I read the whole article trying to find out who these “Republicans” were. All I could find is:
Some Republicans like Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) have floated a write-in candidacy, proposing Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), who lost in the GOP primary runoff to Moore
With Moore still on the ballot, attempts to write-in Stange would probably elect the Dim. I think the only write-in that might work would be to write in: Jeff Sessions. Probably won't happen, but with the dissatisfaction with him as AG on the part of many, his moving back to the senate might be the best thing in the long run, if he'd go along with such a strategy.
And I think Moore would still win if he toughs it out and no real credible evendence exists to support the accusations.
We really shouldn't be surprised. Remember that the nomination was stolen for Cochran with very nasty shenanigans in the primary runoff. And Murkowski kept her US Senate seat after losing her primary.
Did anyone realize how far gone the US gov is? Our Repbulic has been a phony show, probably at least since George 1 became President.
