Bad outcome for Trump. Just close enough to give the GOPe a chance in the runoff.

Trump wants to show two things to the GOPe:
That he can cost them a race, and that he can win them a race.

"Is Trump trying to curry favor with McConnell?"

Yes, and he will get nothing in return from McConnell.

FDR tried to influence the primaries by endorsing challengers aligned with him in order to knock off certain incumbents who were giving him a hard time.
That is what President Trump should do.

The party had a fit
So will the GOP-E, but since President Trump is not a Party member, it's Tough Noogies.

You’re probably right but I have a feeling they worked out a deal of some kind. Maybe something as simple as trying to repeal the ACA one more time.

Judge Roy Moore, for Democrats, the possibility of a race against Moore, who has twice been suspended from the state Supreme Court for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument or to recognize same-sex marriages, may attract more and Establishment Luther Strange Strange also has the endorsements of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Senate Leadership Fund. Head to AL Primary run off.

Question is do you choose a moral pro Constitution man Judge Moore, or a McConnell establishment tool Strange? Giving McConnell another vote against Trump and repeal of DUMBOCARE?
