BREAKING! RNC DUMPS Roy Moore!!

And here’s yet another nail in the coffin of Roy Moore’s campaign in Alabama.

The RNC has officially dumped the dude:

The Republican National Committee is withdrawing its support for besieged Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, leaving him increasingly isolated as he confronts charges of sexual misconduct with teenagers.

The RNC is pulling out of a joint fundraising agreement it had with Moore, according to a senior party official briefed on the decision. It is also canceling a field program it had set up ahead of the state’s Dec. 12 special election. The committee had about a dozen paid canvassers in Alabama working for Moore. It will no longer transfer any money to the race.

Even as he was battling the allegations, the RNC was reported to still have staffers on the ground in Alabama fighting for him, but it looks like that is over too.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel is expected to brief committee members on the decision on a Tuesday conference call.

Even before allegations surfaced against Moore, the committee believed he was in trouble. Internal RNC polling conducted around a week ago showed him leading his Democratic opponent by just two percentage points. The committee has been evaluating its options about what to do about Moore over the last few days.

But does that mean he’s done for? Or can he brave it all on his own?
