Check the results of Moore's previous campaigns in AL. If he were as popular as we were led to believe, he would have survived the media onslaught. (In fact, he almost did anyway -- the election was razor-close.)
But Moore never was a darling of AL; he certainly did not start his senatorial campaign with anything near the +28% margin that Trump garnered in AL last year.
As far as the media campaign, yes, Moore would have won handily without that. And now we can expect that next year, in the mid-term elections, in any race that is anywhere near close, every single Republican candidate will, a few weeks prior to the election, be facing three or four women (and/or men who were just boys years ago) claiming inappropriateness, harassment, or sexual assault. Credit Mitch McConnell for that.
Cand David French survive David French?
Give me a break. Moore won the primary fair and square.
For the love of God, look at the financials of both parties. Donors give to those in power, The Republicans are flush.
So much wishful thinking in that post.
Heller is almost certainly a goner running in a blue state with a motivated Dem base.
The DNC doesn’t need money because the Dems will have unlimited funds from their billionaire donors. They like to run dark money ops through outside orgs.
Any MAGA Republicans who win primaries like Kelli Ward will be attacked as unelectable just as Moore was by the GOPe. K Street won’t donate to them and they will be massively outspent by billionaire backed Dems. Guaranteed.
I wish it wsan’t the case but it it was it is. The GOPe have a track record and ignoring that won’t change a thing. The GOPe nave no interest in MAGA and have shown they prefer progressive Democrats to MAGA. Sorry.

Back away from the edge. It will all be OK.
If Trump can win, anyone can!

No, she’s “Crazy” Kelli Ward and “has no chance of winning.” The progressive corportist GOPe won’t be supporting a MAGA Republican like her. Guaranteed. Dream on if you wish but that is a fact.
The Democrats are hoping that former governor Bredesen will run for Corker's seat in Tennessee. Whether he would be able to beat the Republican (perhaps Marsha Blackburn) is another matter. Is Tennessee one of the "possible pickups"?
Linked on drudge right now. Alabama is the template for the GOPe going forward and most certainly not a one off:
