The right tries to regroup after Roy Moore's loss in Alabama. A roundup of columns takes a look at the issue.

1. Steve Bannon is a cancer on the GOP and Roy Moore’s loss won’t stop him

From USATODAY: He’s not going to build a political party from the ground up, he wants to demolish it from the top down.

2. To save the GOP, Republicans have to lose

From Washington Post: The Alabama election was like looking into the abyss.

3. Republicans are paying a price for their extremism

From Vox: The GOP’s self-destructive primaries have cost it a lot of power, particularly in the Senate.
