With the results now clear in Alabama’s hotly-contested U.S. Senate Republican primary race, the unambiguous message coming from the GOP voters responsible for Roy Moore’s underdog victory is clear-cut — a crucial reminder to everyone that Trumpism is not about any one person. More importantly, what this humiliating loss tells President Trump is that Trumpism is not even about him. The indisputable lesson here for the president is that even he, the man who started the movement, is not bigger than the promises, ideas, agenda, and platform he ran on.
Yes, Trump ran on specifics such as a border wall, the repealing of Obamacare, and tax cuts. Trump’s existential promise, though, the overall rationale for his insurgent campaign, was all about “draining the swamp,” or taking the fight to the DC establishment — not just within the corrupt national media and the cancerous Democrat Party, but also within the Republican Party, which, as we have seen over the last eight months, is no better than the others.
By fully backing Luther Strange, the poster boy for everything his very own movement despises, Trump defiantly violated his existential promise to us, the promise to drain the hideous DC swamp.
In a different world, in a world where, for the last eight months, while in complete charge of the federal government, the Republican Party actually delivered on its promises; in a fantasyland where the GOP did not expose itself as a gang of feckless cowards unwilling to keep even the Obamacare repeal promise that defined the party’s existence for seven years, maybe Trump could have gotten away with supporting a Luther Strange.
But that is not the world we live

That title nails it. Trump should take note of that himself too.
The clues are out there Mr. President.
We’re on your side. Make sure you are.
Follow through.
You know, last fall you weren’t supposed to win. Why couldn’t you think of that example when it came to Moore?
You know better than some of this. Don’t let those bastard advisors snooker you.
Mitch...
Oh wait...
Luther got repealed and replaced.
Bump!
This is a good sign that nationalism and draining the swamp is bigger than one man (Trump).
Voters get it. They don’t want more do-nothing RINOs to give lip service to voters and who quickly join the swamp.
We need to clear the biggest RINOs out in primaries state by state.
We the people have the votes, the numbers, and the power.
We don’t need 30 million bucks or the media or Washington elites.
Throw the bums out!
Is that the Master of Disguise, or the Master of de Lies?
And that is why Trump backed strange. I said this last night, it was to show the gopE the movement is not about Trump. It’s about America.
Amen!

Lefties are totally freaking out on twitter. Calling Judge Moore every slur and smear in the book.
Excellent point. We want Trump to succeed and if he can’t break the GOPe roadblock we expect him to take names and fight the swamp critters. Cozying up to McConnell won’t accomplish anything.
Steven Bannon got this one right. I don’t believe Trump had a clue about the real Luther Strange. He was knee-deep in the GOPe network. Mitch had millions of senate PAC money to send on a yes-man. Strange was also knee-deep in corruption of former governor Robert Bentley.
I didn’t vote for Moore or Strange because I wasn’t excited about either. But I will be voting for Moore vs. the democrat. No way I would vote for a pro-abortion, pro-family, pro-muzzie, pro-illegals, anti-police, anti-American, pro-obama, pelosi, schumer democrat (I consider all of them to be in that category).
Then he’s naive if he thinks that.
closer to home. much closer to home.
The ignorant Democrat media painted Trump’s success as Trump using the Deplorables to win. It appears that it was the Deplorables using Trump to win, and he is not essential to their movement.
This should cause consternation in the enemy ranks, since they have falsely thought if they get rid of Trump their problems will be over. However,it appears now that if they get rid of Trump, their troubles will only metastasize.
