I'd bet 60/40 on it. If Trump had been a Moore guy all along or if Bannon and Hannity weren't wavering I'd put it somewhere around 80%.

That video of Mo Brooks running reminded me of the Republican who left his hamburger mid-bite because one of his colleagues was getting grilled on a question that he definitely wanted no part of. Does anyone remember that? It might’ve been from the primaries, or maybe even from 2014. Time no longer makes sense to me.

I think that was Rand Paul running from a DREAM act question

Edit: Yeah, It was him, abandoning ship when Steve King got questioned by a DREAMer at a restaurant.

Why would the Moore allegations make someone more likely to vote for him. Is that the pedophile demographic or the insane people?

The thing is, whatever happens now, the GOP loses big. If Moore wins this election, then the Democrats get a gigantic pedophile-shaped stick to beat the whole GOP with in 2018 and 2020. If he doesn't, then there are just enough uncooperative Republican senators that most of their legislative agenda is dead in the water and the Democrats have a realistic hope of taking the Senate in 2018. The only way out would be either a successful write-in campaign (which is unlikely given that the Alabaman GOP is still standing firmly behind Moore) or for Moore to win but the Senate to refuse to seat him (which I don't believe for a second they'll do).

Because the lamestream leftwing media obviously made up these accusations to smear plucky little Roy.

If the failing Washington Post is trying to take him out he must be the right guy for all God fearing Americans.

I've always found it immensely amusing that the area of the country that hates California the most consumes the most salty white creamy sauce which was first invented in California.

Personally I'm inclined to side with Covok on this one. A month is potentially enough time for the RWM echo chamber to convince enough Alabama voters that these charges are just another one of the left's sinister machinations.
This is exactly why Alabama Republicans are still supporting him and also the explanation for that poll result that said something like 30% of them were more likely to support Moore because of the accusations. Not because they're in favor of pedophilia, though some of them doubtless are, but because he must be so much more special and awesome since the Liberal Media has been targeting him with its Fake News.

You can't have Republican voters without tribalism and paranoia.
