It was the sexual allegations right at the last minute of the race and nothing more. Had the sexual allegations not happened at all Moore would be the winner.

More importantly it is our instructions to believe what ever bad things women say about men, with a few questions as possible, and to then act.

Roy Moore did and said a lot of things that offended liberals, especially liberals without religious faith. However, Alabama is in the Bible Belt. Before the sexual allegations were reported Moore enjoyed a comfortable lead in the polls.

The sexual allegations were not proved in a court of law. Nevertheless, they were plausible enough to cause many Christian conservatives to vote for Doug Jones, or to refrain from voting.

If there is any issue where Christian conservatives should agree with feminists, and where most of them do agree, it is that sexual aggression against girls and women is evil.

It is bad enough for a grown man to hit on teenage girls. To keep doing it despite repeated rejections turned Roy Moore into a national laughing stock. :2razz:

This isn't really true, at least not for Alabama polls. Moore was not in a comfortable lead compared to past Senator elections the last about 2 decades for Republicans. He was only ahead by 6 points, averaging in almost every poll less than 10 point lead even prior to the allegations. And still polled at less than half the vote. His predecessor (Sessions) was polling ahead of his opponent consistently by at least 15-20 points, maintaining over 50% of the vote. That is not a comfortable lead for someone in Alabama when considering the history of that state's recent elections.
 
"Roy Moore himself" is inseparable from "sexual allegations" though, isn't it? I voted for the latter, but really they're the same. (Well, except to those who dishonestly pretend that accusations against liberals are true but accusations against conservatives are fake).

If Roy Moore hadn't relentlessly tried to diddle little girls when he was in his 30s, you mean....

Allegedly he tried to diddle little girls. There is no confession by Moore. There is no video of him didddling little girls or even admitting to diddling little girls. Nor is there a criminal trial where his guilt was proven.

I agree, but, from the perspective of this side of the pond (UK), is that a negative in the USA?

Any such would get no chance over here, obviously.
