Roy Moore Talks About Immorality As President Trump Blames Others For Loss

Trump’s Bitter Pill

The loss was seemingly a hard pill for Trump to swallow. He really wanted to win Alabama; the loss could possibly delay his agenda.

He said “wish we would have gotten the seat.  A lot of Republicans feel differently. They’re very happy with the way it turned out.” Trump gave this statement during a briefing.

Andy Surabian worked for Bannon and said his support of Moore was all about McConnell. He argued that Bannon wasn’t keen about Moore. Bannon’s support of Moore was to show up McConnell.

“Team Mitch successfully delivered this race to a liberal Democrat and so they won the battle, but in the end, we will win the war,” Surabian said.

Tony Fabrizio blamed Trump’s advisers. Fabrizio wrote on Twitter “this disaster could have been avoided.”

He later tweeted “there does need to be a recognition of the lousy political advice @POTUS has been getting and it needs to change. The future of @POTUS agenda depends on it!”
