Perhaps. He wasn't up for reelection until 2020, and a lot can happen in 3 years. But his political opponents would surely have brought up the sexual misconduct accusations.

One think to keep in mind is that the blue wave (aka Dem advantage) of 2017-18 is likely to subside, at least partially. And then how much fun do you think Fox News would have had with the ethics investigation?

#SexualAssault#BreakingTheSilence It's an interesting question, and could come to pass. However, today more important to deal w/ present reality of#NoMoore#RoyMoore and#TrumpToo, than with a hypothetical.#Conyers and#Franken gone/on way out;#GOP still embracing predators. -
We can think about more than one thing at once. But yes, Roy Moore should not be elected to the Senate (or anything else).

Easy, you leave him there. Because in that case the damage caused by removing him (empowering Republicans) outweighs the benefit of removing him. We have to be true to our morals--but we have to protect people who will be hurt by Republican policies as well.
