Roy Moore like Vladimir Putin more than Ronald Reagan. While the Cult of Reagan is ridiculous, it appears to be dying. Many have quipped that Reagan would be called a RINO by today's Republicans, but this is an amazing quote.
I haven't heard anything, but it's an appalling missed opportunity if Democratically aligned independent groups weren't trying to convince Alabama Republicans to write-in ANYONE but Moore. They should've thrown resources behind Lee Busby. All they need at this point is about 10% of the electorate who can't vote for either guy, but might vote for Moore because of the R next to his name, to stay home next week. Or vote for a write-in.
There is an excellent chance that Roy Moore becomes a gift to Democrats as a foil, but there is another argument. I think Franken had to resign, because he had lost public confidence. Some Democrats are pissed, because Trump is still in office despite doing much worse. But Democrats need to be the party that stands for the institutions of this country. That means Franken needed to go and Roy Moore needs to be defeated by any means necessary, including a little ratfucking.
