WH On Moore Report: ‘That Hypothetical Would Be Disqualifying For Anyone’ (Kellyanne Conway)

TPM ^ | November 9, 2017 | Matt Shuham

[plain talk]

No help from the RINOs and team Trump who didn’t want Moore anyway.

Allegations are made and nowhere do I see anyone giving the presumption of innocence to Moore.

[dforest]

That word only applies when a RINO or a democrat is attacked.

I guess all anyone has to do anymore is accuse and that means the accused is automatically guilty and ruined.

[Walrus]

Get the f*ck outta here, you f*cking troll.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

But if he does drop out then what is the implications for the Dec. 12, 2017 election. Can he be replaced or does the election go to the democrat?

I don't know what Tennessee's laws about candidates are, but I can't conceive of any way in which one candidate is automatically handed an open Senate seat because his/her opponent dropped out of the race. Elections are meant to be voted on - I assume the Republican Party would field another candidate for the election.

[Defiant]

Trump needs to recall that Dems did this to him, too, with help from the same GOPe that are calling for Moore to drop out. He knows the technique well; he needs to denounce it.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Get the f*ck outta here, you f*cking troll.

What's got your panties in such a bunch? That time of the month?

I spoke a plain, simple fact - if Moore did what he is accused of, he has no business running for anything, you moron.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

There are 535 senators and representatives in Congress. I suspect more than a few would be in big electoral trouble if past indiscretions saw the light of day a month before an election.

[lone star annie]

Smart thing to do is for AL to go ahead and elect him then after a year or so if the allegations are true, Moore can resign and another GOP can be appointed by the Gov. It’s too late to change the ballot.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Lots we don’t know as the truth at this time. But if he does drop out then what is the implications for the Dec. 12, 2017 election. Can he be replaced or does the election go to the democrat?

My guess is that there will be a big push to get voters to write in Luther Strange.

[HombreSecreto]

Or during one of his elections for judge.

Or during the primary campaign.

Nope, comes out now?

Sorry, not buying it.

This has McConnell and the SWAMP smell to it.

Remember Mississippi!

[GCC Catholic]

if Moore did what he is accused of

If. If. If.

That's a big if... it smells like baseless suspiciously-timed accusations spearheaded by the fake-news Washington comPost. Just like they did with Trump.

Why not when Moore was being thrown off the AL Supreme Court bench? Why not when he ran against Strange? This is the last chance to stop him, and the globalists will try by any means necessary.

[hoosiermama]

Just check their checking accounts or recent purchases

[dontreadthis]

this woman was paid $56,000 for this story.
prove me wrong

[AnotherUnixGeek]

If. If. If.

That's a big if.

It is. It'll have to be proven, or at least thought credible by most people. If it's a false smear, it's an incredibly ugly one, and the people responsible for spreading it should be jailed. If it's true, Moore needs to go away, and we need to wonder how on earth he wasn't vetted more thoroughly by the GOP.

[xzins]

Moore denies it cocompletely and his reasons make sense

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Smart thing to do is for AL to go ahead and elect him then after a year or so if the allegations are true, Moore can resign and another GOP can be appointed by the Gov. It’s too late to change the ballot.

if elected the Senate can refuse to seat him. Then I suppose there would be a special election where another republican like Luther or Brooks would be elected.

[DesertRhino]

Besides... they are trying to ruin someone from Alabama,,,,, by saying they slept with a 14 year old?

They better think that one ALL the way through.

[Mariner]

“And in fact no one from the GOP has (or will) step up to defend Moore.

He’s a gonner.”

It depends.

Are there any contemporaneous witnesses that have come forward? Anyone who says they saw him in the company of one of these young girls?

Supposedly he had permission from some of the moms to “date their young daughter...have any of these moms come forward?

If any of that is true, then yes, he’s a gonner.

Absent that, he’ll be elected.

[dynoman]

It was bound to come out. Probably why Trump didn’t endorse him. When is the election?

I was working for slave wages in my uncle’s convenience store.
