A primary win by "Ray" Moore would open Alabama's U.S. Senate seat to Democrats, President Donald Trump told radio-hosts "Rick and Bubba" this morning.
Trump called the popular syndicated radio show on Monday, just days after appearing at a Huntsville, Alabama rally for Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange.
"Luther Strange is going to be a great Senator," Trump said. "He loves Alabama, he loves the state and he loves the country. He will absolutely win against the Democrat. Ray will have a hard time. If Luther wins, the Democrats will hardly fight. If Ray wins (Democrats) will pour in $30 million."
When host Rick Burgess clarified that Moore's first name was Roy and not Ray, Trump came back with why it's "not a good sign" when the president doesn't know your name.
"I don't know that much about Roy Moore," Trump said, using the correct first name. "Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat. Against Luther, they won't even fight."
Strange, Alabama's former Attorney General, faces former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Moore in tomorrow's Republican primary. The winner will meet Democrat Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 election. Democrats are pushing to flip the seat to blue after long-time Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions was named U.S. Attorney General by Trump and Strange was appointed to the seat by ex-Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.
During his Huntsville campaign stop, Trump promised to campaign for Moore should be victorious over Strange.
"I told Luther, and I have to say this, if his opponent wins, I'm going to be here campaigning like hell for him," Trump said.
The president is confident, however, Strange will hang on to the seat.
"I'm 5-0 in these races. I want to make it 6-0," Trump said Monday.

Are they going to make this a Christine O’Donnell race where all the media focuses in on Roy Moore?
Not true based on polls that show either Luther or Roy will beat the dem. It’s a BS excuse line to justify support of Luther.
They are going Thad Cochran on Moore if he wins.
