The fear seems to be that Moore is politically too radioactive. For all those whom he would be red meat to, there are others who think this is too extreme, verging on theocracy.

I think it far more important that the people of the US are believing in God than that they have ensconced it in the government’s law. Throwing a Moore over the transom may be an illusory fix if the people aren’t singing off compatible music.

One could argue that they were not "toxic politically" until they were ambushed by a hostile media who entrapped them with "gotcha" abortion questions.

On the other hand, one could argue that Republican candidates generally must be better able to handle these questions, because their Democrat opponents will never be asked "gotcha" questions.

Neither Brooks nor Moore are an idiot like Todd Akin and neither are “toxic politically”.

So are we to assume Ted Cruz was toxic politically because he lost to Donald Trump?

Are we to assume Mitt Romney and John McCain were toxic politically and that's why they lost?

Please inform us of your perspective and spin when you throw this cr@p out.

Perhaps Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton and/or Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump because they were liberals who were toxic politically?

Funny how you don’t mention Connie Mack, Pete Hoekstra, George Allen, Heather Wilson, Tommy Thompson, Eric Berg, and Denny Rehberg, all Establishent LOSERS!

But oh, conservatives are to blame! (not, apparently, the hand-picked pantywaist moderate at the top of the ticket, and his equally pantywaist running-mate, Speaker Ryan)

They weren’t toxic, they were lied about by the old media mouthpiece of the DNC. The toxic press is the enemy, not these conservatives.
