As I predicted almost two months ago when Moore was trying to weasel out of a debate with Strange, Moore now has no intention of sharing a stage with Jones.

But going completely radio silent, leaving all the campaigning to surrogates, social media managers and Breitbart News?

That is a poor substitute for democracy.

If you can't trust your candidate to speaking without saying something embarrassing before the election, how can voters trust him to mind his public musings after the election?

1. Kyle Whitmire scores again. He's an AL treasure.

The last line in the OP pretty well spells it out. Moore avoids the public because he can't stop himself from committing embarrassing errors -- and election to Congress wouldn't do anything to improve that.
