Moore wins, is seated, and McConnell resigns in disgrace.
Why is 5 a bad scenario?
Scenario 6 is more likely than that, and it's chances hover somewhere between zilch and none. Scenario 5 is my prediction for what actually happens.
Where is that a win for Moore? Go through everything only to resign?
Fixed it.
Judge Roy Moore is running strong. In a free society, it wouldn’t be proper for the folks in Washington DC to deny Alabama their VOICE of dissent. Whatever Moore did 40 years ago, the accusers have NOT made any effort to validate their case. I think the momentum is going to show that the Trump Effect is alive and well... Can’t wait to see the bawl babies on election night again break down...Lots of footage for YOUTUBE views afterward. Get ready.
“What about 7, Roy gets elected, helps pass the Trump agenda then gets reelected as the Republicans increase majorities in both House and Senate thanks to growing economy and glow of prosperity? ”
Yeah. What about that?
The important thing is control of the Senate.
For National Review, it is always June 2015.
Wow.
You think a lot more of them than I do.
If telling a girl she has pretty eyes is the new standard for "sexual assault", you won't have ten Senators left.
GOP Inc has absolutely no self awareness that their world view answer prognostication abilities completely suck.
COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE:
1) “Moore withdraws from the race.” Correct...all that a write-in will do is split the Republican vote. Not a prayer of winning - Democrat Victory.
2) “The governor of Alabama changes election day.” Correct again...Moore still may still wind up on the ticket, but if not Moore, more Republicans in Alabama will stay home in protest than will vote - Democrat Victory.
3) “Moore stays in the race with a GOP write-in challenger.” Same as #1...Democrat Victory. If Moore’s name is there, he’ll get a huge number of votes, but he’ll only win if his name is the ONLY Republican. To run anyone else is simply throwing the election to the Democrat.
4) Moore wins, and the Senate GOP tries to expel him. Not as bad, as that likely keeps the seat Republican, which to me is actually more important than the particular person there. But I do agree, horrible precedent, if they put him on trial without any evidence beyond a dozen or so leftists who don’t want him in the Senate regardless, what’s to stop this from happening over and over.
5) Moore wins, and the Senate GOP does not try to expel him. This is a GREAT OUTCOME - it means that the next time Gloria rounds up a bunch of Democrats, they will NOT be permitted to flip an election, just on their word.
6) Doug Jones wins. Obviously just as bad as the earlier scenarios...but to a lot of people claiming to be Republicans, it is preferable to Trump being able to seat judges.
Six scenarios. For the GOP, FOUR bad scenarios, and TWO good scenarios. This is their BIG CHANCE, let’s see if they get it right (so far, the Alabama GOP, Governor Ivey, and Trump have it right...so all good signs).
"That is an Everybody Wins scenario."
The guy sounds like some of the FReepers who can only see the bad what-ifs and ignores all the good/potential good.
Must suck to live like that.
4 or 5 are the most likely with the most likely being he is seated and a ethics investigation is started immediately
Hahaha. Good one!!
The Swamp is supposed to be able to destroy any candidate they choose with an October Surprise of bimbos, don’t you deplorables understand that?
Snif-snif...I smell a stinky York.
And bad things happening to the GOP is a problem WHY, exactly?
Fine with me, he has stood by Moore and deserves a 2nd shot.
