Ana Navarro says Schumer wants Roy Moore to win

[Cicada]

On CNN with Don Lemon she made the case that a win by Moore would link Republicans to child sex molestation and for that reason Schumer and some other Dems now want Moore to win the Senate race.

She was arguing that a Moore victory will hurt Republicans more than the Dem taking that senate seat. I guess she says this Senate race is going to be a win for us either way.

1. Hang Trump & Moore around their necks next year

[SCantiGOP]

2. I cant really disagree with this

We are not going to convert their 40%, and they can’t touch our 40%. The fight is for the 20% who may, given certain candidates and issues, vote for one party or the other.

All the crazy fundies are already in their 40%, but a guy like Moore would make the independent voters sick to their stomach when they see ‘Sen’ before his name and ‘R’ after it.

4. Right....

In a game like Tennis you don't run after every return, you give up some so you can win the game. I understand what she is saying...

[tonedevil]

16. Is that like...

Keeping your powder dry?

[House of Roberts]

3. Screw that. I have to live in this state.

If David Vitter, Larry Craig, Mark Foley and Mark Sanford didn't give us a big enough edge, I doubt Roy Moore will be much benefit.

I don't want the evilgelicals to get to gloat about getting Rabid Roy, their Jesus boy, back in power of any kind.

[comradebillyboy]

8. I agree. The best result is another Democrat in the Senate.

[rockfordfile]

14. That's always the best result.

[leftynyc]

21. Don't misunderstand

I think we should fight like hell for the seat and put out ads calling him what he is - a child molester. But he WILL be elected and you know that already. They'll get their Jesus freak, but he will forever be known as Sen Child Molester.

[KT2000]

5. don't agree

if he won and there was an investigation that threw him out, the seat would be replaced with another republican. It is a no win situation for the Democrats except the fact he should be kept out of the Senate.

[dlk]

6. How Would Navarro Know That For Certain?

[comradebillyboy]

9. Why, she is a pundit on CNN. She knows everything /s

[gratuitous]

26. Truth

She barely knows what she thinks, let alone figuring out what people she only knows as caricatures and sketches think. Doug Jones is an excellent candidate and will make a fine Senator. Roy Moore is another cookie-cutter reactionary who despises government and doesn't know how it works. Alabama can do itself a tremendous favor and elect Doug Jones.

[BannonsLiver]

7. I doubt that, but either way we win.

[David__77]

10. I certainly hope that Schumer doesn't support Moore winning.

I hope that Democrats and progressives will work to support his opponent.

[leftynyc]

22. We should fight like hell

and use this as the reason for it - but I think Alabama will elect him. They already voted for one degenerate in donnie, they'll vote for another.

[Nevernose]

11. So says the paid GOP operative

Who’s so proud of her daddy commandong death squads? Fuck that.

She is twrrible and so are her anti-Democratic smears.

[sharedvalues]

12. She'll say anything to tie Dems to Moore. It's asinine - and she's arguing in bad faith.

[rockfordfile]

13. That's stupid.

[Laffy Kat]

15. I don't know.

In a way it would normalize it, wouldn't it?

[secondwind]

17. I hate that my tax dollars will pay Moores salary, if he wins. Grrrr

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Strongly disagree.

1. Moore could win.
2. Voters don't care about his past.
3. Moore could become a force in the Senate.
4. Moore could become a leader in the party.
5. Moore could become the model for challengers in republican primaries.
6. Moore could get nominated to be president.

Be careful what you wish for.

[GoCubsGo]

23. 2. Voters don't care about his past.

Yep. If enough people vote for him to win, it shows most people don't care about him allegedly hitting on teenage girls for sex. I am sure Schumer understands this, as well. I'm not buying that he is rooting for Moore to win.

[retread]

19. Did her eyes roll up as she held her crystal ball and spoke to the spirit world? What an asinine

thing to spew!! This is why I don't watch cable news.

[leftynyc]

20. So do I

and for the exact same reason. Every other con in government will either have to denounce him thoroughly or be known as supporters of a child molester. It will also show what amoral scum every single person that votes for him is.

[Demsrule86]

24. No that is bullshitl..it is all about the numbers...that makes it harder for them to pass their

stink bombs...

[Blue_Tires]

25. That has to be the stupidest fucking thing I've heard today...

You don't give Moore six years of free power and incumbency in the senate and hope people remember to vote him out when his term is up... Schumer forgets people have VERY short memories...

Besides, I thought Trump once and for all killed that bullshit notion that extremist GOP loons getting elected was a GOOD thing for Dems??

[Cicada]

27. Why did Republican Election fund cut off money to Moore?

The National Senatorial Election Committee, the group in charge of electing Republican senators has severed ties to Moore. That is consistent with the view Moore will hurt Republicans more than he's worth. And Doug Hye a former Republican aide in the House and Senate told NBC news that Moore is more trouble than a senate seat is worth.

I still can't root for Moore to win though. Maybe my emotions are distorting my judgment.

[Blue_Tires]

29. still plenty of ppl supporting him, though

[hatrack]

31. Two years - this term would end in the 2020 cycle

Sessions' old seat.

[snooper2]

34. you think that fundie nut would last 6 years in the Senate?

LOL

[Ilsa]

28. If we want a D in the senate, Schumer should

Go to AL and campaign for Moore.

[karynnj]

30. Rather stupid comment, win or lose they ran a pedophile

The difference is we have 48 or 49 Senators until January 2019. The Republicans have had trouble not losing 3 and failing to get 50 percent. One more Senator does not sound like much, but it makes a big difference. We need to win 2, not 3.

[OnDoutside]

32. I'm sure Chuck would take a Dem Senator for 2 years in a Red, Red, Red State over the admittedly

fun prospect of a batshit crazy, paedophile Roy Moore hanging around the Republican caucus like the clap.

[brooklynite]

33. Not an unreasonable assessment

If Jones wins, he'll have to stand for re-election next year, when Republicans will have the opportunity to run a sane candidate.
