Moore's Loss a Red Win?

Politics is the art of the spin

To turn a loss into a win

Moore went down in flames

Chasing after teen age minors without shame

Despite denials and a victim altering her yearbook

The sheer volume  of victims in the new Puritanism convinced the voters he was a perverted crook

Having now a razor thin margin of 51-49

Will be hard for Trump and McConnell to keep Red Caucus in line

Add to that the fact that McCain is fighting for his life with cancer of the brain

Two votes lost and the ambitious Trump agenda goes down the drain

But not having a toxic Moore in the Senate would not be worth the four years of pain

Four years of the Blues claiming that the Reds are the party of perverts as their daily refrain

Two more years of a toxic emboldened Bannon creating havoc

Two more years of primary challenges to incumbent Reds running amok

Bannon trying to the establishment Reds destruct

The seat will be recovered in four years with an untarnished Red with a winning campaign to construct

On the silver lining side the man Moore defeated in the primary is alive today

Had Moore not won, Mo Brooks with prostate cancer would have had his PSA test delayed
