Third party votes aren't bad for our side *if* the voter in question is otherwise a staunch Republican. If such a voter casts their vote for a write-in, that is minus one vote for Roy Moore. It is essentially the same as if they didn't show up to vote. And wouldn't it be great if lots of staunch Rs didn't show up?
