Roy Moore, who lost a 2017 Senate race after a string of claims of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, is running for the seat again in 2020 in what could become a rematch against the Democrat who beat him.

Moore, 72, told a gathering of grassroots Republicans in Alabama this weekend that he will announce his candidacy in a matter of weeks, the Washington Examiner reported.

If he wins the GOP nomination, he would face Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who is considered one of the most endangered Democrats in the Senate.

How long before the MeToo accusers start coming out of the woodwork?

Notice how immediately after the last election, they dropped from sight?

I have no idea if Moore is a creeper or a falsely accused fellow looking for a younger wife (his life behavior suggests the latter). But he *was* a guy who refused to campaign or publicly defend himself, so I’ll pass on him. The GOP needs a candidate who actually wants to win.

Well, the octogenarian GOP senior senator from Alabama certainly wanted the Democrat to win Moore’s race. He hauled behind on election eve across the state to elect a progressive Democrat. Buy yourself a clue and ask why that is. Might it have something to do with the open borders agenda that Senator Shelby, McConnell and the Democrat support?

I’m not at all denying that the GOPe was actively conspiring against Moore, including the poltroons you mentioned, only that Moore probably could have won had he actually engaged in campaigning effectively. Which he did not if the reports I got from Alabama were true. As a friend said, it’s really hard to work for a candidate who gives every appearance of being ambivalent about winning.

You can't have it both ways, dude.

First you insist that "the people of Alabama" decide who their senator is ... not "Mitch McConnell and his progressive corporatist allies on K Street."

But then you complain that Moore lost because the "beltway GOP" undermined him.

Which is it?

The simple fact is....... like Hillary, the man did not win. He lost
