Honestly, even more than Trump's election after the Access Hollywood video, Moore winning will confirm to me what I already know about what Americans think of women and their rights to their own body. This isn't a Rep/Dem issue, really, because there are sex predator Dems...and most voters are Independents. |
I was wondering the same thing. It's probably too late to get Strange on the ballot, though. Would be really interesting if someone ran a write-in campaign for him. |
D here, something fishy about this story. I've a feeling it may backfire on Jones. |
Yeah, whatever Vlad. Roy Moore had some terrible behaviors already known before this scandal broke. If you don't want to believe 3 women who accused him with similar stories on the record, and their mothers, then that's your problem. |
No evidence Jones knew about it before it broke. WaPo says they were looking to chat with Moore supporters, and heard the rumors. You think WaPo is lying on this? |
How many of the Clinton accusers do you believe? |
I'm reading the comments on the al.com website (Alabama.com) and it says this story was "known" in some of the small towns where the women were from. They just needed an aggressive journalist willing to go get it. |
Murkowski says if this is true Moore should drop out. Moore already didn't deny that he engaged in fraud for his "moral law charity." His son has just been arrested for the 9th time for drug violations. I'm betting that even in Alabama this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, especially since Jones is a really good Democratic candidate. |
Because Jones, what, assaulted these women himself? Got the Washington Post to falsify a story? Paid the women to make up a story against Moore? Really, please explain your conspiracy theory here? |
It is too late. And, that is why they held off on this story. Smells really fishy to me. |
So if Moore drops out, does the GOP put in Strange? Or is that too risky? Do they have any alternatives? Will Breitbart rebel? Will the Moore supporters still go to the polls? |
Democrats need to go after this seat with all that they're worth. If they can't beat someone as flawed as Roy Moore with a candidate as good as Doug Jones, when can they win in the deep south? |
Suppose its true, WaPo knew months ago, but didn't publish till now. |
It takes months of research, interviews, editing, and fact checking to publish that story by WaPo. Literally, many hundreds, and maybe thousands, of man hours. Plus, they need to get the the WaPo lawyers to clear it. I guarantee that they have been working on the story since the early summer. |
I mean, even McConnell is on the right side of this.
