While I agree, it simply does not make sense.

Most people don't pay attention to politics like Freepers do. What they know about Roy Moore vis a vis these allegations is what they heard on the evening news. And what they heard was Republican Senators trashing their candidate right and left. They heard 'conservative' pundits trashing him, they saw Sean Hannity cross examine him like he was some kind of DA in a rape trial.

It was an uphill battle to get normal, rank and file folks excited about a candidate like Roy Moore.

It is a bitter loss.

When the entire power of all the establishment media, combined with the might of the establishment Republican party, was focused on one senate race, they could energize enough Democrats, and confuse enough independents and conservatives, to win in a deep red state.

Outspent 14 to 1, the level of propaganda must have been deafening. The Democrat candidate, for the the most part, was able to simply keep quiet.

It is a lost battle. The war rages on.

We can gain several seats in the Senate in the mid-terms. The Progressives will have to divide their resources among 33 races.

It will be much harder to push allegations against all the Republican challengers.

We can win, but we must fight.
