Yep - it was a united front opposing Roy Moore and, by extenstion, Donald Trump. From Conservative HQ.

"As our friend Michael Patrick Leahy reported for Breitbart, three secretive Washington, D.C. consulting firms founded by former Obama campaign staffers provided millions of dollars in advertising services, apparently Roy Moore Senateentirely on credit, to Highway 31, a shell independent expenditure organization based in Birmingham, Alabama that supported liberal Democrat Doug Jones and opposed conservative Republican Roy Moore.

On Friday, just four days before the election, two of these Washington, D.C. based firms dropped another $101,612 into the Alabama U.S. Senate race, bringing the total spent to date by three firms run by Obama campaign alumni as apparent "in-kind” contributions to Highway 31 to $2.8 million in less than one month.

The counterweight on the Republican side?

Zero." End excerpt.

Yessiree; the GOP literally threw this election away to screw steve bannon and Donald Trump. After forcing Moore to spend all his money to counterbalance the fourteen million bucks that Mitch mcConnell spent to steal the seat for his RINO buddy Luther Strange the Party refused to support Moore, who was facing a tidal wave of outsider cash.

The article continues:

"The Washington GOP establishment dumped Moore just like it campaigned against Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock and a host of other outsider candidates who might well have won, had the party backed them to the hilt, as it backed damaged establishment candidates like Mississippi’s Senator Thad Cochran.

And we don’t mean only monetary support – although that was incredibly important as Moore was out spent better than 7 to 1 in reports filed before the final push by the shadowy Democrat organizations backing Jones.

We’re talking about the kind of party support that is make or break in a close race.

Alabama’s Republican Senator, Richard Shelby, made a point of going on TV the weekend before the election and campaigning against his fellow Republican by saying he would not and did not vote for Roy Moore.

Instead, he wrote-in the name of a "prominent Republican,” and the write-in votes cast for no name candidate Lee Busby and unnamed "prominent” Republicans look like they would have been enough to clinch the election for Moore.

And the drumbeat against Moore wasn’t confined to just Senator Shelby; a bevy of other Republican Senators were all over TV in the last weeks of the campaign saying they wouldn’t vote for Moore and suggesting darkly that if he were elected they would throw him out of the Senate.

Senators Cory Gardner, John Thune and Rob Portman all piled on Roy Moore and worked against electing him – the one chance they had of maintaining the tenuous Republican majority in the Senate."

End excerpt.

This was as dirty a deal as I have ever seen. As I pointed out recently a staffer of Jeb Bush is accused of giving the Moore story to the Washington Post, meaning the GOP was doing oppo research to destroy Moore. When they didn't get their way and Moore refused to resign they pulled all support so that Moore would lose - and that so they could hold their own power over the GOP. This is beyond rotten.
