Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said Sunday he doesn't believe President Trump's late push to back Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore will be the difference in Tuesday's special election.

“I think Roy Moore has his own following regardless of whether the president’s involved or others. I don’t know what’s going to happen Tuesday. It depends on the turnout, and go from there," Shelby said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

"But I do believe, and I’m going to say it again, the Republicans could do better," he added.

Trump last week issued a full endorsement for the Republican candidate, whom multiple women have accused of sexual misconduct while they were teenagers and Moore was in his 30s. On Saturday, Trump urged attendees at a rally in Pensacola, Fla., to vote for Moore, arguing Democrat Doug Jones won't support the Republican agenda.

1. That's not the issue

The issue is win or lose Trump is now helping cement Roy Moore to the Republican Party.

2. The P in GOP stands for............

PERVERTS and PEDOPHILES

Those of you who have Republican Representatives and Senators, remind them what the P stands for. Hammer it home in messages to them that electing a man whose pastmis mired in pedophelia and sexual assault, and a President who has 19 women accusing him of sexual assault,, and is in power. Remind them of their hypocrisy that if they refuse to do anything to remedy this stain, you and millions of people will.

3. Maybe the Alabama Pastors letter reviling Moore for his moral and ethical bankruptcy

has finally broken the spell...and maybe Franken was the magic ingredient.
