Maybe because they recognize him as a moral hypocrite. Partisanship and partisan loyalty shouldn't go so far as to compel one to defend the indefensible.
There's still almost a month to go before the election. If Moore steps down now, there may be a chance the seat can be saved. THAT's where partisanship comes into play. Sticking by an untenable candidate while his reputation implodes doesn't do the GOP, or conservatives, the least bit of good.
Indefensible? Nothing has been proven. You have shady accusuers and a shady reporter with a criminal past who does hit pieces against Republicans. Funny how you give all that a pass and yet give Moore no benefit of the doubt.
There's no evidence that Moore is untenable. All you have is a WaPo hit piece trying to drag his numbers down. All this fiction is in your mind because you are already biased against the guy and ready to throw him over the boat.
Funny how anyone who disagree with gays or transgenders is a bigot, but someone dating women you think are a little too far apart in age is reprehensible. You seem to have a very double and hypocritical standard of what is acceptable in romance.
