Josh Barro, senior editor at Business Insider, published a column on Wednesday morning arguing that Roy Moore's victory attested to people's mistrust of the GOP establishment.

Barro called on readers to "forget about Moore ... for just a moment" and posited the question of "why anyone would have voted for Luther Strange."

"Strange stood as an avatar for two things: a Republican political establishment in Alabama and one in Washington, neither of which has much to offer voters," wrote Barro.

"... it's hard to figure out what the case for Strange was besides 'he's not crazy like Roy Moore.' As we saw in 2016, 'my opponent is unacceptable' isn't necessarily a winning argument, in a primary or a general election."
