I think the Washington Post had nearly 30 people corroborate the accusers stories which were on record. That's a different level.

Nebe, until trump won the election, democrats were quite happy to look the other way on perversion and objectification of women. But my side has declared war on women...

Seems like the Republicans had no problem electing a vile, foul-mouthed person who bragged about assaulting women to the most important position in the world . Now they're going to elect a perverted pedophile to the Senate. But somehow it's about the Democrats LOL

Moore and trump are cases of he said, she said. Bill Clinton and ted Kennedy? Little bit more evidence.

But that’s why I don’t like Moore or trump. There is some hypocrisy on my side and I don’t like it. There is mountains of hypocrisy on your side, on this issue at least.

I Don’t think either one is a pedophile either.

Republicans have been out of the loop for the past 8 years you finally get 1 elected a real peach . and you beat your chest like Tarzan. at year 1 and they still haven't done anything for America

please dont cite unemployment numbers because now you believe them they were going that way already

please dont say the stockmarket because it didn't count for the last POTUS and only helping the rich

Those richest Americans own far greater amounts of stock. As of 2013, the top 10 percent of Americans owned an average of $969,000 in stocks. The next 40 percent owned $132,000 on average. For the bottom half of families, it was just under $54,000.

52 percent of U.S. adults owned stock in 2016. Since Gallup started measuring this in 1998, that's only the second time ownership has been this low. These figures include ownership of an individual stock, a stock mutual fund or a self-directed 401(k) or IRA.

This is like your version of a "comment" in the comment section of a Breitbart article.

Yeah, you're using negative hyperbole not based on facts.

I think Trump will probably look to his favorite TV host Howard Stern to be his running mate next time around, as he truly knows the real Donald. Loved the white house press briefing today, Sarah couldn't wait to beat feet, as there were too many questions about many of the women coming out to reiterate the fact they were sexually abused by Trump. Trump has changed the lyrics to the old Sonny Curtis favorite and the tune now goes "I AM the law and the law wins".

Seems others not so much

The ONLY way the democrats win anything is by fraud and cheating at
the voting booth! I guarantee that if Moore asks for recount, we will
find it. A lot of people out there know what is going on. DEMAND A RECOUNT!

Short term it hurts the Repubs. as they loose the seat for 2 years. A Moore win would have hurt the Rep. for years.

A thoughtful way of looking at it. I swear the gop can’t get out of their own way sometimes. They had Tons of momentum, then they lose a seat in Alabama.

Well Trump isn't Bill Belichick, probably the worse thing for Moore was getting Trump's endorsement and as if the women GOP voters didn't need a push; Trump gives them a good one by going after Gillibrand. Thirty plus swing in those counties Trump won by the largest margin tells me this was more of a Trump loss than Moore or the GOP loosing.

The HCIC needed to grow up when he got elected. he didn't, and now people are starting to grow tired of it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

With things getting more crazy on top of more crazy, we need better people to run. In environments like this, sane people won't.

No doubt politicians on the left would not be mean to her, or would not call her some sort of suck-up to big money or traitor to the black community or various not so nice right wingishness.
