How Roy Moore Could Actually Win Alabama’s Republican Senate Primary
FiveThirtyEight ^ | Live Blog: Women’s World Cup Jun. 20, 2019 | Geoffrey Skelley

A large primary field may fragment the vote, making it unlikely that a candidate could win a majority and avoid a runoff and making it easier for Moore to advance to a runoff with only the support of his base.

The point is that Moore does have a path — especially a path to a primary runoff if there’s a crowded GOP field. And if he does get there, he would be only one step away from a rematch with Jones.

Moore would still have a decent chance of winning a general election in conservative Alabama, and that is surely a big part of why he’s running again.

It is not. Abortion is legal in this Country though isn’t it. Moore was removed because he wouldn’t enforce same sex marriage.

I know enough to know that women have filed sworn affidavits that they were sexually assaulted by Moore.

But you apparently don't know enough to understand that anyone can lie their @$$ off in a sworn affidavit and the fact that it is a "sworn affidavit" only means that their lies were written down and sword to be true.

Well duh. Anyone lying with their mouth can lie on paper just as easily, and then swear it is true!

As it should happen, her facts don't actually work.

In the case of Beverly Young Nelson, she not only forged Moore's name on her yearbook "evidence", three other people have came forward to say she didn't work at the Old Hickory House at the time in question, (one of them a waitress there at the time) and that they didn't hire 16 year olds at all, and that the layout of the place was not at all as she has described in her affidavit.

And she couldn't unlock her car door and leave? Bullsh*t.

See the different color ink? She forged his name and the date.

.And, because of Akin, we had to put up with Claire McCaskill being a US Senator from Missouri for 12 yrs.

If that is the case, then why did Moore lose?

You want to know how television works?

Akin lost when the liberal media weapon attacked him. Not many can win when every national news outlet is giving free propaganda air time to the enemy.

The RINOs preferred having a Communist Demonrat Senator to someone who would expose their corruption and political machine.

This. Look at what they did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.

It’s possible Brooks was threatened into staying out (I don’t put it past these people, especially when that much power and money is at stake) or didn’t have the belly for it. To be a Conservative in today’s politics who is unbought and unbossed is exceptionally difficult, especially when there are people there 24/7 ready to unleash the most vile and false character assassinations as possible on you and your family. Sadly, even the weak and ignorant minded (on FULL display on this thread) will buy the claims without hesitation and repeat them as if they are the gospel truth.

Are you suggesting that a lot of conservative voters in AL voted against Moore because of TV?

And, because of McCain and Romney, we had to put up with Barack Obama for 8 years. Maybe it’s time for conservatives to withdraw their support from progressive Republicans?

He was impeached because he stood up to a Federal dictator and told them he would not implement F@ggot marriage in Alabama because it was against Alabama's laws banning it. He was also impeached for defying another Federal dictator about displaying the Ten Commandments on court house property.

So far as i'm concerned, Moore was correct, and the cowardly bastards who impeached him were completely wrong.

Nope, because dumb voters fell for the media narrative/fake news story surrounding a setup “gotcha” question aimed at the best-voting House member from Missouri, they handed Claire a 2nd Senate term.

Oh, and it wasn't WOMEN plural, it was "woman" singular, and her name is Beverly Young Nelson, and her story is full of sh*t.

Also I read that Judge Moore was her divorce judge, so she may have had another ax to grind with him.

The other women whom Moore dated said he acted like a perfect gentleman.
