We need someone to back insurgents to challenge incumbents, and without a quarterback like Bannon to coordinate a national effort, it will be a haphazard disjointed movement at best.
Remember that Democrats have to defend 23 seats in 2018, and Jones has to run again in 2020. Republicans should grow their lead next year. After two years of Doug Jones, Alabama may sour on his liberal votes.
The problem is that without carpetbagging, Bannon will have to go with the best that each state has to offer. The hope is that a Bannon can attract people to step up and not run away from the cause because of McConnell's scorched earth fragging.

If you are a Republican in 2017 and you lose a statewide election in Alabama, then it’s safe to say you were unelectable by any objective measure. I love Bannon’s political philosophy but his political acumen took a serious hit yesterday.
I heard an interview with Bannon last night. He said Mo Brooks was his guy.
