Steve Bannon went in big on Roy Moore, crowing that he’d won the primary for the Alabama theocrat, and that he was ready to win the Senate election for him, too.
Oops.
It’s kind of fascinating seeing Bannon/Breitbart’s reaction this morning. No sign that Jones actually won, or that black turn-out made a huge difference. Nope. It’s all about how The Bad Guys (the media and the establishment Republicans) “stacked the deck” against poor, benighted, underdog Roy Moore.
Remember how the GOP — Bannon included — keep saying, “Clinton lost. Get over it”? Steve might want to take his own advice. But he won’t.

Did you know that Breitbart means 'Wide-beard'? Or that Steve Bannon always wears three shirts?

Mr. Hill, a serious question from a non-American: How much of a difference can the as-yet uncounted votes (military etc) actually be expected to make?
+L Gorrie I don't know what the numbers look like. I've not seen any expectation that the could overturn things; at most, they might bring it within mandatory recount range, but nobody seems to think that, either.
+Dave Hill Thanks. Even though I’m not affected in any way, I still like to hold out hope that a thoroughly Republican state like Alabama could not elect a man like Moore.
+L Gorrie I also believe a lot of the absentee / military ballots have already been counted.
