Could the plea by Flynn today affect the turnout in Alabama Senate race?

Could some Trump loyalists think twice about voting for Trump's candidate, Roy Moore, after today's events?

After all, Trump had told all of them that there was nothing to the "Russian" investigation. He said it was all a "hoax".

Is there enough doubt there to make some of the cult question their loyalty to Trump and Moore?

Sometimes psychology can play roles in elections that are hard to interpret.

anyone who's willing to vote for Moore at this point is unreachable, and probably becomes more solidified in their vote the more "fake news" comes out about their preferred candidate and presidency. at this point, Moore could be caught on local news flashing elementary school children and streaking through their playgrounds, and it wouldn't matter. Moore supporters are well beyond the lost-cause stage.
