Roy Moore's political future

[Dr. MB]

Does Roy Moore have any sort of political future after this? Will he run against Jones in 2020 or will he aim for some sort of Alabama office like Supreme Court (again)?

[Tartarus Sauce]

I certainly hope so, then Democrats might have another chance at winning an office in Alabama.

[junior chįmp]

He'll probably run for dog catcher and lose to Dennis Rader

If that’s the case, then tonight’s result is proof that there really is a god. He kept that bastard out of the Senate.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Seeing that he lost a nationwide race in freaking Alabama, I doubt Trump or the RNC would be too thrilled with the prospects of him running again. I do hope he challenges Jones in 2020 though! Easy reelection!

[TJ in Oregon]

lol no way. The fact that he almost won despite being accused of raping teenagers after the primary is more a testament to how much the Democrats are hated in Alabama than Roy Moore actually having a political future.

[Strudelcutie4427]

He'll be voted Sexiest Man Alive by the Onion

[pbrower2a]

He has been exposed for what he is.

[Tintrlvr]

Of course he runs again. It's Roy Moore; he'll keep running for office until he's dead. Whether he wins any more Republican primaries is a different question. He'll very likely try to run for the AL Supreme Court again though.

He can't. He's past the mandatory judicial retirement age.

God is a great troll!

Lean no. The dude is done anyway. Richard Mourdock/Todd Akin redux.

Worse. Known sex offender, which neither Mourdock not Akin was.

Knowing Donald Trump, Moore will probably get nominated to the Supreme Court.

If that was no sarcastic answer:

Nah, even the orange clown isn't that dumb, knowing that Moore's chances to get senate confirmation are ZERO. Even with 52 or 53 GOP senators.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Yes he will run again, but he will not make it past the primaries.

[Cactus Jack]

He'll keep running and keep running until his mortal coil fails him.

[HisGrace]

As much as I usually want to answer "yes" to questions like this, I really think he's done, except for sending out "take back America" newsletters to his supporters or whatever.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I suspect he goes third party and runs for President in 2020 on the Constitution Party ticket, but only if Trump is forced from office.

I don't know that they'd have him.  They wanted him in the past, but he wouldn't take the plunge.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I think he’ll run for senate in 2020 and get destroyed in the primary

[Fuzzy Bear]

I think he’ll run for senate in 2020 and get destroyed in the primary

I think he'll do so as a third party candidate if he runs again.

Moore would love to stick it to the GOP Establishment.  And I'm sure he'd love to stick it to Richard Shelby.

They'd take him in a heartbeat. They took Bob Smith for God's sake!

Bob Smith wasn't a child molester though.

[Paramore]

The Constitution Party would probably be eager to gain the support of a (now) nationally-known figure. The question is that if Moore thinks he has a political future, would he want to basically forfeit any chance of being elected by defecting to a third party?
