I should not be surprised. The blame for this disaster is the Republican side of the Washington establishment. They torpedoed Moore. They didn't want him in because he would have probably sounded the alarm about the behind the scenes deal making.
He would have been a thorn in their side, and they would rather have a non trouble making Democrat.
This is exactly the case and to the point.
You need to give the Demoncraps their due - they could teach the GOP a thing or two about party unity and how to be uncompromising.
