Steve Bannon to headline Roy Moore rally in Alabama on Monday night
Axios ^ | Jonathan Swan

Steve Bannon is heading to Alabama Sunday night to rally for Judge Roy Moore on Monday night with Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty.

Why it matters: This rally is three days after President Trump, Bannon's former boss, was in Alabama rallying for Moore's opponent — Mitch McConnell's favored candidate Luther Strange. For Bannon to make a rare public appearance in such close proximity to Trump shows how invested he is in this race specifically, and attacking McConnell more generally. Another former White House adviser, Sebastian Gorka, rallied with Sarah Palin for Moore on Thursday.

From a source close to Bannon: "Steve is coming to Alabama to support President Trump against the Washington establishment and Mitch McConnell. Steve views Judge Moore as a fierce advocate of Trump and the values he campaigned on." Allies of Strange and Republicans close to the White House dispute that premise, and Trump points out Strange offered his support for Obamacare repeal with no strings attached, whereas Roy Moore has said he won't support anything less than full repeal. Trump last night seemed conflicted about his Strange endorsement, suggesting he'd made a mistake and would support Moore if he wins. Moore leads Strange by 9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

"I'll be honest, I might have made a mistake... If his opponent wins, I'm going to be here campaigning like hell for him." — President Trump on Friday night

Breitbart has gone all in for Moore and is doing its national radio show on Sirius XM from Alabama today through Wednesday.

Sorry, headline should read “Monday Night” instead of Sunday night.

Maybe Steve should call on McConnell to rip McCain’s chairmanship of the Senate Armed Services from him. . . it would get lots of Media play . . .

Great news......Trump’s huge campaign crowds didn’t show up to endorse an RINO.

“Roy Moore will not win the general if he wins the primary”

Yes, it certainly follows that a state that overwhelmingly supported Trump last year will all of a sudden flip and vote for a democrat who opposes Trump. Yes, sir, that elementary logic.

Didn't they say the same thing about Trump not being able to beat Hitlery?

Please provide us with some reasons for you statement that he would not win the general election if he wins on Tuesday.

Maybe. But that does not mean we should not support and vote for him.

You forgot to add that the earth as we know it will be no more and the universe will go down the toilet.

Liberal promoters try that scare tactic every election.

Donald Trump will not win the general election because he is too extreme? Anybody remember that.

I believe Trump is sure he mad a mistake. I guess he wanted Mitch to help him with the repeal of ACA...

All Trump’s rally speeches I’ve watched, I watched to the end. But his Alabama Luther Strange-endorsing speech was becoming to creepy to bear. If only Bannon was still in the White House, what a shame.

That’s what I think. Even when Roy Moore wind on Tuesday, Trump still wins.
