When word came out that Roy Moore was a creepy perv, you saw some fairly quick denunciations from members of Congress. That accelerated over a week. Then, about a week out of the election, they began to walk back their criticism (Jeff Flake and Richard Shelby being the exceptions). My guess is that Moore's polling cratered, but then began to rebound as Republicans "came home."
Right now, GOP professionals believe that the GOP are headed for a "bloodbath" next November. A lot can change, but we've already seen a lot of announced retirements. Expect more as we get closer to the summer. Guys will see what Jeff Flake saw and simply give up the fight.
