Moore had skeletons and was outed or at least was accused of misconduct. That is the election i do not believe its a barometer of future elections.
Not so. I'm not a Dem and what I posted are facts + my opinions about those facts, not some party/Dem narrative.
If President Trump had stuck with his original position and let the Alabama voters decide, without lending Moore his strong endorsement, it would not have reflected badly on Trump.
However, that's not what he did. Instead, Trump told Alabamans to vote for Moore, despite the fact that Moore is a conspiracy theorist and a religious extremist (and is accused of sexual misconduct with young girls way back in the day).
Trump told Alabamans over and over that he needed to keep that seat Republican in order to get his agenda through. Some Alabamans voted according to Trump's preference, but more Alabamans rejected Trump's call to vote for Moore. Trump and Bannon lost this one and the other side won. That's a fact, no matter how much backpedaling is attempted after-the-fact.
