Heilemann: ‘For Sure It’s Better’ for the Republican Party If Roy Moore Loses

‘That is not good for the Republican Party’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "John Heilemann, is it better for the party if Roy Moore loses?" 
HEILEMANN: "Oh, yeah, for sure." 
BRZEZINSKI: "He’s all two-word answers."
HEILEMANN: "For sure it’s better for the party. The Republican Party suffered a lot when Todd Aiken was around and everybody in the party had to answer for his comments about rape and about consent. This is a situation where Democrats will rightly hang Roy Moore around the Republican Party’s neck if he ends up winning this race and ends up at the United States Senate. He’s someone who is going to torment the leaders of the party if he’s a senator, so he’s going to be difficult to work with, he’s going to be — he’s going to do nothing constructive for the party if he wins and he’s going to do a huge number of destructive things politically for the party if he’s sitting there in the United States Senate."
