Did be f@!king really?

Now that Trump has rallied in Huntsville AL for Strange, how will this affect the results? Is Moore done as a result of this?

[Gustaf]

Trump did say he might have made a mistake in endorsing Strange, at the rally, so...

[GeorgiaModerate]

He already is the tallest Senator.  Did Trump forget that Strange is already in the Senate?

(Trivia: Tom McMillen, who served in the House, was even taller, and is one of 3 former pro basketball players to serve in Congress.  Can you name the other two without looking it up?)

Bill Bradley was one.

I can't find a picture of James Comey and Luther Strange together.

Trump is such an embarrassment to mankind. The very definition of cringe.

No, I despise both candidates. I feel bad for America having a clown for President.

Bill Bradley was one.

Bradley is of course correct.  The other one was Morris (Mo) Udall, the long-time Arizona Representative and contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1976.  He was a star player for the University of Arizona and played a year of pro ball in the 1940's (even though he had only one eye).

Wasting money on Alabama is criminal...if it were a gubernatorial race fine, but no Dem is getting sent to Congress from this state.

Republican strategists said the same thing about Massachusetts in 2010.

I'm happy Alabama doesn't have an open primary.

It's our best shot at taking back the Senate this cycle.  Not making a serious play here if Moore gets nominated would be political malpractice.  On a different note, Ron Sparks must be kicking himself right now.

Scott Brown was one of the most talented politicians of his generation.

Doug Jones is nowhere near as charismatic as Brown.

President Trump everybody. He goes to Alabama to campaign for Strange, says he might regret endorsing him, says he'll campaign like hell for the other guy, says he likes Luther because he always votes the way he wants him to, says he didn't want to eat dinner with Strange's wife, attacks NFL players who kneel during the national anthem, and talks about how big his victory was.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

if they want to spend some money sure... just don't nationalize the race and don't hype it. it's almost assuredly going to moore. alabama is not nearly as elastic as mass.

[The Other Castro]

White House officials and McConnell allies are "deeply worried" about Moore winning. They have private polling showing a tightened race, but with Moore still consistently leading.
