Governor needs to cancel but won't because she wants to be re-elected and Roy might run against her. Really deeply woven

Did you, or did you not imply that because moore was a "clown" then we should have seen this alledged sexual misconduct coming?
And once again, eat ****, you're not going to tell me what I can / cannot talk about on a thread.

Here's my view
1) The Dems did not nominate Roy Moore
2) There were plenty of reasons to oppose Moore in the primary, from charity self dealing, to Fred Phelps level homophobia, to incompetent management of the courts when he was Chief Justice, to outrageous rulings, to racism, etc, etc., etc.
3) There was no guarantee that these charges would 'stick', given the amount of stuff that Moore's supporters are willing to overlook
4) The current sexual harassment allegations hit liberal figures first
But sure, its possible the Dems did set up the timing, but the GOP did everything possible to make this happen.
---
Governor Ivey can't cancel the election at this point. There will be an election on December 12. Either Roy will win, a write in will, or Doug Jones will.

Yes I actually called Moore a clown. I'm under no obligation to list others that might, or might not be, clowns. They have zero relevance to the Alabama Special Election.
You can go on with your Clinton turrets until youre blue in the face for all I care. But I'm calling it out for what it is...
Off topic and whataboutism.

You also lack the authority to prevent others from pointing out that Clown is not the same as "sexual perv" and composed (Clinton) is not the same as "safe around women and girls"
Don't get pissy because your assertion was dead wrong.
Joe Biden is straight up creepy around girls, his nickname is "hands". Would you say it was a mistake to nominate him as VP?

Pointing out your non-sequiter with a legit example is not "whataboutism"... A word, by the way , you're going to abuse more than "homophobic" to the point where it loses all meaning.

LOL. If you think Governor Ivey wants to extend this circus, you're nuts. Sure she can extend it. But the primary has already happened. Roy Moore is the GOP nominee until he withdraws or is duly removed by the GOP Republican executive committee of Alabama (which is unlikely at this point). Which he has shown no intent of doing. What's the point of extending the election? What does that get her?

Extending this election is something the Republican swamp in DC would do. To ivey's credit, she's not the swamp. It's good to see that those who claim to hate the swamp, actually approve of their tactics.

Oh I have no doubt that Governor Ivey (who endorsed the Confederacy in act one of her administration and went after Gay people in act 2) would certainly get all swampy if she felt it would do her any good.
But her problem is that extending the election doesn't solve any of her problems.
Moore is still the elected GOP nominee.

RE: Should Roy Moore Withdraw?
Hannity gave Moore 24 hours to come up with a better defense. If he does not? Hannity is calling for him to step down.
2.The Republicans want Sessions to be the write-in candidate.
3.Bannon have second thoughts about Moore. If Bannon starts attacking Moore? Than, Moore lost support from his number 1 backer.

Hannity does not vote in Alabama

Any Republican that runs against him cannot run as a Republican for 6 years

Bannon does not vote in Alabama

Here's the problem. Doug Jones would win in a race with Roy Moore, Jeff Sessions as a write in, and Doug Jones. Moore has people who will vote for him anyway.
You have to convince Moore to withdraw, and then you *might* have a chance. But not much of one. Because Moore will still be on the ballot. Moore isn't withdrawing.

Just curious because it appears that Hannity and McConnell aren't buying it.
Fake sig is confirmed and discredited by all the experts. Not even CNN is using it anymore.

Roy Moores judicial assistant was Dilbert Adams who used a stamp with initials "D.A." [Gloria Allred's low-rent forger screwed up] ?♂️

LOL. Really? Then have Roy sue the accuser for forgery and libel...
Seems like the most appropriate course of action.
