The Republicans in the Congress will lick Trump's excrements from the floor even though Steven Bannon is after many of their hides. If Moore gets elected, he will remain seated as long as the GOP controls the Senate and become another permanent degradation of an American government institution.
McConnell has already stated the investigation will be initiated immediately if Moore is elected.
I assume Alabama has a republican governor, so booting Moore won't cost the republican party any power, since the Gov will name a replacement like they're doing with Franken in Minnesota.
The only worry, is I don't know what power an ethics committee has exactly.
McConnell has backpedaled so fast he is practically breaking the sound barrier. Moore is Steve Bannon's man. Steven Bannon pulls the Donald's strings. The Donald had put his weight behind Moore and he has thin skin. McConnell is spinless and will lick Trump's ass to shift himself slightly off center of Bannon's sights.
Need I say more?
