Poll shows Trump-endorsed Senate candidate losing badly

This shows that the movement that elected Trump is not about him but about the country.

That's my take as well. A Moore victory tonight will also send the message that even if the Deep State is somehow able to take Donald Trump out, the voters out there are going to continue to elect non-establishment candidates. This should put Paul Ryan on notice as he will have a strong primary contender next year.

I think Trump's "endorsement" of Strange is more strategic than heart-felt.

Whew...what a relief. That’s great because Moore definitely seems like a true MAGA candidate.

Of course the media will spin his win as a loss for Trump. Sounds more like a loss for the GOPe traitors.

This is good for Trump because it shows GOPe that their brand is so despised even Trump can't save them. And, this despite his absolute loyalty to the "bargain." He has kept up his side and they have delivered nothing except betrayals.

Paybacks will be a ...

Yes, I guarantee the subtext of tonight/tomorrow will be “Trump losing his appeal” when Moore trounces Strange.... because that’s the spin they want to have...

But reality is it is no reflection on Trump whatsoever, its a reflection on the GOPe and McConnell and how angry the American people are... Its not a rejection of Trump in any way.. but that will be the talking point I guarantee it.

[HamiltonJay]

the GOPe still doesn’t get it... they think they won last November, they think Trump is the outlier... the reality is TRUMP won, not you...

Moore’s win will further prove this point, but they will probably deny it.

A lot of GOPe folks are going to get Primaried.... The people have had enough of McConnell and the rest of the uniparty.

for 8 years you promised to do things, then when you have all you should need to do it, you do nothing.... You will pay a heavy price... Trump is fine, the GOPe/Uniparty.... not so much.

. . . how will this benefit Trump?

First, it gives the deranged Democrats a 'win' in that Trump 'lost'. Maybe it will calm them down a bit. Also, since Trump was 'against' Moore, then the Democrats won't be so prone to attack Roy Moore and tar him as an 'ultra-conservative'.

We need Moore leadership in the Senate, not a Strange leadership!! (Get it?)

Thread winner.
