Hey, what’s say we throw another log on the dumpster fire that is this week, huh? Roy Moore is getting back on that horse to ride again:

ROY MOORE IS RUNNING.
"Yes, I will run for the United States Senate in 2020," he says. "Can I win? Yes, I can win."

And because it can always get worse:
Asked what he'll do differently now versus his 2017 Senate bid, Roy Moore says: "I would like to make more personal contact with people."

We can pray for small favors.
Alright, I'm calling shenanigans. Roy Moore clearly was handed this answer by a writer for The Late Show. https://t.co/lzJOcYdoqb

If only.
In an election where Biden and the Grab-em-by-the-hoo-hah guy are the nominees, is he wrong? https://t.co/SALAD2FSGo

OK, fair point. But still.

And there he is again. He doesn't handle "no" very well. https://t.co/iezaK1rRWE

He does not.
Honest question: Does anyone actually want this? Anyone think this will be good for the GOP? Besides Roy Moore, that is? No? No takers? Bueller? Bueller?
Senate Leadership Fund has a statement out on Roy Moore trying again in Alabama. It is a negative statement. pic.twitter.com/KkjOwC2iFq

Roy Moore is a negative statement.
While announcing, Moore asks, “Why is there such fear, why such anger, why such hatred and opposition to somebody running? Why does the mere mention of my name cause people to get up in arms in Washington, DC? Is it because I’m a staunch conservative?” https://t.co/Fft2F1wVvr
