Other than Moore being an ultra-conservative, which I want for sure, how will this benefit Trump? I love the way Trump plays everyone, I keep thinking that he’s backing the incumbent but really is for the other guy. He definitely keeps them all guessing and I love it.
“Other than Moore being an ultra-conservative, which I want for sure, how will this benefit Trump?”
I would suggest not using Leftist / Establishment labels. Why call Judge Moore an “ultra” conservative when we never see Leftists slapped with an extremist label like that?
Judge Moore is a West Point graduate, Army veteran and of course an attorney. How crazy does that make him sound?
Anyway, putting an anti-McConnell Republican in the Senate helps Trump by putting more pressure on the Turtle to perform. Plus it would inspire conservatives by signaling that they can be elected despite opposition from the out-of-state big money RINO crowd.
For Trump, a Moore win is a twofer. He has put an obligation on McConnell and he gets the Conservative candidate.
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'.
