John McCain doesn't equivocate, when it comes to Roy Moore.

[Siwsan]

Nothing about 'if the allegations are true'. Just step away from the campaign!

1. Jones!

[Siwsan]

3. It will be MOST interesting to see how this plays out

And what a sweet 'flip' this would be!

[FSogol]

2. What about the allegations against Trumpy? Just locker room talk or should he resign too?

[Siwsan]

6. I'd like to think there would EVENTUALLY be a tipping point

I keep wondering and trying to work out how someone could POSSIBLY think it acceptable to support someone with trump*'s background and reputation. I got nothing.

[SergeStorms]

40. He's found god.

Yes, Trump is a "saved" man now. His play-guy ways are all behind him now, yes sireee!

Republicans are the biggest hypocrites in the world. It's not a problem as long as you're a Republican. Jebus will always forgive a Republican (but NOT a Democrat), because Jebus is a Republican himself. Just ask any of them!

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. +1000000!

[SweetieD]

4. The fact that they are quick to condemn him makes me think, internal polling for him is

bad, really bad. Maybe in light of Tuesday's results, they want something to blame other than the fact that the republican agenda is garbage..in case Moore loses. they will blame it on these allegations and the fact that he he should have stepped aside.

[elfin]

5. Makes sense to me

Either that or many repubs already knew it was probably true from past rumors and would play out that way. Didn't make them bring it up before to keep him off the ticket, though.

[gopiscrap]

8. that's exactly what I was thinking

[eppur_se_muova]

17. Exactly. Publicly released polls have not been that great for Moore.

http://local15tv.com/news/local/doug-jones-still-trails-roy-moore-in-senate-race Scroll to the bottom.

Among *registered* voters, Fox's poll found a dead-even race. Most polls put Moore ahead among *likely* voters. The average is ~6 pts. That was before the allegations came out, obviously.

[Alice11111]

22. You nailed it. I hope he stays though because we will win.

That's exactly why the Repubs will take him off the ticket.
It kind of dents bannon's credibility too.

[Nevernose]

38. If true is not condemnation

John McCain managed to say the right thing, but the rest of the GOP seems to be pretending like Moore doesn’t even exist. They’re all still backing President Pussy-Grabber, I doubt they’ll stop backing Senator Hypocritical-Jesus-Freak.

7. When is this election?

[justiceischeap]

9. December

and the ballots are already printed, so even if he stepped aside, he’d still be on the ballot.

[moda253]

14. Thanks!

[sarah FAILIN]

13. 12-12-17

Ballots have already been cast for some people I think.

[irisblue]

10. Luther Strange can be written in on the election day of 12/12/17.

The ballots already have Moores' name on them.

[moda253]

15. When this happens don't they count the previously printed as the step in as well?

[irisblue]

20. From FindLaw.com. Alabama Title 17. Elections 17-6-28

::::disclaimer. I am not an attorney, I do not live in Alabama. All research is from google. I do believe alot of Alabama lawyers are right now reviewing the statutes and will be up very late tonight. This will be very interesting to watch. ::::: Write-in votes shall be permitted only in non-municipal general elections.  The ballot must be constructed so that the voter can mark a write-in vote for each office in the same manner that votes are registered for regular candidates.  In order to cast a valid write-in vote, the voter must (1) write the name on the ballot and (2) register the vote by a mark in the space designated for that office.  A write-in vote shall not be counted if the vote is not registered as provided above.  If a voter registers a vote for a name on the ballot and then writes in another name for the same office but fails to register the write-in vote, the ballot shall be treated as if no write-in vote had occurred and the regular vote shall be counted.  If a properly registered write-in vote causes an over-vote, it shall be treated as any other over-vote and none of the votes for the over-voted office shall be counted.  However, the remainder of the ballot shall be counted.  When counting write-in votes, poll officials must check for over-votes if the electronic ballot counter does not perform the function.

23. Chaos. I love it. Maybe, it will split the vote. As Bannon said, you

Can't believe it because WaPo broke the story, and it's owned by a liberal.

It has 300 fact checkers!

Wow, if we could take back Alabama for a 6 yr Senate term, it would be a sea change.

If the Repubs have any sense, they will take Moore off.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. I noticed McTurtle said, "if they can be proven". On the one hand that sounds perfectly reasonable.

On the other. Like Cpt. Bonespurs, all they have to do is saying she's a lying such and such. It's just too damn bad they cannot be proven.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

25. My contrary thought was...

if the allegations were disproven, then Moore could even see a poll rebound.

Are there any formal charges brought against him? Maybe one of these ladies has a tape or photos.

[GoneOffShore]

26. Love the Cpt. Bonespurs, but shouldn't it really be Private Bonespurs?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

36. "Captain America called me and personally promoted me. That I can tell you. Beliiiiiieve me!" nt

[GoneOffShore]

39. Hah!

[IronLionZion]

33. How would it be proven?

There are so many ways to cast doubt on any witnesses or evidence since it was so long ago.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

35. I guess that's what I clumsily meant to say. They'll try to paint her as a liar and then

go "No evidence. Nothing to see here. But had it been "proven" then we'd be outraged like the "family men" we are.

[oasis]

12. Roy Moore needs to be behind bars. nt

[spanone]

16. hey john, he sounds like a perfect republican candidate...just like trump

[Madam45for2923]

18. Donald stepped in teenage contestants of Miss Teen Universe locker rooms while they were undressing

[mac56]

19. People in politics, especially judges,

are people of often unchecked power and influence. That alone is sufficient to suppress the truth for decades, especially when the victims were children, as I’m sure anyone should be able to understand.

[kairos12]

21. No way he steps away. Many Trumpists are racists and perverts.

[lame54]

24. Moore doesnt have to take this - he should...

Fight it for another 3 weeks before he drops out

[Motley13]

27. A democrat in AL, wow

I think it can happen.

[olegramps]

28. How can anyone expect homophobic, bible beating, racists to not love their Messiah?

They dream of the return of the good ole days of Robert E Lee, whipping staves and selling cotton.

[Doreen]

29. I realize that there are Democrat perverts but how come repuke predators still get

elected when they do it but Democrats get thrown to the lions? Maybe I am just prejudice but it seems like there are more repuke predators than Democrat predators.

[Stuart G]

30. Moore might..might have a chance if it was one, but it is 4 or 5.

The others were 17 and 18. I guess, someone might call one a liar, but 4 or 5 to take a chance and accuse leading politician of sexual activity like this.. a judge at that, takes courage. Moore is done, he may not know it, but he is done, burnt to a crisp.

And he will resign. 4 weeks to the election. What will be discussed for 4 weeks?
guess what?.............Are these women telling the truth?
..................Who do you believe, the women or the judge?
..................Oh, this judge defied the Supreme Court?...wait, isn't that against the law? Isn't it in the Constitution that the Supreme Court is the decider of the law?..

.......If he deified the Supreme Court, what is to keep him from defying other laws?..

...............oops...Roy Moore got caught..for all to see.......end of argument....even McCain says "get out"
Didn't McConnell say the same? almost?

[TheBlackAdder]

31. "Proud of?" What? It's Alabamer, where the motto is, "Old enough to pee, old enough for me!"

[AtheistCrusader]

32. Ten years ago he would have.

But yeah, old mcgrumpy pants has zero fucks left to give.

[dalton99a]

34. Good.
