| Uniparty wrath: Steve Bannon Blamed, Mocked After Roy Moore Loss |
| 2017-12-13 |
| [Daily Caller] Breitbart CEO Steve Bannon was widely mocked in political circles following Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore’s humiliating loss in the deep-red state of Alabama. Bannon was one of Moore’s earliest supporters and campaigned in Alabama for the scandal-plagued candidate. In the primary run-off, Bannon backed Moore over President Trump’s preferred candidate, Republican Sen. Luther Strange. "Luther Strange would have won in a landslide... Just too much crazy in nerve racking times," influential news kingpin Matt Drudge wrote on Twitter following Moore’s loss. "There IS a limit!" "This is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running," Steve Law, president of the Senate Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, said in a statement. "Not only did Steve Bannon cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country, but he also dragged the President of the United States into his fiasco," Law said. Democratic strategist Paul Begala mockingly thanked Bannon for making Democratic candidate Doug Jones’ victory possible. "Special thanks to the genius strategist who did so much to make this happen: Steve Bannon," Begala gloated. |

| #7 Seated until 2018. Conservatives will take the election and seat back at that time, expecially if they can rally behind a single candidate early on. Mo Brooks is already there from the last election. |

| #6 You know it's bad when Paul Begala can make fun of you and there's no clever comeback forthcoming. |

| #4 The Republican Party is a liberal institution under the leadership of McCain, McConnell, and Ryan, all moderate liberals. Conservatives are not represented by any party. |

| #3 No 'presumption of innocence.' Aggressive sex scandaling works! Add a little hate sauce from abortion advocates and the entitlement crowd and voilà , victory salad. |

| #1 I'm sure if Luther Strange won the primaries there would be astonishing revelations of his moral corruption. |
