Right? Especially since he gave such an enthusiatic speech last week. With lines such asIvytalk wrote:And Moore is even too much of an assclown for Trump!
Hard to believe, ain't it? Shows you how short Drumpf's "coat tails" are.
"I have a lot of friends. And some of them say, 'Do you mind if I go to the other candidate?' Really, you can."
This begins a looooong story Trump tells about Strange and his loyalty. But the President begins the story by noting that lots of his friend are for Roy Moore -- and he's totally fine with that!
"I don't know him. I met him once."
Trump's lack of a relationship with Strange is an odd thing to highlight given that Trump is in Alabama telling people to vote for the incumbent senator
"The last thing I want to do is be involved in a primary, OK? I could be sitting home right now getting to watch some of the games tomorrow."
Kind of a weird thing to say, no?
"And I might have made a mistake. And I'll be honest, I might have made a mistake."
This is totally incredible. While at a last-minute campaign rally for Strange, Trump admits he might have made a mistake in endorsing Strange. Yes, really.
"And I told Luther, I have to say this, if his opponent wins, I'm going to be here campaigning like hell for him."
See, so I probably shouldn't have made this Strange endorsement because if he loses, people will say it's bad for me. But, I don't really care because I'll campaign for Roy Moore too. Same difference!
"I'm taking a big risk because if Luther does not make it, they are going to go after me."
Ain't gonna happen. People like crazy, and crazier the better, and this guy fits that bill very well. Trump is just the tip of the iceberg as a good chunk of America continues to flip the middle finger at the past 25 years of the political establishment (both GOP and Dem) status quo.Skjellyfetti wrote:Pray for our Dear lord and Savior to deliver a Doug Jones miracle.
You're absolutely correct about a good chunk of America the giving the middle finger t the establishment, but I don't think it matters whether or not the candidate is crazy or not, as long as he is seen as anti establishment. (A candidate can be virulently anti establishment and not be crazy (not saying whether this applies to Moore or not)). This was simply about Moore being seen as anti establishment, Strange being seen as establishment. Like you alluded to, people, esp those who vote in primaries, hate the establishment, status quo candidates.GannonFan wrote:Ain't gonna happen.

Doug Jones was a shitty relief pitcher for the Phillies (and others) who blew way too many saves.Skjellyfetti wrote:Pray for our Dear lord and Savior to deliver a Doug Jones miracle.
Wasn't Jones an all-star, with just two blown saves, in his only outing with the Phillies in 1994? There are been far worse players for the Phillies before and since to have a weird aversion to Doug Jones. May I suggest Steve "E" Jeltz as a start? Or Juan "Ding-Dong" Bell?Ivytalk wrote:Doug Jones was a shitty relief pitcher for the Phillies (and others) who blew way too many saves.Skjellyfetti wrote:Pray for our Dear lord and Savior to deliver a Doug Jones miracle.
Fair enough. I was probably thinking of his crappy year in Baltimore in '95. He had a fastball that couldn't break a pane of glass. If his changeup worked, he could get people out.GannonFan wrote:Wasn't Jones an all-star, with just two blown saves, in his only outing with the Phillies in 1994?

True dat. His year in Philly was certainly one of his better years. I do recall him sucking eggs in Baltimore. And he pitched a lot of years so I'm sure he threw some clunkers in there. Besides, that '94 year was the year after the Phillies had that magical run in '93 and it was clear early on that '94 was not going to be magical. That and the strike that ended the year makes '94 a very forgettable year anyway.Ivytalk wrote:Fair enough. I was probably thinking of his crappy year in Baltimore in '95.

Mostly agree, but calling Moore "anti-establishment" is way too generous. He's bat shit fucking crazy and I guarantee you there are some serious skeletons in that closet.BDKJMU wrote:You're absolutely correct about a good chunk of America the giving the middle finger t the establishment, but I don't think it matters whether or not the candidate is crazy or not, as long as he is seen as anti establishment.
