Do you think it would be better for the Democratic Party if Moore wins?

[Poiuyt]

A lot of people are saying that a Moore win would stain the Republicans for years. I think Lindsey Graham even went so far as to say it would be the death of their party. I don't think I'd go that far, but it would be true that we'll be able to paint Republicans as racists, bigots, and sexual perverts for some time.

Personally, I still think it would be better for Jones to win. Anything that can slow down Trump's dangerous agenda is good for the country.

1. There are all ready enough haters and nuts in the republican party.

We don't need Moore.

[struggle4progress]

4. +

[rainy]

9. Nice word play😆

[applegrove]

11. I was going to say 'more'. Then i realized i could replace it with his name. It

was accidental.

[Hortensis]

35. Agree. But more, THEY need to see others like them drawing a line.

[edbermac]

2. Noooooooooooooo!!!!

I do not want to that hideous shiteating grin on Trump’s face if he does.

[VMA131Marine]

3. What would be better is Doug Jones winning

And then proving to be a competent and popular representative of his state.

[shenmue]

5. Are you high?

[tonyt53]

15. Same thing I was thinking.

[marylandblue]

6. Better Jones wins, but a Moore win could hurt the Repubs in 2018

[rzemanfl]

7. Republicans have been racists, bigots and perverts for most of my adult lifetime

and I am seventy.

[sprinkleeninow]

30. Hay! 😉

And many go to 'church'.😠 Oh, yeah.

Plus they've been emboldened today by the main one and the cohorts in the two chambers. 🆖👎

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. No.

[kysrsoze]

10. How so?

No.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. No

I keep hearing "if it's bad enough people will never vote Republican again". Hasn't happened yet.

[House of Roberts]

13. I prefer the state of Alabama

repudiate Moore after reelecting him to the State Supreme Court following the Ten Commandments monument fiasco. If he gets elected this time, he'll be worse than ever. I don't want to see him validated again.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Jones all the way... would send the best message to defeat that child molester.

[longship]

16. Ummm! Let me guess...

NO!

How's that for an answer?

[fallout87]

17. No...

It will be yet another R vote in the senate and the voters will forget about his past in about 5 minutes.

[David__77]

18. Absolutely not.

No more than with Donald Trump.

[roamer65]

19. If Jones wins, the Dems win. If Moore wins, the Repukes lose.

Either way, the Repukes are shitscrewed.

[Willie Pep]

20. No, we tried to paint Trump as a racist, bigot and sexual pervert and he still won.

I think it is very wrong to assume that there will be some kind of Moore effect that will hurt the Republicans. Partisan Republicans don't care and a lot of swing voters don't care about sexual misconduct issues either. I don't think this issue is as big among the general population as it is among people in politics, the media or political junkies like us who follow these things closely. A lot of people will shrug off the accusations or say "well, the Democrats are the same, look at Franken."

[Wounded Bear]

21. Not really...

Long term, and looking at the mid-terms, if Moore wins there would be some good shit for Dems to run on.

But overall, I'd rather have that seat be Dem, as a start of the Blue Wave we hope to manage in '18.

Besides, we need another Trump loss.

[Iahotdog]

22. It would be a slap in the face for Bannon and trump and better for us in the short term

But the thought of the burden of moore hanging around the necks of those self righteous bastards and maybe destroying their party sure would be a nice outcome.

[Demsrule86]

40. I care about stopping the GOP from destroying this country...and it sure didn't hurt the Gop

with Trump being a rapist so I doubt Moore would hurt them either.

[Skittles]

23. no

it would be just plain sickening

[SFnomad]

24. Did Jill Stein write this OP? n/t

[davekriss]

25. I think the plan now for the Repubs is support and cheat a Moore win

Then, after Moore is seated, expel him for his misdeeds and replace him with Sessions. That will be followed by appointment of an FBI director who will fire Mueller and, well... either we man the barricades or stick a fork in us, our democracy will be dead.

That doesn't mean Moore is a sure thing. But, for me, that explains the pivot to support by the RNC and Trump's aggressive pro-Moore campaign.

Just sayin' I really think these are bleak times.

[PoliticAverse]

26. No, with a 2 vote margin in the Senate, every seat is expremely important. n/t

[JHB]

27. No. Screw the *heightening the contrasts* view...

A Moore win emboldens them, a Jones win knocks them back (and keeps a raving loony tune out of the Senate).

[VOX]

28. Nope.

[JI7]

29. NO NO NO, people are fucking stupid. they voted for Bush and then fucking trump after amazing Obama

[sprinkleeninow]

31. N-O spells no. No. No. Noooo! Thank you.

[DFW]

32. Absolutely not. If someone doesn't consider the Republican Party to be "stained" by now

Then nothing will ever stain them. Moore would only make things worse for us, not them.

[pnwmom]

33. I don't see how he can stain it more than DT already has. n/t

[dansolo]

34. I can't believe anyone woukd even suggest this

Absolutely not. If we keep framing things on how they look politically, we will end up in the permanent minority. Moore is completely unqualified and is a shiity human being.

[murielm99]

37. +100000

[get the red out]

36. No

People's lives literally depend on blocking the R agenda where possible.

[Funtatlaguy]

38. If Moore does win - we tie him to EVERY Republican .

Want Jones to win.
Want 51-49.
But, if Moore wins, we should tie Trump and Moore to everyone in the GOP.
EVERY Dem should start every sentence with.....”The Trump/Moore takeover of the Republican Party......”

[Demsrule86]

39. No, winning is always better. One more vote for the bad guys (Republicans).

The idea that you win somehow when you lose is bullshit. Think about how devastating it will be for the GOP. Here is hoping that it happens.

[yardwork]

41. Do you understand how Congress works? The majority party controls everything.

[JustAnotherGen]

42. Nope

[Kablooie]

43. Was Trump better for the Democrats because he won?

You can't stain Republicans more.
They just absorb it and it becomes the new norm for America.
