President Trump said Wednesday that Alabama’s special election proved he was right to support Luther Strange as the GOP Senate candidate, since Roy Moore couldn’t win.

“The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not e able to win the General Election,” Trump tweeted. “I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!”
