re: Blame Bannon all you want but this loss is due to the FAILED leadership of McConnell.

McConnell just got a big boost in potentially holding majority in 2018. His loss was the primary. But beyond that, if was to limit damage. Now, he won’t have Moore to hang around the neck of candidates in places like MT, WV, MO, and IN.

Brannon is obviously a big loser here. He takes on establishment, and then loses a seat for the GOP in one of the most red states.

Trump is a loser, but less so. Going o for 2 on endorses candidates is not good, and his margin for votes in senate decreased.

Huge win for dems. Anytime you can steal a seat in a place like Alabama for 3 years, that’s Big. It also makes path to senate majority more plausible. Without this seat, even the best case scenario was 50-50 in 2018. Now it opens up a few more possibilities. NV, AZ, TN, and TX of course holding serve everywhere else. But it may give more optiona
