Short term it hurts the Repubs. as they loose the seat for 2 years. A Moore win would have hurt the Rep. for years.

A thoughtful way of looking at it. I swear the gop can’t get out of their own way sometimes. They had Tons of momentum, then they lose a seat in Alabama.

Well Trump isn't Bill Belichick, probably the worse thing for Moore was getting Trump's endorsement and as if the women GOP voters didn't need a push; Trump gives them a good one by going after Gillibrand. Thirty plus swing in those counties Trump won by the largest margin tells me this was more of a Trump loss than Moore or the GOP loosing.

The HCIC needed to grow up when he got elected. he didn't, and now people are starting to grow tired of it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

With things getting more crazy on top of more crazy, we need better people to run. In environments like this, sane people won't.
