Trump saw it coming. Look at his comments before the sh*t hit the fan with Moore. He knew what the opposition had planned if Roy Moore got the nomination. That’s why he backed Luther Strange, a guy who voted 98% of the time. Bannon and Gorka ‘knew better’, and wanted to build up their cred with the base, so the went against POTUS on this one. They were wrong, and he was right.
How could he possibly know that Stephanie McCrummen was going to round up a bunch of crazy bitches to make lying accusations against Roy Moore? How could anyone have known that?

Had Luther Strange been the nominee, we would all be complaining that everyone should have known he had a corruption problem, and *THAT* is why we lost the seat to Doug Jones.
Well the people of Alabama did know about this, and that's why they picked Roy Moore in the primary.

Uh, no, he wasn't. Luther Strange would have provoked the same sort of media assault against him, but this time the media would have been accusing him of corruption, and the same sort of coward Republican backstabbers that stabbed Moore in the back, would have cowardly stabbed Luther Strange in the back too.
