So the Alabama GOP has kind of dug in and gone all in on Roy Moore.

The National GOP has hit the eject button including an ever increasing number of Senators who are taking the position that "Roy Moore should leave the race now" instead of "if it turns out he can be proven guilty in a court of law".  An increasing number are saying maybe he shouldn't be seated or perhaps he should even be expelled if he wins.

Tough situation.  Moore voters make up the core constituency of Alabama GOP officeholders, but for the national party I think they see Jones winning as a lesser evil at this point.  If Moore wins they will either have to seat him, or not seat him or vote to expel, all of which have serious consequences with either their core Trumpy voters or with non Trumpy voters costing them a large number of seats nationally.

I suspect the preferred outcomes for McConnell and co. are, in this order:

1.  Luther Strange wins as a write in (unlikely)

2.  Jones wins.  GOP doesn't have to confront the issue of seating Moore and having Moore and Trump be the face of the GOP until 2020 and further the electoral tsunami in 2018 and 2020.  And they can likely win the seat back in 2020 anyway.

3.  Moore wins.

Dog!  Here Dog!  Oh fuck we didn't lose the Dog did we?  He wasn't even a sock.  I can handle burning a sock or three, but Dog and TMSail are not socks.  They are human beings.  Oh the humanity.

Settle down. Dog will be by after dinner.

Damnit men!  We’ve lost some good men in this.  I know the topic is risky and our usual defenders are under great stress.  But the fact they have been silenced is very unsettling.  Thoughts and prayers.
