. I think that Alabamians are not going to fall for the smear tactics of Karl Rove and the Demoncrats this time.
He married a woman when she was 24 and he was 32 and is still married to her.
I agree, and I wish Moore would let someone else take it.
But I understand why he feels the need to rehabilitate his name, and I can't say I blame him, though I wish he wouldn't.
He ran. He lost. There are no do-overs.
Did the Democrats unjustly slime him? No doubt. Does anyone think that Democrats will play nicer in 2020? Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.
This is a seat that the Republicans can and should win back. They will not win it back if Moore is the nominee.
More tainted than the actual molester Joe Biden, who last I checked was leading the polls to become the Dem nominee for President?
The women have sworn affidavits.
And Jones is the incumbent.
Doesn’t have a thing to do with “smear tactics.”
“and it is quite possible that if Roy Moore runs, he will win”
“Possible” for a Republican to win in Alabama. You could only say that if Roy Moore is the nominee.
Any other Republican is a SHOE IN. A certain win.
AL votes nearly 70% GOP in Presidential elections.
Sorry...he’s a loser.
Does Biden have women who have come forward and sworn affidavits?
He didn’t win as the Republican nominee last time.
He was a great Senator for the state.
He'll be a fine candidate with his usual conservative values.
Trump does, is he guilty too?
Nixon, Ronald Reagan & George W. Bush all lost elections, only to win later on.
