So says Politico (who are on probation around here but still).
Donald Trump has agreed to record a robocall for Alabama Republican Roy Moore ahead of next week’s special election, the president’s most direct involvement in Alabama on behalf of the embattled candidate to date.
[…]It will be Trump’s second robocall on behalf of a candidate in two months: He also cut one for Ed Gillespie in the Virginia gubernatorial race, which the Republican lost.
He has endorsed him, rallied for him, shilled for him, and is now robocalling for him. Moore is 100% the Republicans’ problem now and forevermore.
I can’t imagine the need for this. But there it is.
Smart politics? Or an own goal? You decide.
