No, it was the allegations that he molested a 14 year old and attempted to rape an 18 year old. Those are the two accusations that caused the problem,

Moore's campaign died on The Sean Hannity Show when Hannity asked yes or no if he courted teens while a 30-something grown man and Moore was unable to unequivocally deny this.

600,000+ Trump voters stayed home. The sad irony is that most of them thought Moore would still win without their votes.

You misstate what happened. Moore was accused of molesting a 14 year old girl, (Leigh Corfman) Moore was going on Hannity to deny that claim. Hannity hits him with a false equivalency that dating 18 year old girls makes him guilty of molesting 14 year old girls.

Hannity kept insisting that dating 18 year old women proves him guilty of molesting the 14 year old, and Moore was absolutely not ready to respond to a question framed in such a way that makes him guilty of the heinous thing by admitting to the lesser thing.

Moore did date teenagers in his 30s, but the serious accusation was that he molested a girl. Hannity should not have accepted that lying Washington Post bitch's allegation that the one thing was equal to the other.

But Hannity did, and presented a very unfair situation to Roy Moore in that interview.

600,000+ Trump voters stayed home. The sad irony is that most of them thought Moore would still win without their votes.

Which means absolutely nothing. In fact, it is deceitful to make such a claim. Off year elections *NEVER* garner the same numbers of voters as Presidential elections. Probably 500,000 of that was going to stay home anyways, and so you are trying to blame Moore for what is mostly normal in an off year election.

As I posted above, Richard Shelby got 967,861 in 2010 off year election. Trump got 1,318,255. Does that mean Richard Shelby got 350,394 less votes than Trump? Well yes, but to make that claim is very misleading, verging on intentionally deceitful. Moore got 1,051,627 in 2012, which beats Richard Shelby in 2010 by quite a lot.

1,325,868 was the total number of votes cast in Alabama's special senate election. Trump got 1,318,255. Trump got almost as many as both candidates put together!
