Luther Strange is a sitting Senator. Trump is not stupid.
Yes I support Moore. But I don’t blame Trump for his endorsement. He needs the votes right now. Nothing wrong with it.
I suspect Trump went “Strange” as a way to put McConnell on the HOOK for getting behind elements of Trump’s agenda. So far as I could tell, Moore is STILL ahead in the polling and Trump was aware of that. His remark during the rally seems to indicate that was the plan.
If it fails to pull McConnell in, you can bet that will be the last time Trump tries to get an IOU from Meathead McConnell.
I do hope Roy Moore wins but he was on Mark Levin’s radio show last night and was less than impressive. I really wish Mo Brooks was in the runoff against Luther Strange (what a name).
If I lived in Alabama I'd be supporting Moore, but I also recognize that he could present some problems in the U.S. Senate that Strange is not likely to have. Think of the difference between Rand Paul (who I really like) and your normal run-of-the-mill GOP senator who is willing to quietly compromise and cut deals.
McConnell duped Trump.
Trump should act on principle.
So it looks like Moore will replace him. :)
