The Dem’s real target is Roy Moore.
Nope, the real target is Donald Trump.
Always has been, always will be.
If the Democrat Jones wins the Senate election in Alabama, it would be at best by a narrow margin, That leads to another dilemma; this will be an expensive seat for the Democrats to hold in 2020 in a state that has been reliably Republican in this century. Alabama, unlike the South Atlantic states, has not experienced a leftward drift in the larger cities due to an influx of Northeasterners. One Democrat in an Alabama Senate seat would be a vote for impeachment, but even if the Democrats re-take the Senate, at best it would be by a 2-3 vote margin. Not enough for a successful impeachment, unless 13-14 Republicans defect. That may happen, but it is more likely that the Democrats will draw out impeachment proceedings in 2019 if Schumer becomes majority leader.
My guess is that the underage sex scandal accusations have played out for Moore and the Democrats are moving on to the bigger target: impugning Trump sufficiently to make his 2020 try for a second term a non-starter.
