1. Two more not using that cowardice horse shit "if proven to be true".

5 Republican senators endorsed Roy Moore before the WaPo report: Paul, Cruz, Lee, Cornyn and Daines.

In the last 15 minutes, 2 (Lee and Daines) have withdrawn their support.

4. This is starting to snowball.

We're getting close to the point when a "normal" candidate (regardless of party) would drop out. If Moore refuses, it's going to get very ugly, very soon.

5. Moore WILL NOT withdraw

His ego is far too big to let him, he'll ride this out to the bitter end. Either way he'll claim the allegations against him are false and are the result of political dirty tricks.

A couple of months ago his son was arrested for illegally hunting on private property and hunting over bait. This was the younger Moore's NINTH run-in with the law, and of course Crazy Roy claimed it was all a political ploy.
