Stephen Stromberg, columnist for The Washington Post's "Postpartisan" blog site, argued in an opinion piece that Roy Moore's victory was a loss for America.

Stromberg said that Moore "is still almost certain to beat Jones" but claimed that he "would make an unusually toxic addition to Washington."

"Unburdened by a sense of responsibility or institutional tradition, Moore will have opportunity to use the considerable powers that individual senators possess to mangle the process of government," wrote Stromberg on Tuesday evening.

"Roy Moore stands for anarchy, disorder, disunity and conflict. His platform just got higher, and his power more considerable. Every minute he is in a position of national prominence, the country loses."
