Moore easily wins the GE. Too many racist, rural, Evangelical GOP voters for a Dem to win statewide. LonePirate Sep 2017 #1

But I would like to see us force them to spend some $$$. The big pocketbooks (other than those few that Bannon can squeeze) won't be open for Moore.

And this is just fine with me because Moore will be a thorn in McConnell's side.

If Democrats can portray him as toxic, we might have a chance.

I've gotten several emails about ALabama asking for money.

Scenario 1
Moore-R wins the December 2017 AL US Senate Election. He creates controversy during his first 2 years in the US Senate because he is Roy Moore-R. Democrats nominate a top tier candidate in 2020. 2020 AL US Senate Race will be a Tossup.
Scenario 2
Moore-R loses the December 2017 AL US Senate Election to Jones-D. The 2020 AL US Senate Republican nominee is likely to be less crazy than Moore-R.
Democrats are better off with Moore-R in the US Senate, He is likely to destroy the National and AL State Republican Party.
