Breitbart News claims in a new report that the White House is "worried" that a small crowd might turn out for an Alabama campaign event featuring President Trump on behalf of his preferred Senate candidate, Luther Strange.
"President Donald Trump will appear in Huntsville, AL to promote the candidacy of Luther Strange, who is competing in a runoff election for the Republican Partys nomination for the Alabama U.S. Senate special election," reads the Breitbart piece.
"White House aides told Breitbart News they were worried about turning out a large crowd size for Trump, given they know the president has already given his endorsement and that he and the Vice President Mike Pence are campaigning for the establishment candidate against the presumed anti-establishment candidate former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore," it continues before citing an anonymous White House official. It doesnt look good to have them [Trump and Pence] stumping for the guy who is going to lose, the official told Breitbart.
We have concerns that there may not be a high amount of turnout at the rallies for Strange and we are concerned that some of those that may show up may be there to shout pro-Roy Moore slogansor that they just want to see the president and vice president but still plan to vote for Roy Moore, Breitbart says another unidentified aide told it.

(82,849 posts)Trump will simply tweet that the crowd was the LARGEST EVER, and that will be the end of any discussion. Sure, a lot of people attended the rally dressed like empty chairs, but believe me, it was the biggest political rally in Alabama's history.
Breitbart can't even fake its bogus outrage claims anymore.
