It sounds like if Strange doesn’t win, the Republicans will help the Democrat against Moore?

For any political movement, it is usually difficult or impossible to cite a single beginning point. Most have antecedents going back decades. The same is true with Trump's rise to the Presidency. However, one of the key beginning points for the current groundswell was the Thad Cochran Senate election in Mississippi. I think that made clear to many exactly who the enemies were and where the battle lines were drawn. The Cochran win was a Pyrrhic Victory for the Republican Establishment.

Yes, and let’s NEVER forget that Rand Paul and Ted Cruz helped McConnell in Mississippi (again as per Sundance/Conservative Treehouse’s excellent research reporting).

Rand and Cruz are sleeper GOPe.
