I hope I'm wrong and we can hang Moore about the neck of all these "Let's wait and see" Republicans.

I'd love toe seem Moore stick to his guns, as they say.

Unless Moore refuses to go, the Republicans are going to retain that Senate seat. They might anyway (but at a much greater cost especially now with McConnell statement).

I wonder if Trump is promising Moore something sweet like an ambassadorship (probably not a good thing for him) or a judicial nomination (can't see how he would get confirmed).
