Disagree. Had he become senator, I am confident his conservative scorecard voting record would have been near to perfect approaching that of Mike Lee and Rand Paul. He would have represented the American majority well. It's a shame he was successfully victimized by combined efforts of the uniparty. I hope he demolishes his accuser in court and runs again.

In my opinion, one of the fatal mistakes Roy Moore made was his promise to vote against Mitch McConnell for Senate Majority Leader. That itself demonstrated his complete ignorance the elected office he was looking to fill. He ran like he was leading a crusade, when in fact he was going to be one of 52 members in the majority party in a 100-member legislative body.

Now there are plenty of people in the conservative movement who would love to see Mitch McConnell replaced. You'll find lots of them right here on FreeRepublic. But there isn't a single Republican today in the U.S. Senate who has given any indication that he plans to mount a challenge to McConnell's leadership. Who the hell was Roy Moore going to support for the position of Senate Majority Leader -- Chuck Schumer?

It was obvious to anyone watching the Alabama election process unfold that Moore was simply carrying Steve Bannon's anti-McConnell water here -- and that was really a tone-deaf, idiotic approach to a special election for a single seat in the U.S. Senate.

I am confident his conservative scorecard voting record would have been near to perfect approaching that of Mike Lee and Rand Paul.

I've actually speculated that Roy Moore would have spent most of his time in Alabama, and would have missed about 90% of the votes that came up in the Senate during his tenure anyway.
