An interesting letter in the WSJ, claiming that Moore is a win-win for Democrats

The letter writer claimed that Moore is an anarchist who just wants to defy the turtle.

Thus, he will vote No on any legislation coming from the leadership, effectively adding one more NO to the Democrats.

Fine with me.

Moore won't be good for anybody

If he wins, we'll have hang him like a dead skunk around the neck of the GOP, but he'll still be a catastrophe for the whole country

Roy Moore's base couldn't give a flying fuck about the tax plan. This is about the fundie takeover of the one branch they don't have a majority on - the judicial branch. They would love to get rid of them icky activist judges and install a new wave of religious tyranny. That's what this is about, and we can't let them have it, or it really is game over.

He may oppose a bill here or there that isn't conservative enough, but on taxes, budget cuts, sticking it to minorities and immigrants, he will vote with the rest of them.

If Moore is a win-win for Democrats it would only be because his victory would increase the motivation of Democratic voters in 2018 even more.
