If Putin was helping Trump, why was his lawyer working with Fusion GPS to set him up?

Moore got the results that he wanted. He really doesn't want to actually serve in elected office. He wants to be the center of attention presenting himself as the crusader for all that is good and right. This election, just as the two times he was removed for the bench serve that purpose. Whether his motivation is $, faith or ego remains to be seen. I don't think it is a sincere faith motivation. I think that is just the vehicle. But who knows.

If you don't read people's minds than how do you know what Moore is thinking? Unless...follow me here...you read people's minds.

I think you are probably right. Although I do think he wanted to be elected to the senate. I think he wanted to go there and have some sort of martyr event.

It doesn't change anything. There is no requirement to concede. Al Gore never conceded and GWB was still president for 8 years. Life goes on.
There isn't a requirement to concede. But it looks better if you do.
Al Gore most certainly did concede and as a US Senator, when the Electoral College votes were counted, personally objected when House Members attempted to stop the vote count he knew he would lose.
Hillary most certainly conceded to Donald Trump. But conceding does not mean pointing out that Trump's victory was not a popular one, and doesn't mean that investigations into foreign interference shouldn't be investigated.
Basically, Moore is acting like an ass and Jones is making him look like even more of an idiot for acting like he does. Its usually good politics for a Senator elect who won with only 49.9 percent of the vote in a state dominated by the opposing party to look for ways to make himself look more palatable. Jones will run against Moore for the next three years, if Moore will let him.
Moore is acting like an ass. We agree. The margin was too large for computer errors or fraud to account for.
Al Gore conceded, then reneged and never conceded again (I don't blame him for reneging and letting the first recount play out). He still uses that "former next POTUS" line in his introductions. He was the king of sore losers and if Moore doesn't concede when the provisional and absentee ballots are counted... and there aren't enough od them to make a difference... he will be right up there with Gore.
Either way, life goes on with or without the concession.
I never said Hillary didn't concede.
You’d also swear under oath that Al Gore said he invented the internet as well wouldn’t you?

you fail to recognize the difference between, "reading someone's mind" and speculating. note the "but who knows" at the end of my post.

I bolded the reading people's minds protion of your post since you seem eager to deflect from the fact that you're a hypocrite and a liar.
