How Roy Moore won the first battle of the anti-McConnell war - NEWS TODAY

All the Republican establishment's money and muscle couldn't stop culture warrior Roy Moore from ousting Sen. Luther Strange here Tuesday night.

Now, suddenly, other outsider candidates see a much bigger opening to make Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a villain and turn the party on its head in the 2018 midterms.
"This shows it can be done," said Danny Tarkanian, who is challenging Sen. Dean Heller in Nevada's Republican primary. "It shows the amount of money McConnell and his super PACs put in the race can't change the feeling that voters have right now."
Moore's victory comes at an uncertain moment for GOP lawmakers, donors and operatives. The party's stumbles on Capitol Hill have fed into a growing frustration with its leadership, and Moore's win underscores the vulnerability of incumbents such as Heller and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake. Another possible target, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, announced his retirement Tuesday.
For all the right-wing insurgency's bluster -- and despite its efforts in places like neighboring Mississippi in 2014 and Arizona last year -- a sitting GOP senator had not been toppled in a primary since Indiana's Richard Lugar in 2012.
