Sen.-elect Doug Jones (D-Ala.) said early Thursday that his Republican opponent, Roy Moore, would “do well” to concede the election and “move on.”

“I understand the frustration a little bit. It is a close race, but I’d say ‘look, it’s time to move on,’” Jones told NBC’s “Today” show when asked what he would tell Moore, whose campaign was plagued by accusations of sexual misconduct.

“Every race is tough. It’s bitter sometimes. I think this one was one that the people of Alabama have now spoken a little bit and they decide to heal," he added. "And our campaign has been about that.”

Moore has refused to concede the special election, telling supporters in a video late Wednesday that he would would wait for the Alabama secretary of state to verify the vote.

1. the problem...

...is that Moore very likely believes God wanted him to run for Senate. Which means Moore believes God planned to have Moore win the election. Losing the election contradicts his interpretation of God's will.

5. Sometimes God does answer our prayers.

And the answer is "No".

6. And sometimes the follow up answer is "Move on." And "Go and sin no more."

2. Moore not conceeding delays Jones being seated. The Tax Scam hangs in the balance...

Wonder how much money has been funneled to Moore to remain silent.

3. Actually

No it doesn't. Doesn't change the outcome and doesn't change the process. Concession is a courtesy not a rule or any part of the process.

4. It speeds certification of results.

If the loser concedes, the certification process can move at a faster pace. There are certainly procedures that still must be done, but there are procedures that become unnecessary if there isn't a challenge.

8. My guess is that Trump has erased Moore from his memory--te he.
