The Democrats are helping Trump’s candidate.

Actually... that's kind of brilliant. Broadcast to AL Dems that Trump supports Strange. Run the video of Trump endorsing Strange. Some Dems will thus support his opponent, Moore. Further, the attempted involvement of Dems in the GOP outcome will get more Conservatives off of their butts and out to the ballot box, and voting for Moore.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

Democrats picked the Republican nominee in Mississippi and it looks like it will happen again in Alabama. #RememberMississippi

I would never assume to foist the ways of politics from my native NY State on people in a conservative state such as Alabama

BUT:

Here you register by party. Dem, Rep, other parties..... or independent.

When you go to vote in the primaries you have the ability to vote ONLY for the party you’re registered for. Period.

Makes sense to me

Never thought of that. Team Trump knows the Dems will endorse Strange. Trump endorses Strange in a hope the Dems stay home on the general election. Moore wins.

Like they helped the Barbor crime syndicate by voting for Thad Cochoran

Snubbing one democrat to help another, just like Alaska.
