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?
That’s why he backed Luther Strange, a guy who voted 98% of the time.
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.
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.
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.
You don’t think POTUS gets wind of these things before the general public hears about them. Don’t be naïve. And Trump’s statements before hand made general references to his concern that Moore might have a hard time getting elected.
Whatever attack the left would have tried to use on Luther Strange would have paled in comparison to what they trotted out with Moore. Moore had a history of gaffs and less than flattering sound bites, the kind of thing the left just eat up.
