I think people commenting do not know Luther Strange’s history. I have doubts if POTUS does either. He has other priorities and judges on the fact that when he asked Luther to support a bill he did.
Luther Strange has made millions of $ as a lobbyist in a 20 year career.

Senator Luther Strange of Alabama has promised to “Kill Unfair Trade Deals” but that’s not likely considering he played a major role in outsourcing of American jobs overseas for the company Russell Brands, LLC, maker of athletic apparel, who moved its “final assembly of garments abroad, to Mexico, Honduras and elsewhere in the Caribbean basin.”
CAFTA(a NAFTA like deal for Central America), was promoted by Luther Strange, for Russell Brands who paid him $660,000. One year after passage 7000 jobs lost in Alabama, 5 factories built in Central America.
Luther Strange is deeply died with pay to play and corruption. Look up the Gov Bennet scandal where as AG he collected evidence of wrong doing by the Governor of Alabama and moved to prosecute only to be appointed to fill Sessions seat by that Governor. The next AG did indict the Governor and when the Lieutenant Governor became Governor her first move was to call for this special election which was optional under Alabama State law so that Strange wouldn’t profit from his self serving disregard for justice & his ethical responsibilities. This is not the only incidence of ethical misconduct and payoff in Luther’s past.
Luther Strange pretends to be anti immigrant but owns 16% of a firm that sells EB-5 visas to foreign nationals.
Oh my, so many typos I’ll just say mea culpa. I took a paragraph and there must have been embedded characters like the tags, then my own typos like died rather than dyed, must have been thinking of John McCain’s interview.
Well said. Thank you!
