Donald Trump won't be taking the more obvious route of campaigning with sexual predator Roy Moore in Alabama, but he is reportedly considering more stealthy ways to lift the embattled candidate to a seat in the U.S. Senate. Politico's Alex Isenstadt writes:
The White House is considering flooding the state with robo-calls, emails, and text messages in an offensive designed to activate the president’s supporters on Moore’s behalf, three people familiar with the discussions said. An administration-sanctioned super PAC, America First Action, is conducting polling in the state as it weighs a possible 11th-hour barrage. [...]
Trump aides caution that no decision has been made on whether to do more in Alabama. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to comment on discussions within the White House.
Nor is there clarity on what the president’s message would be or how far he would go to back the Republican candidate. Before departing for his Mar-a-Lago resort last week, the president ripped Jones as “soft on crime.” In a Sunday tweet, the president added, "The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on Crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY. Jones would be a disaster!"
Sorry, but Trump has already tacitly endorsed Roy Moore. He’s publicly embraced Moore’s denials (“He totally denies it!”) while calling this moment a "very special time" in history for women who are also "special,” but privately rants about Moore’s accusers.
Trump likely won't be seen on stage with Moore—he's too afraid of becoming a two-time loser in that Alabama Senate race after he originally backed sitting Sen. Luther Strange, who lost. But Trump would give his stubby pinky finger to make sure a fellow sexual assaulter doesn't get dragged to defeat by credible reports of his misconduct from the mainstream media.
