President Trump said that a primary win by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore will open the seat for a Democratic win during a radio appearance Monday.
Trump, who traveled to Alabama Friday to stump for Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), told the syndicated "Roy & Bubba" radio show based out of Birmingham, Alabama that Democrats will pour millions of dollars into the election if their candidate goes up against Moore.
"Luther Strange is going to be a great Senator. He loves Alabama, he loves the states and he loves the country. He will absolutely win against the Democrat,” Trump said, according to Alabama.com.
“Ray will have a hard time. If Luther wins, the Democrats will hardly fight. If Ray wins (Democrats) will pour in $30 million."
Trump also initially called Moore by the wrong name during the interview, referring to him as “Ray Moore.”
When host Rick Burgess pointed out that Moore’s name is Roy, Trump responded that it’s “not a good sign" if the president doesn’t know his name.
"I don't know that much about Roy Moore. Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat,” Trump said. “Against Luther they won't even fight."

BTW—one reason to publicize such a situation would have been to force them to dial back on such an approach.
Sorry Don - can’t go with you on this one.
Trump has a point. Religious zealots are hard candidates in general elections.
So, folks in Alabama...will the Democrats win an Alabama seat if Roy Moore is the candidate?
Come on now, DJT, how can you not want a wonderful Christian man, Roy Moore, and instead, go out of your way to endorse DIRTY LUTHER? Alabamans know B.S. when they see it. Shaking my head.
>>This is the tactic the Cheap Labor Express uses to get people to vote for their stooges.
Sorry to see the President doing this.

McTurdle is teaching DJT Swamp Tricks. The more the GOPe smears, the harder will be the People’s Resistance.
Ditch Dirty Luther!
Onward toward Freedom!
The poll you cited says that Moore is up big against the Democrat opponent. Trump however says, "Roy Moore is going to have a very hard time getting elected against the Democrat”.
Thus the question that I asked, "Trump doesn't know this?"
I don’t know. No idea if he’s wven taking AL polling seriously.
This is where Trump will be wrong. Just watch!
You’re a lobbyist, right?
Sorry, but it is the voters of Alabama who know who they want on Trump’s team. Trump is a movement, not one man (isn’t that what Trump said himself?). Moore has a background of supporting Trump’s campaign platform issues. Strange? Swamp creature. McConnell’s boy. Lobbyist.
I’m glad we elected the Alpha Male who apparently can’t stand up to Turtle McTurtleson.
Trump has set up a “win-win,” but you are blind to its truth.
That’s okay, because the rest of us understand for you.
He’s an awful negotiator who once got worked over by Merv Freakin’ Griffin.
Moore is certainly who Freepers want. But Strange was going to vote 100 percent with Trump and was never a risk for shutting down the government over gay marriage or some other social issue that Trump doesn’t give a rip over.
Trump wants loyal followers. Strange was that. Moore....eh....we’ll see.
Now, “Ray” Moore (President Trump’s name for him) is learning what he gets for going against President Trump. President Trump said “Ray” Moore” would not be the Democrats, and he is following through on that.
Give it a rest, nick, your NeverTrump is showing.
I think your NeverTrump is showing. Moore is the anti-Trump and Strange is the pro-Trump.
