As the election draws near, and President Donald Trump changes his view, will Republican voters in Alabama come out for Roy Moore? A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the “impossible choice.”

Opinions from the Right:

1. An impossible choice

From the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: Advice for Alabama voters: Don’t ignore your conscience. Show the country you know what is right.

2. President turns blind eye to credible accusations against Moore

From the Sun-Sentinel: Do Republicans need a win so badly they will turn a deaf ear to allegations of sexual misconduct? They might.

3.  Want to Know Why Roy Moore Might Win? Blame the Media.

From Politico: If Moore wins the race, will it be the media's fault?
