McConnell is the big loser in this one. His people pumped millions into Strange. Strange's loss let's the establishment on both sides know no one is safe. We the people are fucking up the establishment's system. Midterms should be a real hoot.
Trump is playing along to get along meanwhile letting the establishment destroy themselves.

If you think Moore is an outsider/non-establishment pick, you couldn't be more incorrect. He IS the far right establishment. He is a darling of the evangelicals. McConnell didn't want him because he knows he will be another Rand Paul type who will vote against anything that even looks like it might be anywhere left of batshit crazy.
You are right, in that the midterms should be pretty wild. On the Republican side, I don't think we will see many real anti-establishment candidates, but we will likely see right wing establishment candidates Vs. more moderate establishment candidates. I won't be shocked if after the midterms the Republican party finds itself fractured and in a constant struggle between the moderates and the hardcore conservatives.
