McConnell is quite happy about tonight.
You think they care more about one senate seat than YEARS AND YEARS of this fool weighing them down personally?
A long thinking republican should be relieved about tonight's result. Only a pussy freaks out over 2 years of a dem.

Moore oils have been a weight on every Republican for his entire tenure. Jones doesn’t make the electoral map in 2018 any easier for the Dems.

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

Only in minds of paranoid anti-establishment types is the Senate President's support of a sitting senator of his own part a failure of leadership.
Stop making excuses. The nutjobs in the Alabama Republican Party caused this debacle by selecting Moore in the primary. They will no doubt cast blame on others for their colossal lapse in judgment: McConnell, the media, the deep state, hacked voting machines, whatever. Their poor judgment is only surpassed by lack of self awareness.

Uh yes it is.
He's just as much as it is to blame Bannon for this debacle.
He's less popular than Obama in Alabama.
He had to known that Luther Strange was tainted beyond belief with that corrupt bargain with the luv guv and the senate appointment and what are his choices?
You’re Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the race is getting messy. Do you:
(1) Stay out of it
(2) Use your super PAC to nuke Roy Moore
(3) Ignore Roy Moore, trust Luther to beat him 1 on 1, and nuke a third candidate, House hard-liner Mo Brooks
He chose option 3 because he mistakenly assumed that Luther Strange would get Mo Brooks voters for the runoff against Moore even after they slandered the hell out of him and drug him through the mud.
There's a reason why Brooks endorsed Moore.
