In my opinion, one of the fatal mistakes Roy Moore made was his promise to vote against Mitch McConnell for Senate Majority Leader.

I agree with you; that was a poor move in the chess game. But ... again ... he honestly represented the feelings of the American majority with regard to our opinion of McConnell. He should have bit his tongue, but what he spoke was not out of line. Unfortunately it served to solidify the uniparty's efforts against him. And, he does not have Trump's endearing personality to maintain momentum despite the attacks.

This is what is known as a serious lack of situational awareness. Think of Mitt Romney groveling at Donald Trump's feet for a Secretary of State appointment ... after his ridiculous attacks against Trump during the campaign. Forget about voting for a pr!ck like that. I wouldn't follow him out of a burning house.

The GOP’s efforts were already in place against Moore. Check out his history in Alabama politics, and you get a picture of a guy who burned every bridge he came across in his political career.
