Good observation there.
I think Moore is going to pull it out, and Trump isn’t hurt by it. Makes him look like a team player though.
His mention this morning that he might have made a mistake, is tantamount to him saying I really wish I had/could back Moore right now.
Folks will read a lot into that. Trump gets them coming and going.
I agree with your post. I can’t see this hurting Trump at all. And I agree that Moore will win.
Why would Moore pull out if he’s ahead in the polls?
If Moore wins, Trump gets a solid conservative guy. If Strange wins, he will be loyal. Either way, Trump wins. And if Moore wins, he can go to Mitch and say look, I tried, but the people don’t want what you’re selling, now get behind my program before I decide to start endorsing other candidates like Moore in the future.
But it might make any future candidates who President Trump backs wonder just how reliable that support is. IMO, a bit too clever by half.
