It's more than a cranky old white man in a group of 100 members. It's more than preserving a republican vote.
Once Roy Moore is in the Senate, he's a public officeholder. Media attention. Donations, perhaps mega-donations. And a vehicle for the RW movement conservative evangelicals.
For those of you who are holding your breaths, waiting for 2021 (or 2025 at worst) when Trump leaves D.C., who do you think will be promoted as his legacy? Sure, Mike Pence, . . . . but Roy Moore for President! He's the wild card. And after laughing off that Trump couldn't win the nomination and/or the presidency, we can't be so sure anymore.
Moore can't be allowed anywhere near the seats of power in D.C. and control our lives.
That's why this election is such a big deal.

Trump is a rapist and sexual predator
Trump tweets overtly racist and irrational statements and no one does anything or attempts to stop him
Republicans regularly make excuses for the racist and irrational tweets
The republicans are pushing a tax plan that will destroy the very underpinnings of our country and brutalize our countrys most needy
The Republican Party endorsed a pedophile
Trump is about to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This will destabilize the entire Middle East and create war, death and famine and very well could end the world (which is what the Christianity death cult wants)
