I believe Roy Moore is going to win the Alabama election on Tuesday to earn a Senate seat. Doug Jones, his Democratic competitor, is the new Hillary Clinton – so horrendous in political ideology and campaign strategy that even a battered Republican can beat him. He’s on the attack against Moore now and it’s making him look even worse than he did a week ago.
Many have speculated that the GOP loses whether Moore wins or not. If he loses, the GOP loses a seat that should have been securely theirs. If he wins, they get to carry him around like an albatross about their neck with the mainstream media pointing to him every time anything related to politicians and sexual misconduct rears its ugly head (which has been multiple times a week lately).
There’s one way out of this mess for the GOP: if Moore wins, then steps down to allow Alabama Governor Kay Ivey to name his temporary replacement. Of all the gambits the GOP has considered – from having Luther Strange step down before the election to threatening an immediate ethics investigation on Moore if he wins to not even placing him in the senate – this one seems like the best for all parties involved. They could even ask Moore to pick his own replacement in a backroom deal with Ivey and the RNC.
We need a constitutional conservative in this seat and as many seats as possible. Moore is that guy, but he comes with too much baggage. If someone else can step up to fill that role, then the GOP can come out of this relatively unscathed. The media and the Democrats will continue to press the issue and attempt to use this as a case for allowing the more “refined” coastal states to lead the way in picking our leaders instead of the “backwards” inland states, but that narrative won’t have much of an effect other than making them continue to feel superior.
Would Moore do it? We can assume he wouldn’t; why put himself through the rigors of a controversial campaign if he was going to step down after achieving his goal? Still it’s something the GOP should strongly consider urging. If they do it privately, they’ll have a much better chance than if they were to do it publicly. Moore could save face by saying he learned through this whole ordeal that the political process is ugly and he no longer wants to be a part of it. The GOP can save face by claiming they knew something like this was a distinct possibility, which is why they generally stopped attacking.
Perhaps I’m grasping at straws on this one but I just don’t see another option that doesn’t end badly for everyone involved. Wishful thinking may be getting the better of me.
