So Reagan shouldn’t have run in 1980? Seriously? You’re going with that?

Moore lost by about 21,300 votes out of about 1,350,000.

It was something like a 1.4% loss, after everyone but his wife slamming him in the press, and Republicans in Congress doing robocalls against him.

Do you think Roy Moore is the hill to die on?

Richard Shelby (Alabama's other Senator) got on National Television and urged everyone to *NOT VOTE* for Moore. He urged them to write in someone else.

That year Alabama had something like 23,000 write in votes, which would have won the race for Moore.

Richard Shelby helped stab Moore in the back, and based entirely upon the lies spread by the news media liars.

21,300 votes after 650,000 Trump-voting Alabamans stayed home.

You make a good point about Reagan but that was for the nomination not a vote of the electorate for the office.

I want a sure thing. Alabama should be a sure thing.

Yes - and that was with both parties aggressively attacking him.

The RINOpublicans will never be ousted by submitting to their vicious tactics.
