That could work. Get enough democrats and sane republicans behind him and Strange could pull it off.

Not a chance.  Also, I'm not sure why everyone seems to think Moore is still gonna win.  I mean, ignoring the fact that a bunch of folks here are just using this thread to be obnoxious trolls, Jones is probably favored at this point.

I'm really not trolling at all on this one.

In that case, and I never thought I'd say this, I really don't think you're giving Alabamans enough credit.

Honestly, this likely will get worse for Moore.

Expect more victims to come out in the coming days.

[Santander]

I’m calling fake news on this story,IF this were true then why didn’t these women come out and reveal this back in 2000 or 2012 or before the primary during the runoff oh right because it’s fake news!

Did you even read the article?

He did not.

Yes I read the article I’m not understanding why they (WAITED) 40 years to reveal this that’s why it seems like BS fake news.

One of the victim children were still in school she did not want to disrupt them from having a childhood. Be considerate and leave the partisan defense alone for once.

The people are that hackish. It's not terribly hyperbolic to say that Roy Moore could molest a minor on live TV and Republicans would dismiss it as fake.

Okay seriously, we all need to make multiple PredictIt accounts and MAX OUT ON MOORE!

What was Doug Jones doing in 1979? What a great contrast that'd make for a campaign ad!

Alabamified:

"In 1979, Doug Jones was prosecuting violent felons to keep Alabamans safe. In 1979, Roy Moore was soliciting sex from a 14 year-old white girl."

Well this helps Moore. The swamp he campaigned against for months is leaving him, only allows him to disavow them furthur. Strenghthens his outsider credibility.

[Cashew]

Give it a week, he'll be forgiven.

[InheritTheWind]

I didn't think I could hate an elected official more than Donald Trump. Roy Moore, come on down!

[Cactus Jack]

This is not the sort of issue that just goes away.

He's already been forgiven by Jesus Christ, and that's all that matters. Who are you to judge?

[Keep cool-idge]

The GOP is 100% right IF this is true he needs to dropout and be replaced with Mo Brooks.
Again though this reminds of ted Cruz BS that came out NE back during the primary.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

If Doug Jones can't manage to pull it out against an Extreme-Right pedophile, I give up.

[IceSpear]

Quick, someone check if Doug Jones has ever sent any emails!

Jason Chaffetz. Sooner or later it's going to happen.

Weird how being a Trump supporter will probably boost her credibility.

Let's not go there.

Here is a photo of McConnell having a long conversation with Strange just now on the Senate floor.

My first thought when I saw this was "if there was evidence of this, Moore might actually lose!" But that's the problem...How long do you really think unsubstantiated claims are going to stay in the news and sway Moore voters? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Moore sued for libel at some point; even if the claims are true, as long as Moore can reasonably paint it as an evidence-free witch hunt until election day he'll still keep his voters.

And attempts by the "establishment" to edge him out will only further convince Moore voters that this is a witch hunt out to get "their man" and put in some RINO.
