Moore has a bigger problem: He’s a loser.
Losing a single race as the party nominee does not make one a “loser.” He ran and won twice statewide prior to that. As pointed out above, if one loss means you are permanently painted as a loser and unqualified to ever run again, that would include Ronald Reagan (1976 Presidential) and even Bubba Clintoon (1974 Congressional loss and 1980 reelection loss as Governor).
As for Alabama, a fella named Guy Hunt was the 1978 nominee for Governor on the GOP side. He lost in a landslide (73-26%) to then-Democrat Fob James. 8 years later, Hunt scored an upset victory of 56% to win the same office.
A GOP candidate running in American Samoa for Congressional Delegate, Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen, ran an unprecedented ELEVEN times for Congress before she finally beat the corrupt incumbent in 2014. In 2018, they gave her the largest landslide for any person ever running for that office, 83% of the vote. 20 years before that, she received just 6.47% of the vote.
I tend not to term someone a “loser” until they consistently demonstrate losing election after election, and even they can surprise you, as Del. Radewagen did.
Which I think to many of your pretending to care about morality, is his biggest crime.
The world can abide corrupt depraved winners like Clinton, but if a man loses, he's the worst scum.
Some of you need to get a better perspective on life.
For some of you, losing is the unforgivable sin.
