It’s official Establishment backed Luther Strange has lost to Pro-Trump candidate Roy Moore. This loss is a huge blow to the GOP establishment who put over $30 million dollars into this race. Although Trump did back Strange this is not by any means a referendum on him. Trump knew that Strange was a candidate that was likely to lose but supported him for leverage with the current establishment on Tax Reform!
