White House legislative director Marc Short was about the race by reporters at breakfast Tuesday. He said President Donald Trump "has endorsed Luther Strange and he continues to stand by that endorsement."
Actually, that's a pretty weak endorsement if you ask me. And the photo in the article is a file photo, taken who knows when.
Despite all this, and in spite of the Presidents rather tepid endorsement, Luther is tainted as a back room deal maker due to the Bentley thing, even while the President continues to be well regarded.
A lot of Alabamians see it as Trump trying to curry McConnell favor, but it's not working. We don't blame the President, he's desperate to get legislation passed, but Mitch is a b!tch and we, the voters, do not want to curry him any further. Just look at the current polls if you need proof.
My prediction, Moore wins in a landslide. Better stand back a little!
I do. Trump is supporting the less conservative candidate. Trump doesn't get a pass from me. Neither does McConnell.
As I have said though I think Moore will still win this thing despite Trump's endorsement. However Luther is bragging about the Trump endorsement in his ads. I think the guy in Luther's ad says "Trump supports Big Luther. That is good enough for me" ... or something like that. It is not the end of the world if either of these men get elected in comparison to some of the other Senators. Luther can't be THAT bad if Donald Trump is supporting him, right? :-) Hopefully Moore wins.
