There was also the problem of Roy Moore doing his best Hillary Clinton imitation and mailing it in over the last few weeks of the campaign.

Irrelevant. Without the fabricated scandals and the deliberate backstabbing by Shelby, Flake, McConnell, et al, Roy's activities or lack thereof would not have mattered.

Let us not try to distract the blame from where it belongs.

It's more than just sex scandals. Alabamans just didn't like Roy Moore.

It is nothing but the sex scandals. Moore got over 1 million votes in 2012.

Nope. Bannon just chose a particularly crappy candidate to put his money and prestige (HA!) behind, so crappy that Moore could not win even in Alabama. That takes some doing.

Stop spreading lies. Moore got over 1 million votes in 2012. He was just fine as a candidate until the fabricated sex scandal and the backstabbing by people like Shelby, Flake, McConnell and so forth.

So did the down ticket Republican candidates. Were they bad candidates too?

Who knows this? Last I heard it was an accusation. It was this willingness to embrace the accusations of left wing kooks that cost this election. Those who believed these suspicious accusations were fools.
