Good piece by
Robert Costa. I'll just note two bits but it is worth reading in full.
Quote:“You are going to see, in state after state after state, people that follow the model of Judge Moore, that do not have to raise money from the elites, the crony capitalists, from the fat cats in Washington, D.C., New York City and Silicon Valley,” Bannon told Moore’s supporters on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Breitbart and Bannon himself, not to mention the Moore candidacy, are funded mainly or significantly by hedge fund capitalist fat cat Robert Mercer. So that's all consistent.
Quote:Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel — who traveled to Alabama to meet with Bannon and is considering challenging Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) next year — called Moore’s success “inspiring”
And who isn't inspired by Roy Moore's win? Homos go straight to jail. Check. People who are members of the wrong religious faith group disallowed access to political office. Check. The Constitution and all laws in America held to be invalid where conflicting with Biblical Law (as interpreted by Roy Moore). Check.
Now that's inspirational.
So, all in all, lots to admire about the Trump/Bannon insurgency and the modern GOP.
Final note: The chamber of commerce and the NRA campaigned against Moore. So these boys are all over the place in this budding civil war. One danger here, and there are a few, is that it may be easier up the road for the well-organized and long-game oriented Koch crowd to take advantage of the disarray we're seeing.
