Man after listening to that speech you would think that God was running on the ticket right along with this accused pedophile.

Roy Moore has frequently said, in social media posts, that he will never give up the fight.
And after he lost the Alabama Senate election on Tuesday to Democrat Doug Jones, Moore is sticking with that mantra -- refusing to concede the race to Jones.
He waited more than a hour after the race was called to address supporters in downtown Montgomery late Tuesday night, then told them to wait some more.
"Realize when vote is this close, it's not over and we still have to go by the rules," Moore told the crowd, which cheered when he appeared on stage.
Even as Moore refused to surrender, Alabama GOP Chair Terry Lathan issued a statement late Tuesday night acknowledging Jones' win -- concluding her statement with "now that this race has ended."
An automatic recount only comes into play if one candidate beats the other by less than 1 percent of the vote, but since Jones beat Moore by 1.5 percent that will not come into play here.
And if Moore thinks he will get any support from Donald Trump, well he has another think coming.
Now while we are all celebrating the people of Alabama (Actually the black people of Alabama.) for rejecting this teen girl assaulting asshole, keep in mind that over 650,000 Alabamans voted for his racist ass.
So perhaps we should keep the victory parade a little short, and then recognize that there is still much work to be done.
But as Julian Castro pointed out there are those who certainly need to be aware that something is coming.

That Mr. Moore is known as being thrown under the bus. (Say hi to Reince Priebus, George Papadopolous, and Michael Flynn while you're down there.)The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2017

Be afraid, @tedcruz . Be very afraid.
