Then I guess Trump is a swamp person too because he supported Luther Strange. In hindsight Luther Strange would have been great compared to Doug Jones. Mo Brooks would have been even better.
Moore won the primary because of his name recognition and standing up for the 10 commandments monument. Until the accusations broke out Moore was a pillar of the community and wasn't as slick and phony as Strange. There was never any doubt in the public's mind that Moore would do what he said -- less so with Luther Strange.
This was a case study in how a religious zealot (Moore) can have the bottom fall out beneath him if doubts are raised about his morals. If a growing group of people start wondering if their candidate is a hypocrite then the candidate can get into trouble pretty quickly. Trump was right.
“Then I guess Trump is a swamp person too because he supported Luther Strange.”
I believe that was a political move to try and get closer to Bitch and the GOPe. I don’t see how Trump could have backed Moore initially without further damaging his relationship with the GOPe. Then again, he may well have had reservations about Moore either because he didn’t like the prospect of working with him or perhaps that he had info that led him to believe Moore could not win. But that’s simply conjecture. I don’t think Trump had anything to say after the first primary, but Moore had won it in a three-person race, but not by 50%. So then the “party’s anointed candidate,” Strange, was facing Moore in the runoff, and the guy who in hindsight should have been the candidate, Mo Brooks was out. Trump is still in a bind, and really has no choice but to support Strange. When Moore beat Strange, the GOPe went on to trashing Moore, and then the women accusers conveniently showed up right on cue. I don’t see how Trump could have done anything other than what he did, he was in a no-win place.
