Trump still stumping for Luther Strange. On Tuesday, the president tweeted:

"Big day in Alabama. Vote for Luther Strange, he will be great!"

It's the third time the president has spoken out in favor of Strange, who was appointed to the seat after Sen. Jeff Sessions was confirmed as U.S. Attorney General.

Voters will go to the polls today in the first step towards deciding Alabama's next U.S. Senator.

Alabama doesn’t need a Strange senator. They deserve Moore.

MAGA - Make Alabama Great Again.

I still can’t understand why he did that.

It is some more of that 4D chess. This guy is smart, don't cha know

I’m beginning to think that Trump is his own worst enemy. Why would he prefer an acolyte of McConnell over a man who supports his agenda?

Many of us who supported him are beginning wonder, “WTF?” And HR McMaster just soldiers on cleansing the NSC of Trump supporters...

Bad mistake, Mr. President. In spite of your groveling, McConnell will continue to obstruct everything you promised voters you would do and Strange will follow his orders, not yours. Let’s hope AL voters are smarter.

That's great, is that a campaign slogan?

The clearest explanation of RINO #1, Mitch McConnell, is by Mark Levin. He has made CRTV Episode #314, available free at his website,
https://www.crtv.com/

As clear an to the point as Ted Cruz´s Senate Floor call-out.

Not sure. But I’m guessing a primary thread later today or early
evening. Polls close at 7 central time.

True. I think it were better if the President stayed out of primaries.

Some are predicting a low voter turnout for this primary. So which ever candidate has
the best organized get out the vote should come in first. Runoff bound most likely.

ALABAMA FREEPERS: VOTE FOR ROY MOORE. If Turtleman’s boy Luther Strange is elected to a full term he’ll PROMPTLY become a Flake (as is Arizona’s Senator Flake) supporting McConnell & the Deep State.

I’d love to see a Brooks-Moore runoff, with the winner helping the loser oust Dick Shelby.

I assume he’s trying to get his judges and other picks through. If I lived five miles west I would be happy to vote for Moore or Brooks.
