Roy Moore, a conservative lightening rod who cost the Republican party a Senate seat in deep-red Alabama, is signaling fresh interest in mounting another campaign in 2020, sparking alarm on the right that Democratic Sen. Doug Jones could be gifted another unlikely victory.
Moore, 72, a former state judge, made the rounds at last Friday’s Alabama Republican Party dinner gala. A few days later, a new political action committee run by Moore’s son, Caleb Moore, issued an email fundraising appeal.
Republican insiders, including conservative allies of President Trump, fret that Moore — derailed by sexual assault allegations in a 2017 special election that should have been an easy layup — might divide the party in the primary and advance to a rematch with Jones. On Wednesday, a Moore confidant pointedly declined to rule out that his buddy might run for Senate next year.

I don’t think it is a nightmare at all. He won’t get any support this time.
Almost as if this guy is a Rat Plant.
He might get more support than jeff sessions if Jeffe again.
Old dude using the old tactics of talking tough and fighting the authority, total scams on conservatives.
Now is the time to start QUESTIONING the authority of the establishment not playing naughty school boy.
Probably three or four pretender GOP-lobbyists putting money in front of Moore, to entice him to run.
The problem here...there are enough naive voters in the primary system, to ensure that Moore would get around 30-percent of the vote, and the pretender GOP-lobbyists would funnel funds to two other guys to get the vote split down enough....so it’s Moore and some guy with a skeleton in his closet. In the end, with that scenario....Moore faces off to Jones yet again.
Someone needs to sit down with Moore and just ask the guy to retire from politics.
Say it ain’t so Ro’!
Maybe he wants a vacation home too.
Has his lawsuit against his accuser been settled? He might be raising money just to pay his legal bills. The only people who are bigger losers than this guy are the morons who send him money.
Roy…I like you. But it’s time
To get on that fine steed of yours and ride into the sunset. Any more races you run as a Republican means you’re working for the democrats (cept possibly local races in rock solid districts)
They won't. Moore needs to go away. Alabamans can do better.
Roy Moore is some kind of retard. There is something seriously wrong with this guy’s brain.
Not happening.
I didn’t want Moore in the first place. I don’t want him now. I REALLY don’t want Dough Jones. BUT...
It ain’t nobodies’ business but ours. Don’t nobody outside of Alabama be runnin’ our lives /stereotypical language for dang yankees.
This will be a very expensive election.
I plan on voting for him. As prior Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, his bone fides are good enough for me. I doubt that he’s a retard.
He won’t win the primaries.
Does this mean Roy Moore isn't going to raise money from donors outside Alabama? If he does, then y'all are gonna have to shut the hell up and listen to Yankees weigh in on that idiocy down there. :-)
Liar!
