Nailed It !

As he headed to Huntsville, Ala., in a last-ditch effort to lift the floundering campaign of Sen. Luther Strange, President Trump was fuming — feeling dragged along by GOP senators who had pleaded with him to go and increasingly unenthusiastic about Strange, whom he described to aides as loyal but “low energy.”
His agitation only worsened on the flight back last Friday. Trump bemoaned the headlines he expected to see once Strange was defeated — that he had stumbled and lost his grip on “my people,” as he calls his core voters. He also lamented the rally crowd’s tepid response to the 6-foot-9 incumbent he liked to call “Big Luther.”
“Trump was never fully behind Strange to begin with,” former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said Wednesday after Strange was trounced in Tuesday’s GOP primary in Alabama. “But the party coaxed and cajoled him to get on the Strange train, and he did.”

Trump needs to fine The Turtle $30 mil.
you forgot the barf alert! LOL
Not one for tin foil theories but how about Trump KNEW his presence wouldn’t be enough (doesn’t mean he’s not loved there, they didn’t want his guy) AND he gets to say to Bitch, er, Mitch, “I backed your guy”
Bwahahahahahaha!
Senate seat was formerly Sessions. Strange was appointed to take his place until December. President has some big goals he wanted to achieve no use ticking off the guy with a vote.
It’s RINO season, Wicker, Hatch, Heller, Flake and Ryan need to be the top quarry.
He’s down. He’s out! (again) lol.
When you’re quoting Michael Steele, you’re doing it wrong.
Trump definitely had his fingers crossed every time he “endorsed” this loser.
Alabama voters had no trouble understanding this.
It’s almost to the point where it’s such parody, that I cant even work up enough to even roll my eyes.
Ah, Costa again. I’ll have whatever he’s drinking. Trump managed to endorse the loser and still emerge the winner. And the ComPost writers are, as usual, missing what is going on.
Nailed It !
The mainstream media wants to ignore that.
Luther Strange had a very young and attractive campaign consultant who ended up getting a lot of money from him for consulting after the campaign had concluded. Not saying they had an affair. I have no idea. But as AG, Strange indicted a state legislature for paying someone for campaign work on a non-current campaign, which is what Strange did for his dear and close friend Jennifer.
Jennifer proceeds to divorce her husband. She filed notice with the court that she was moving to Bham from Tuscaloosa with her shared custody son. She gave the address of the house she was moving to in court documents in 2011. (Luther’s neighborhood when he lived in Bham.)
The house, in the upmarket exclusive conclave of Mountain Brook, was valued at around $450,000. But it wasn’t foreclosed on until 2012 and her “high bid” of $30,000 was accepted. Curious that she listed THIS ADDRESS in court papers when it wasn't even on the market!
A blogger wrote about that. A judge ordered that blogger jailed for writing about an alleged affair between then Gov. Bob Riler's son and a lobbyist, and then the blogger was sued for the Big Luther post . The blogger refused to be silenced. The judge put him in jail. He lost his home to foreclosure.
Fast forward: Alabama governor Robert Bentley is embroiled in an affair with a much younger married woman from his church. He puts the mistress and her husband on the state payroll.
The mistress basically begins to run the state. Lots of illegal things happen, not the least of which is the governor being caught on tape in a serious sexual conversation with the young lady.
He and she are getting dark money and open a safe deposit box together. Everyone knows that to get something on the Bentley’s desk it goes through Rebecca. So money flowed.
The same blogger who broke the alleged Luther/Jennifer affair broke the news of what the elderly Governor of Alabama was doing with his hook-up hottie Rebecca Mason. The Alabama media refused to touch it and gave the luv guv a free pass to continue raping the state.
Then the gov’s long suffering wife left her phone on record while she went on a beach walk and the lecherous old luv guv called his young mistress and proceeded to tell her what he wanted to do.
Someone unknown took the file to a gas station (on a jump drive) and called YellowHammer news, conservative news outlet in Alabama. (Former owner Cliff Sims now works for Trump.) Yellowhammer broke the story and then the chips all started falling.
But it took months for governor to get investigated. I mean, this just went on and on. Then Jeff Sessions was tapped for AG by Trump and Gov. Bentley took this opportunity to make a deal with Big Luther Strange.
Gov. appointed Luther to the senate and Luther called off the investigation into the gov and his mistress.
So it took even more months for things to be resolved. A new AG came in and got the gov. out, but a lot of people who did a lot of bad things walked because Luther called off the dogs.
The Gov. had members of his staff who knew about the affair targeted. He fired the head of the Alabama Law Enforcement, ALEA, Spencer Collier and accused him of stealing just to cover up his own crimes with his mistress and the dark money.
The gov attacked and sicked law enforcement on people who wrote about the affair. (This was blogger Roger Schuler and attorney David Watkins who broke the story first when no one else would.) Watkins owns a bank and Bentley had false investigations started on his bank.
There is soooo much more evil that went on and a lot of innocent people got hurt. And it went on far longer than it had to, all because Big Luther stopped the investigation so he could be appointed senator.

Exactly.
Trump was in stealth mode.
Is it the beginning of the end for Trump??
LMAO!
Never change, leftist media.
LOL. This is laughable. Truly. The comPost is cracking me up.
Fake news aisle 11.
Mitch got nicked in this contest, not Trump.
Rush commented today that the left would respond this way, that Trump was losing his base. I think they totally understand that his base is still with him as he maneuvers past the GOPe and are just trying to sell this view to their base.
I was wondering when you’d get here. ;)
