    Interesting question for intellectually honest Democrats... https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/12/07/the-view-from-alabama-why-roy-moore-will-win/bMorqGhRAM6DBtTQR2OP6N/story.html …pic.twitter.com/1caDjWVeR0

        I don’t think it’s that tough. I’d never vote for Cruz. I wouldn’t vote for a Dem assaulter either. I’d demand and help Dems promote a write-in who isn’t a perv or the Zodiac Killer. 👀

        I like that idea, and wish they had taken your advice. But what if you “demand” that—and it doesn’t happen? Alabama voters now have a binary choice.

        Yeah, I guess I’d have to stick to my principles and vote my write-in knowing it was probably a wasted vote. I can’t vote against my interests or my principles. It’s a pretty sad day in politics when voting is a Sophie’s Choice situation.

        And here’s an intellectually honest answer from a Democrat: I wouldn’t vote for anyone accused or suspected of violence against a child, precisely because IT IS VIOLENCE AGAINST A CHILD. This is the thing Moore supporters do not comprehend. They are now “those people.”

        Right? LOL yet more equivocation between being inappropriately handsy and *freaking child sexual assault*. One deserves the loss of a public servant job and one deserves to be locked away for a long time and ostracized from society. Forever.

        Not a Dem, but that's what write-ins are for. It isn't hard at all... Question for intellectually honest journalists: if you discovered that treating politics as "shape of the earth: views differ" was literally killing people would you stop doing it?

        In this scenario, does Al Franken say the country was better off during slavery or nah?

        Is Jones really like Ted Cruz? Seems more like a Susan Collins.

        So your position is, sexual abuse of a child is better than abortion? Not that both are disqualifiers (at least if you are anti-abortion)? So the fetus has rights that must be protected, but the child does not? THAT is your position?

        willing to overlook one improper relationship to change possibly decades of domestic and foreign policy? that’s what the question is.

        Only one? He has assaulted or abused over 14 girls, and been removed from the bench, TWICE, for crazy-ass decisions leaning towards making assault, abuse, and rape LEGAL. So again, rape and assault being legal is okay with you, just so long as abortion is reversed?

        no, in the reverse hypothetical situation. ted cruz’ policies ($1.5T tax cuts, cut medicaid/medicare, etc.) vs. franken’s (liberal stuff, including women’s rights), just ask yourself what you’d be willing to overlook.

        Not abuse. I would go vote for a third party candidate or do a write in.

        1) Franken didn't do this to CHILDREN 2) Doug Jones is FAR from the insipidness of Ted Cruz However, if things WERE equal...and they are not....I'd vote write-in.
