5. Pretty sure #45 is happy with Moore...

Two reasons (not that they have to make any sense):
1) Moore is the crazier, more nihilistic pick, and fits right in with the other pirates; Bannon - acting as a Trumpian surrogate -stumped for Moore, communicating the idea that #45 was A-OK with Moore.
2) Luther Strange was McConnell's "boy." #45 has been looking for a way to stick it to The Turtle (who couldn't close on the toxic kill-Obamacare issue), and this was a ripe opportunity. This is the best thing that happened to #45 this week (so far).
