Roy Moore was a lock to win the Senate race in deep red Alabama until the news broke that he’s a child molester. That led to a stunning loss to Democrat Doug Jones.
The loss had to be considered an upset given the politics of the state, but it’s not exactly a mystery what caused it. It’s obvious to normal people that other normal people aren’t going to vote for a child molester. But not to Donald Trump. The Hill reports:
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Saturday during a closed-door meeting with Republicans that the president asks him "all the time" why Moore was unable to defeat now-Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), according to The New York Times.
“The president asks me all the time, ‘Why did Roy Moore lose?’ ” Mulvaney said, according to audio obtained by the Times. “That’s easy. He was a terrible candidate,” he continued. Jones beat Moore by 1.5 percentage points in December.
For one thing, this sounds like a 3-year-old asking daddy the same question over and over again because he either doesn’t understand the answer or he keeps forgetting. But what’s really crazy is that he has to ask the question at all. It shows exactly how lacking in morality Trump is. He literally doesn’t know right from wrong. He doesn’t understand the revulsion that most people feel toward child molesters. This, ladies and gentleman, is the kind of person who now sits in the Oval Office.
We desperately need a Blue Wave in November to save this country.
