Trump Will Hold Rally for Strange

September 17, 2017 at 7:58 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

President Trump announced on Twitter that he will hold a rally in Alabama to boost Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) against his anti-establishment challenger Roy Moore.

Jonathan Swan: “If Moore wins, Trump will look like a fool. It’d suggest to members of Congress — whom Trump must occasionally intimidate in legislative fights — that he’s a weakened force in Alabama, a state he carried by nearly 30 points in the 2016 election.”

“If Strange, wins, Trump can do a victory lap. But by supporting him he’s boosting the establishment candidate, backed by Mitch McConnell (with whom Trump is currently at war.) Trump loses points with the most hardcore elements of the Republican base by supporting Strange, and he’s now setting up a direct clash with Breitbart, which has been campaigning hard for Moore.”

The RealClearPolitics average shows Strange trailing Moore by 11 points.

1. Well it's not as if he'd hold one for normality.

He's been having strange rallies for a while.

2. Strange vs. Moore

Vote for a smelly pile of shit or a steaming pile of shit.

Or also known as republican politics.

3. If the political rally is the only point of the travel, he has to pay for Air Force One

Usually presidents combine a fund-raising event with some bullshit official purpose, like giving an award to a local Spelling Bee winner. Then the cost of the trip is limited to the price of flying coach for any party operatives. Sweet deal.

4. By "strange"...

I thought you were talking about a rally for women he has yet to meet.

It was cleared up for me in the body of your op.
