In short tweet, Trump congratulates Moore on runoff win, gets general election date wrong

Source: TheWeek.com

President Trump didn't back Roy Moore in the Alabama Republican Senate primary, but was quick to congratulate him on Tuesday night after he defeated Trump's pick, incumbent Sen. Luther Strange.




Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama. Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race. Roy, WIN in Nov!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2017


"Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama," Trump tweeted. "Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race. Roy, WIN in Nov.!" That will be impossible for Moore to do, seeing as how the general election is set for Dec. 12.

If you are the President of South Korea you have to be wondering if he launches an attack if he will hit the North or the South.

This is a daily correction, can you imagine what would have happened if President Obama made such slips?

We have a slim chance of winning with crazy Roy running

If we lose he will be making idiotic statements like "US has Shia law" or "Homosexuality should be out lawed" and every Republican will be pestered to death to either agree or disagree.

When Todd Atkin talked about "legitimate rape" every Republican was pinned and we picked up some marginal seats.

Senator Corker announced his retirement today and this race had a significant impact on it, he didn't want to go through a primary like this.

Professional Democratic operatives are drinking champagne tonight because Moore's idiocy will blow up many Republican campaigns.
