People like McConnell, and in particular that AZ cuck Jeff Flake don't seem to understand that it's about more than just one man. If they run and hide every time things get tough, they'll never win even on the tactical level. The Alabama Senate seat is strategic. We can always put Moore under heavy scrutiny and force his resignation if necessary, but a Doug Jones win would have serious ramifications for the next THREE YEARS! Not to mention the fact that if you let the Dems get away with an 11th hour smear campaign which conveniently happens after the candidates are locked in, you'll be encouraging a LOT more of them in the future.
I'm sure I'd dislike Moore as a person based on his penchant for bible thumping and yes, I'm sure he's probably a hypocrite. But what he did 40 years ago is a lot less critical in the grand scheme of things, than what the Dems can do with a Doug Jones win over the next three years.
Ah yes, abandoning morals and values in the name of political expediency. “I hate me some pedophiles and sexual abusers....unless it’s a republican and we really need the seat.”
That’s kind of what got us here to begin with.
