President Trump said that a primary win by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore will open the seat for a Democratic win during a radio appearance Monday.
Trump, who traveled to Alabama Friday to stump for Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), told the syndicated "Roy & Bubba" radio show based out of Birmingham, Alabama that Democrats will pour millions of dollars into the election if their candidate goes up against Moore.
"Luther Strange is going to be a great Senator. He loves Alabama, he loves the states and he loves the country. He will absolutely win against the Democrat,” Trump said, according to Alabama.com.
“Ray will have a hard time. If Luther wins, the Democrats will hardly fight. If Ray wins (Democrats) will pour in $30 million."
Trump also initially called Moore by the wrong name during the interview, referring to him as “Ray Moore.”
When host Rick Burgess pointed out that Moore’s name is Roy, Trump responded that it’s “not a good sign" if the president doesn’t know his name.
"I don't know that much about Roy Moore. Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat,” Trump said. “Against Luther they won't even fight."

I wish he would stay out of this one...
I have concerns about Moore going full Todd Atkins.....
I am hoping he is just playing up to show McTurtle that he made the effort
So Luther is really a uniparty Democrat. Not your brightest reasoning Mr. President.
Absolutely pathetic argument, if that’s all you can say about YOUR candidate-—that the other guy can’t win.
Vote for Moore! Trump has been forced by Turtle to do this!
Let the Democrats waste their money! Roy will win the general election.
President Trump is wrong on this one! JMO!
Trump using dirty GOPe tactics to scare Trumpers from voting Moore. Quite disturbing actually. Remember all those stupid polls that showed Trump killing the GOP competition yet allegedly would get trounced by Hillary. Meanwhile the same polls showed Jeb getting trounced in the GOP primary and beating Hillary. Does anybody fall for this crap anymore?
The EXEMPT still rule - with the SWAMP.
and the President does not even care, as the SWAMP
tries to take him down, and as they keep the
People in their place (as slaves of Congress).
I would rather have an honorable man like Moore lose after a good fight than have a swamp creature win.
If the Repub’s have one less Senate seat please explain to me how this would matter.
Only if the GOPe swamp goes full scorched earth against Moore in the general. If Moore wins the primary all of the GOP better support him or the party may be dead by 2020.
No they won’t, this is Alabama we are talking about.
This is the tactic the Cheap Labor Express uses to get people to vote for their stooges.
Sorry to see the President doing this.
I would go and invite the Democrats to spend the talked about 30-million. Moore holds power with the Baptist network and it’ll be hard to get people to come out in a non-election year, and vote.
So? Corruptocrat strange vs a ten commandments judge who will put his career on the line for what America stands for. Go judge Moore.
Exactly!
Logical fallacies; strawman, and too few alternatives.
Trump said Luther was loyal. There’s that.
How is Trump forced to do this? What has McConnell done for Trump? Has he stripped McCain and Collins from all committees? Seriously what has he done. That argument is old and tired. Meanwhile, I’ve seen plenty of evidence of McConnell sabotaging Trump.
Would have Cruz won against Hillary? I doubt it.
It’s a legit point.
