Q: The Dec. 12 special Senate election in Alabama is being touted as the next clash in the ongoing battle between  Steve Bannon  and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the soul of the Republican Partyâwhat  Bannon   with characteristic hyperbole  calls a âseason of war.â Roy Moore  the GOP candidate  stands accused of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct  including allegations that he molested a 14-year-old girl. Thatâs prompted McConnell  a Kentucky Republican  and most of his GOP colleagues to disavow him.  Bannon   by contrast  was Mooreâs most important ally in the wake of the sex scandal  at least until President Donald Trump took to Twitter to weigh in on Mooreâs behalf.
McConnell knows that having an accused child molester in the Senate would be toxic for his partyâs image  and that Mooreâs stubborn recklessness would make his own job next to impossible. For  Bannon   one suspects  this is the whole source of Mooreâs appeal.
Bannonâs stated rationale for backing Moore is that heâll help carry out the populist revolt that the former White House chief strategist is attempting to lead against McConnell and the GOP establishment. Itâs an odd claim to make  since Moore is less of a âpopulistâ than a âtheocrat.â He was twice kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court  once for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument  the other time for refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples. Whatâs more   Bannon  has a more powerful weapon to deploy that really does align with  his  professed politics and would all but ruin McConnell:  He  could oppose the Republican tax plan.
 Bannon  rose to prominence by espousing a brand of Republican politics that differed sharply from what party leaders such as McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan were pushing. Instead of tax cuts for the wealthy and slashed entitlement spending   Bannon  thought the GOP should become a âworkersâ partyâ focused on strengthening the middle class. This idea was so popular with conservative voters that when Trump took it up  he won the Republican presidential nomination. It also helped  him  steal blue-collar voters from Hillary Clinton in the general election.
Since  his  inauguration  however  Trump has consistently deferred to the same Republican leaders whose priorities  he  exposed as being out of step with the rest of the country. Nothing illustrates this better than the tax plan McConnell and his allies are frantically trying to rush through the Senate.
In sum  the GOP tax plan makes a mockery of what  Bannon  and  his  followers claim to stand for by directing its major benefits to the kind of plutocrats who donate to McConnell and his Republican colleaguesâone reason the plan is deeply unpopular with most voters. A recent ABC News poll found that 60 percent of Americans think the plan favors the wealthy  and just one in three support it.
So far  Bannonâs populist revolt has met with only middling success. Although heâs pledged to run insurgents in 2018 against every GOP incumbent but Ted Cruz  a strong slate of candidates has yet to emerge. One place  Bannon  has succeeded  though  is in tarnishing McConnellâs image among Republicans. Polls consistently show the majority leader to be the least popular member of the Senate  and an Oct. 24 Harvard-Harris poll found that most Republicans wish  he  would resign. If McConnell canât pass a tax bill  he may have to.
Given this vulnerability   Bannon  could use his influence and platform at Breitbart News to highlight the plutocratic skew of the GOP plan and demand that its spoils be redirected to the ordinary workers who elected Trump. Calling on Republicans to swap out the estate tax repeal  carried interest breaks and cuts for millionaires for  say  a payroll tax cut aimed squarely at the middle class would put McConnell in an impossible bind  while providing  Bannon  the dual benefits of being broadly popular and entirely consistent with  his  and Trumpâs 2016 campaign message.
Instead   Bannon  has been raging at McConnell without doing much to inhibit his agenda. He may yet carry Moore to victory. But if McConnellâs tax plan becomes law  thereâll be little doubt as to who is the true victor.

 Pickett  pleaded guilty in an agreement with prosecutors in October  after authorities said  he  posted several times online that  he  wanted to assassinate Trump.
The posts included frequent profanity and detailed death threats.  Pickett  also taunted federal authorities when  he  wasn't immediately arrested.
 His  co-workers reported the threatening posts to the Secret Service.  He  was later arrested.
Under terms of  his  sentencing last week   Pickett  also will be on supervised release for three years.
