Roy Moore — for the good of conservatism, it’s time to go

America affords each and every citizen the right of due process, the presumption of innocence over guilt, the constitutional right to stand before one's accusers and face the courtroom music. And that includes Roy Moore. But for the good of the Republican Party -- for the good of the conservative cause -- it's time he stepped aside and let another fill his shoes. He simply can't be effective any longer. Published November 16, 2017

Maybe. But what's Romney's angle on weighing in? Published November 10, 2017
