Senate GOP running out of options to stop Moore

By midweek, the mere mention of Moore’s name prompted anguished looks and exasperated answers from Republican senators.

“I’m really done talking about Moore,” said Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), who is usually happy to talk about any topic with the Capitol press corps.

“I’m not going to get in the middle of that, I got enough problems without that,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) when asked about the race.

“It’s up to Alabama,” he said.
