Trump looks to boost Moore with Friday rally

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump is headed to Florida on Friday for a rally that appears aimed at boosting Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore’s chances in a special election next week. 

The trip to Pensacola, Fla. — just 20 miles away from the Alabama border — may have initially been scheduled to give Trump a way to rally the Republican base in Alabama while keeping some distance from Moore, who is accused of sexual misconduct, including assault, involving teenagers.

But Trump explicitly endorsed Moore this week, calling the candidate directly to offer his support.

“What this is is President Trump signaling to his base, to his ‘Deplorables,’ that he still has their back,” said one Republican strategist who supports Trump. 

“Have you ever known President Trump to go half-in?”

Trump’s decision to stand beside Moore, who is not expected to attend the Florida rally, was a long time coming.

White House officials initially condemned the alleged sexual misconduct and kept their distance, with White House counselor Kellyanne Conway declaring in an interview that “that there is no Senate seat worth more than a child."

1. Hey Donnie, you know what would be a real crowdpleaser?

How about predicting a Moore win because black voters are too lazy to go to the polls. That'll get 'em on their feet.
