In a serious rebuke for President Trump (and perhaps moreso for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell), ousted judge and alt-right favorite Roy Moore has won the Alabama Republican Primary by a landslide.
The Steve Bannon-backed candidate, who defied court orders to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom and refused to recognize gay marriage after the Supreme Court’s June 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, is leading by 9.6 points with 92% of the votes counted...
Interestingly, former Trump deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka, who backed Moore, said despite Trump backing the establishment favorite, a Moore victory strengthens Trump... “But guess what happens – when Judge Moore wins on Tuesday, it will strengthen the president because now he’ll be able to go to the establishment GOP – to the swamp dwellers and say, ‘Hey guys, we are back on my agenda. This wasn’t worth it.’

Gee, since when is listening to advise from a thirty-something liberal kid 4D chess when your political base is being abandoned?
Let's repeat it so you get the point - a really SERIOUS rebuke for Trump. Really! Seriously!
This is a win-win for Trump. An outcome he fully anticipated and with which he is entirely satisfied.
Link does not work.
If you were Trump, and you wanted Moore to win, you would publicly announce you were supporting Strange.
Trump knew Strange was going down to defeat. But he wanted to be able to tell McConnell that his hands were clean, and that the blame was entirely on the GOPe. If they had stayed out of the race entirely, I think Strange would have had a better chance. They still don’t get it - 2016 was less about Trump and more about voters’ disgust with the DC swamp. Trump was the catalyst and a lesser man wouldn’t have won, but it was his policies that got him elected.
Especially if he doesn’t even know what sex he is, already. (What sex means, with what two chromosomes he was born. I probably don’t need to explain this to FRiends, but you never know who’s reading this, especially young people, and don’t know the scientific determining factors of what differentiates the two sexes).
From ‘Breitbart’ lead article “Limbaugh read a quote from the article, “In what is becoming a disturbing pattern, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, was apparently one of those who advised the president to back Strange, to once again sail into big, jagged rocks—a humiliation for Trump that anyone with any real-world political sense should have seen coming from a mile away. Appointed under shady circumstances, Strange is a walking, talking poster child for everything Trump ran against—a good ole’ boy, Republican establishment backslapper, strongly backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has done nothing but post failure after failure since Trump’s inauguration.””
He listened to his advisor, Jared Kushner....the same Jared Kushner who checked the box on his voter registration that read “Female.”
What a stupid title for an article—there was no “stumped” Trump anywhere in it!
A rare article from ZeroHedge the mods allowed to post.
personally; I believe that Trump’s support of Strange was a fake from the beginning, and was done for no other reason than to pacify McConnell. Just my .02
Trump Stumped?
BS!
***
POTUS.45 No Run-O-The Mill Pol Dummy!
Prolly Playing the establishment knowing his guy would prevail anyway.
By now, he’s realized the man in THIS aren, the full clique that it is, and he at least has to go w/the appearance of “coming around” to play ball w/the soul-less b@$turds of the swamp(appearances) he is (hopefully) in bed with...(not literally/politically, etc.)
Go TRUMP.45!!!!!!!!!!!!!
********************
Kuschner also marked his voter registration DEMOCRAT....
Why would anyone allow the media to control what they think, when it’s obvious the media has no reservations anymore about lying?
Maybe Kushner DID support Strange. That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I think it’s far more likely that Trump was attempting to curry favor with Mitch in order to get him to horsewhip those useless Senators into shape and finally pass SOME kind of health care bill. It didn’t work out that way, but it would have been classless of Trump, at that point, to withdraw his support.
I think Rush had it right - this was a clear win for Trumpism, and therefore a win, ultimately, for Trump himself.
Trump made a mistake..look everyone Trump made a mistake..see, he isn’t perfect...
When Trump said “maybe it was a mistake” to endorse Strange at the rally for Strange, and then promised to campaign for whoever won, it’s clear he wasn’t real invested in the outcome. I think it was just a matter of being loyal to the guy who came out for Trump early on and managed his AL campaign.
Oh noeeeeessss! This is series. Concern trolls are concerned.
ZeroHedge. 100% wrong 100% of the time.
“Trump made a mistake..look everyone Trump made a mistake..see, he isn’t perfect...”
And THE SOURCE OF THE ‘MISTAKE’ must thrown out of the ‘senior’ advisors and his political advise ignored in the future.....
“Tyler” is off his meds...
