Roy Moore announces he's running for Alabama Senate seat

[spanone]

Former Alabama Judge Roy Moore announced Thursday that he will make another bid for the Alabama Senate seat he lost to Democrat Doug Jones in 2017 in the face of sexual misconduct allegations.

Context: Moore was almost guaranteed a win as the Republican nominee in Alabama’s 2017 special election, but a wave of sexual misconduct allegations, largely involving teenage girls, derailed his candidacy. The resulting chaos handed Jones a narrow 49.9%-48.4% victory — making him the first Democrat to hold statewide office in Alabama since 2008.

1. What became of the allegations? Nt

2. Not good.

Given voters' short memory spans, he just might gain the seat.

4. Now he'll wear the term pedophile with great pride

It’s the Republican way. Like McConnell embracing and loving being called the Grim Reaper. Yeah! Puff out your chests with pride! Good ole stereotype southern boys!

5. Because that's what America needs right now - more crazy.

Damn

14. I hope he lets his wife speak again..

Remember that statement she made that they had a Jewish friend, so THERE!!!

6. I only have one thing to say -

7. That is a gift to Democrats

Alabama might have been a hard seat to defend, but not against Moore.

8. Great observation!

9. Don't be so sure. His supporters know he can lose again

so they'll absolutely not stay home this time. He barely lost last time. He could definitely win.

10. That is a possibility

However, I think that because of the presidential election, more of our side will be activated as well. I think that Moore is probably the only candidate that they can run who is likely to lose.

11. great news, by far the easiest Rethug oppo for Jones to retain his seat against

I hope Paedo Roy wins the Rethuggie primary.
