Moore's real problem is the class of voter who can sink him have easy access to the ballot.

It was the GOP's problem in VA.

yep! This is why he's 55% instead of 100%

the entire philosophical base of the GOP is to give tons of money to suburban whites and also make it easier for them to vote than anybody else

the problem we've seen recently is that it seems like suburban whites have figured out that they're actually a bunch of gross rapists who are actually going to be raising taxes on them, if they do anything at all because they're so massively incompetent, and yet in the meantime are asking said suburban whites to hitch their wagon to lunatic RaHoWa rhetoric even though it will cost them money

Moore being in the senate might actually be more damaging for the GOP than Doug Jones winning.

If the numbers from VA hold throughout the election in 2018, especially the suburbs, the GOP is an existential amount of a trouble for a couple of years.

yeah but ALL of the GOP tax plans since 1980 have been this, it's just that this time around they aren't even willing to sacrifice a couple % to send out a bribe, so it's p obvious that 99% of the country is getting loving jobbed

Yinlock posted:

Even if it was legally possible, Moore would never resign. Moore is like the avatar of a nightmare scenario for McConnell and I wish I could appreciate it more

Moore has institutional support. He also has a lot of institutional opposition and he's forcing those two groups into conflict with one another in the GOP.

He's becoming a Strom Thurmond or McCarthy and he's not even elected yet.

nobody in Alabama does but I'd imagine the Senate Republicans would have a very strong opinion on a lockstep establishment man being replaced by the Avatar of the House Freedom Caucus who literally, in this scenario, won two elections in a row for the same office on the platform of saying that almost all Senate Republicans are traitorous cucks, especially McConnell, and should be put to the blade in the name of Talmudic Law

Also Moore, as Epic High Five says, is a total wildcard.

He's not going to swallow leadership's line and will not play ball.

And probably does not give a rat's rear end about committee appointments or fundraising so how do you corral him?
