President Trump says he doesn't know much about Roy Moore, and seemed to unwittingly emphasize the point by twice referring to the Republican front-runner for Senate in Alabama as "Ray" during a radio interview on the "Rick and Bubba Show" ahead of Tuesday's primary, per Politico. Moore is up against incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, who Trump has publicly endorsed.
"Luther Strange is going to be a great senator. He loves Alabama, he loves the states and he loves the country," Trump said Monday, according to AL.com. "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."
- An 0ptimus poll given exclusively to Axios showed Moore leading Strange by 11%, despite 86% of voters knowing Trump endorsed
- Whoever wins the primary will be up against Democrat Doug Jones in a Dec. 12 election to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the Senate.
- At a rally for Luther Strange in Huntsville Friday, Trump said despite thinking Moore "has a very good chance of not winning" he will "campaign like hell for him" if he beats Strange.
- But Trump is still confident Strange will prevail: "I'm 5-0 in these races," he said. "I want to make it 6-0."

This is going to be one of Trump's BIGGER missed predictions.
I have several friends living in Alabama who say Moore WILL BE elected.

The President knows this. He is simply being loyal to Luther Strange until the very end. Senator Strange supported the President on the Obamacare repeal issue, and the President is being loyal accordingly.
Once Roy Moore is elected to the Senate from Alabama, he will become a great ally to President Trump in implementing his #MAGA agenda and in Draining the Swamp...

If I knew absolutely nothing about Roy Moore, I would vote for him solely based on McConnell throwing handfuls of cash at Strange.

“If I knew absolutely nothing about Roy Moore, I would vote for him solely based on McConnell throwing handfuls of cash at Strange.”
From now on it will be very easy to spot just who the Rothschild/Rockefeller/Davos conspiracy of globalist elites are backing with their BIG MONEY......let’s take every RINO out in the primaries, one by one!
BIG INTERNATIONAL BANKING MONEY didn’t help Hellary much either.....

Yes. His base was getting a little wobbly after his remarks on DACA and Strange so he tossed out some cheap red meat with the NFL protests. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

He is also demonstrating his loyalty.
He will endorse Roy Moore after he wins the primary.
“Just found out his name is Roy, I hardly new knew the guy, what a good man”.

Not so fast. This is the primary, if he wins there’s still the general election.

It’s been 2 decades since their last Democrat senator. Their primary results for the Republicans will most likely be who wins the general. Then again, that may depend on how many votes are bused in and resurrected from the graveyards.
