A primary win by "Ray" Moore would open Alabama's U.S. Senate seat to Democrats, President Donald Trump told radio-hosts "Rick and Bubba" this morning.
Trump called the popular syndicated radio show on Monday, just days after appearing at a Huntsville, Alabama rally for Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange.
"Luther Strange is going to be a great Senator," Trump said. "He loves Alabama, he loves the state and he loves the country. He will absolutely win against the Democrat. Ray will have a hard time. If Luther wins, the Democrats will hardly fight. If Ray wins (Democrats) will pour in $30 million."
When host Rick Burgess clarified that Moore's first name was Roy and not Ray, Trump came back with why it's "not a good sign" when the president doesn't know your name.
"I don't know that much about Roy Moore," Trump said, using the correct first name. "Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat. Against Luther, they won't even fight."
Strange, Alabama's former Attorney General, faces former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Moore in tomorrow's Republican primary. The winner will meet Democrat Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 election. Democrats are pushing to flip the seat to blue after long-time Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions was named U.S. Attorney General by Trump and Strange was appointed to the seat by ex-Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.
During his Huntsville campaign stop, Trump promised to campaign for Moore should be victorious over Strange.
"I told Luther, and I have to say this, if his opponent wins, I'm going to be here campaigning like hell for him," Trump said.
The president is confident, however, Strange will hang on to the seat.
"I'm 5-0 in these races. I want to make it 6-0," Trump said Monday.

LOL! SMH.
Go Ray!
Now you can call me “ray”...
Didn’t hear R&B this AM.
Local Radio station was off air.....................
“against strange they wont even fight”... thats kind of telling I believe...
Sorry President Trump but the DemoRat won’t win in Bama. Therefore go Judge ‘Ray’.
That tells me that Luther is a member in good standing with the Uniparty, the Republican-Democrat Axis we call the Swamp and the Deep State.
It's all the more reason I am voting for Ray, er, Roy Moore tomorrow morning.
Make Alabama Great Again!
Go RAY!
What he means is, if you want to see more of me, vote for Roy!
It’s like he was handed a script by the Cheap Labor Express.
Same tactic they use.
Definitely telling... Luther is Uniparty. A Swamp creature.
“Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat. Against Luther, they won’t even fight.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a reason for that.................
???????????????????
4D Chess
Funny thing is the GOP-e said the same thing about Trump and why we had to back Jeb
I don’t understand this one at all...
Strange has already stabbed him in the back.
Yep. ‘The Dims will try their hardest to stop Ray’ seems like a great reason to support him.
Good grief. This shows how little Trump knows about what is going on in this race.
Ray Moore might lose to a Democrat, but Roy won’t.
I’m all in for Ray.
He doesn’t know. He is being told by Shelby that Moore can’t win and if Luther is not the nominee we will have a democrat senate
