Trump lost TWICE in Alabama
Strongly backed Strange. Lost.
Strongly backed Moore. Lost.
As we've seen elsewhere the Repubs nominated from a bubble
Like with THE COOCH in Virginia (they changed the rule to caucus not primary) instead of Bolling 4 years ago they nominated Moore instead the safe smart bet of Strange.
You could make the case that Trump also was nominated from their own bubble. He was a constant on Fox & Friends for years prior to his run. He won the early races with 25-30% and then just got rolling. Fox actually cancelled a debate because he wasn't going to show up.
Frankly I'm still shocked that Jones won in Alabama, Trump and the RNC/GOP should be too. There's no WAY a Dem should win a statewide race in Alabama.
