What Will the GOP Do About the Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Roy Moore?
(U.S. Senate, Roy Moore has attracted scandalous and shameful attention to himself.)
Olivia: Am I wrong that that would be like the Republicans just opting to sit this one out altogether? There’s no way a write in would work, right?
Ed: Part of the political problem here is that there’s no obvious substitute, unless Sessions quits and comes back.
Eric: If tax reform didn’t hang in the balance, “better two years of Doug Jones than a lifetime of Roy Moore” would be a compelling argument.
Jon: Tax reform, hell, Jones could give Democrats 51 seats after the midterms. I expect them to pick up Nevada and Arizona. Decent shot of holding every incumbent seat.
Ezekiel: I think the GOP can stomach anything if it looks like he’s going to win anyway. If it looks like the voters are going to abandon him, though, under the bus he goes
Eric: That is the lesson of grab’em-by-the-pussygate.
Eric: Right after the Access Hollywood thing broke, they expected a landslide. Paul Ryan told his caucus he wouldn’t support Trump. Then Trump’s polling remained competitive. And they just moved on.
Jon: Not sure if we’ve gone over this, but Strange cannot run as a write-in:
Big Luther cannot run as a write-in candidate. 'Bama's got a sore-loser law:
"This provision basically allows every candidate only one opportunity to run for an elected position in any given year."https:/*******b1K0xE2eUJ

Moore’s campaign lashed out as condemnation rained upon him Thursday, calling the story a “baseless political attack.”
“Judge Roy Moore has endured the most outlandish attacks on any candidate in the modern political arena, but this story in today’s Washington Post alleging sexual impropriety takes the cake."

Moore defeated the Mitch McConnell and Trump-backed candidate, Luther Strange, in the Alabama GOP Senate primary in September. Trump immediately distanced himself from Strange following his defeat.
Under Alabama law, if he did drop out before the election is held on Dec. 12, his name would still remain on the ballot. He just wouldn’t be certified, even if had the most votes. There’s already some talk that Sen. Luther Strange, who lost to Moore in a primary, could mount a write-in campaign; the state’s “sore loser” law would not prohibit him from doing so. But with Strange having been so soundly rejected in the primary, it’s hard to see a huge surge of Republicans writing in his name, outside of the suburbs of Birmingham. Republicans could also try a write-in campaign for a candidate whom all Alabama Republicans love. (Perhaps a certain sitting U.S. Attorney General would fit the bill?)

What Are You Going To Do, Republicans, Count The Tree Rings On Roy Moore’s Dick?

The Washington Post just published some downright shocking allegations about Alabama's Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore
And now to Bannon. Saying the former head of Trump's campaign and chief White House adviser delivered the nomination to Moore is giving him too much credit -- Moore already led before Bannon came on-board and made an appearance for him -- but Moore is the kind of candidate Bannon has promised to support in Republican primaries across the country. Bannon is seeking primary challengers to run against basically any Republican incumbent who doesn't call for Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) removal as majority leader. He's looking for anti-establishment, nationalistic, Trumpian firebrands. But those firebrands also tend to be less vetted, more extreme and prone to spectacular downfalls that cost the GOP seats.
"Steve Bannon is responsible," said Josh Holmes, a former McConnell chief of staff who argued that Bannon has enabled candidates like Moore who are outside the GOP mainstream.
Bannon is threatening to usher in a replay of the GOP's Tea Party primary pains. It may have just started earlier than we expected.
