Yes Donald, you did make a mistake supporting McConnell BFF Luther Strange. He is going down by double digits tomorrow in the Alabama GOP runoff and Mike Pence cancelled his campaign rally with Strange today. I don’t know why you supported Strange over Roy Moore, maybe it’s because of Javanka, Cohn or McMaster. But get ready to support Roy Moore because he’s is going to trounce your candidate tomorrow. It’s too bad Donald Trump doesn’t realize that Luther Strange isn’t loyal to him, he’s loyal to Mitch McConnell and the corporate elites who fund the GOP. At least Trump can admit he made a mistake backing Luther Strange. That’s more than I can say for any other politician.

But while Trump praised Strange as a “real fighter and a real good guy” and a “tough cookie” who “doesn’t deal and kowtow to anyone,” Trump also admitted he may have made a mistake getting involved in the race.
“We have to be loyal in life,” Trump said. “There is something called loyalty, and I might have made a mistake and I’ll be honest, I might have made a mistake.”
He noted Strange’s significant lead in the polls, and that the media would cast it as an “embarrassment” for Trump if he were unable to pull his candidate over the line.
In another blow for Strange, Trump mulled the possibility of a Moore victory and said he would campaign for Moore, as well, if he were to win the primary.
“By the way, both good men and you know what, I told Luther … if his opponent wins, I’m going to be here campaigning like hell for him,” he said to applause from the crowd, although he later argued that while he believed Strange could win the general election, Moore could not.
