Hillary Clinton's evil, Doug Jones is just a Democrat.
Which means he can be counted on as a lock-step vote to keep abortion legal, common and subsidized by the taxpayers. I leave it as an exercise to the readers to determine if that's evil.
As for Trump being better off without Moore so the Dems can have a clear field of fire, I think your reasoning may be faulty. If I were Trump, I think I'd rather like to have a lightning rod installed in the Senate. Franken will be another because I'm pretty sure he'll renege on his promise to resign if Moore wins.
I'm rooting for a Moore win just for the sheer entertainment value. Things are just starting up.
