    The “voters need to make that decision” thing is garbage re: way to get out of commenting on Roy Moore. Politicians are always saying things to sway voters’ opinions.

        The voters should have their say. That means me as a voter and everyone else in the country should have a say whether the Senate allows peder-asses in the Senate.

        Translation: ignore how awful Roy Moore is, vote for him anyway so we can give more money to the rich donors that keep us in power.

        This is what got me - of course voters decide but the only person who decides to endorse in the person endorsing. Even before this Moore was such a turd only a few GOP lawmakers were prepared to endorse ( all with the exception of Rand Paul) withdrew their endorsements).

        And then the follow up to say "she can't comment on future candidates" with respect to if as long as they agree with Trump they are ok, essentially saying there is a line at some point but child molestation is not it.

        How about asking IF the voters decide on Roy Moore, THEN what will your position be?

        Funny how that works, unless the voters want to enact LGBTQ protections, or limit the carrying of firearms of course.

        Well, they can’t say “sending our thoughts and prayers”. This phrase is reserved for mass killings of innocent victims.

        Let’s hope that Alabama voters have a conscience. Let’s hope that Alabama voters who voted for president trump actually regret those votes. Here is a chance for Alabama and America to choose the right path. We must still have hope. Vote Alabama. Show the nation where you stand.

        In the 1850s, politicians who didn't want to commit on whether slavery should be expanded to the western territories supported the idea of popular sovereignty, which allowed the voters of the territory to decide on slavery.

        Using "the issue was litigated" following a Moore win will be the greatest abuse of the phrase yet. Refused debates, questions, everything. The literal opposite of fact-finding.
