Plenty more needs to be said, because you have completely missed the lessons of that election.
As a Republican candidate, Moore deserved party support. Instead he had Republican members of Congress shooting their mouth off every so often, timed just right to prevent him from gaining traction.
I’ve seen this play out here in California over and over again. Neither the state or federal wings of our party, help our candidates with funding, other resources, or top level endorsements. Our candidates go out on the campaign trail with one or two nobodies in tow. At the same time, the democrat candidates have highly visible state and federal figures show up with them.
Moore got exactly that sort of treatment. And now you’re blaming all this on him. Put the blame where it belongs!
As stated before, the Republicans launched a robocall effort the day before the election with a prominent Republican telling Republicans not to vote for Moore.
You had the media lifting women who had nothing tangible to say, except that Moore done them wrong, when they couldn’t say specifically what he had done that was against the law.
This guy was pounded by all sides, and still came up with a very respectable showing.
Poor campaign?
That’s all you can come up with? Seriously?
You certainly choose to overlook the post in the party’s eye to focus on the splinter in Moore’s.
Baloney. Go back and do some research on his antics after he lost the 2006 GOP primary campaign for governor. It is completely disingenuous for anyone who pulled that kind of sh!t to expect ANY support from the Republican Party.
Poor campaign? That’s all you can come up with? Seriously?
The guy lost in one of the most conservative states in the U.S. Do I need to say anything else? Face it ... HE’S A LOSER.
The reality is voters in deep-red Alabama rejected Moore, plain and simple. We need the seat, and it’s time for him to move on. If he doesn’t, and somehow ekes out another GOP nomination, plan on Doug Jones inhabiting that seat for another six years. He may be vulnerable, but he’s not THAT vulnerable.

I agree with that.
But as a candidate Moore needed to make every effort to win that party support.
He needed to stay active thru out Alabama and meet the voters and ask for their
support. IMO he didn’t do that. Maybe he could read the writing on the wall
and said to heck with it. I don’t know but he sure didn’t campaign all that hard
or so it seems to me.
