Roy Moore was a terrible candidate. Leaving the state to go to a football game? Interviewed by 12 year old? Totally tone deaf candidate, and yes. It’s creepy for 30+ year olds to date teenagers even if it’s illegal.
Nevertheless, I would have crawled over broken glass to vote for him! Why? Because Roy Moore would have been much better politically than Doug Jones.
Sadly, some of Roy’s ardent supporters don’t realize that charisma matters. It doesn’t matter how righteous one’s views may be. You have to at least consider electability, and Roy Moore simply can’t inspire anyone beyond a core group.
Now I’m not saying Roy Moore is entirely at fault here. The Republican Party is chock full of back stabbing scumbags. You don’t see Democrats bailing on their candidates (Franken and Conyers don’t count as they are safe Democrat seats).
OK, so now Moore lost. Are we going to hear any more from the accusers or are they now going to drop out of sight, like they did with Herman Cain? I know where I’d put my money.
Agreed. He was tone deaf.
