The opposition knows this is not going to work against Moore. Rather, it's just a skirmish to test the periphery before the great battle of 2018 begins in earnest.
The enemy has already outed themselves by identifying Bannon as the true target. So, now anyone with a clue knows what this is really all about.
2018 is for all the marbles. Trump loses Congress, say hello to impeachment. Trump takes Congress, good-bye deep state. Possibly for good.
It's not even about money. Every senator and many/most reps are already financially comfortable. Rather, this is just a pissing contest between people who really have nothing else going on in their lives.
By not developing true skills and authentic family/community networks, they're just hollow shells. Like drug addicts, they're constantly looking for their next fix. This is just a game to them; it's what gets their dopamine receptors firing as they excitedly meet over dinner & cocktails.
But everyone should remember that they just aren't that smart. They could never function in normal society where you have to have skills and deliver value. So, as you observe their ridiculous game plan unfold, jump ahead to where it gets interesting with Trump/Bannon vs DNC/RNC uni-party.
I like your analysis.
My suspicion is that you are correct that Moore will prevail.

Good points, but they conflict with your last post, in which they were fighting for their lives.
I agree that the mid-terms are critical. But I think you are wrong if you think this is mainly about the politicians. Many of them are just pawns. The Big Media players are more powerful than senators.
We have an advantage in that we are more tuned into reality than the opposition, who really are in a bubble.
But some of them know what they are doing, and are playing Macchiavellian games. Maybe most of the politicians. But they are playing by old rules and the rules have been changing.
