Yesterday's election in Alabama is further confirmation that Trump is losing ground. Trump threw his weight behind Roy Moore in a state where he won the popular vote over HC by 27 points. The response? The people of Alabama, thankfully, could not stomach the likes of Roy Moore, and narrowly elected a democrat to the United States Senate.
Other signs of the decline of the Trump dynasty have already occurred. The off year election in Virginia should have been enough of a wake up call. The democrat candidate for governor was elected with a nine point margin over his opponent. Hillary Clinton only beat Trump by five points in 2016.
The other wake up call should be the low opinion poll numbers. Today, Realclearpolitics average of twelve polls has Trump with an average of approval rating of only 37%. This is shockingly low for a President who has only served eleven months in office. I'm sure some will react to this by saying something like "the liberal media polls are always wrong when it comes to Trump". That excuse has gotten old. So, Trump barely won the election back in 2016. What has he done to demonstrate his popularity lately?
Now, add in, a miserable legislative record in Congress.
We are not at the beginning of the end of his presidency. However, it is fair to say we are at the end of the beginning.
BS!
Moore was a crap candidate.
Trump said he would lose.
Sooooo... explain why trump threw his support so heavily behind moore then? He coulda just kept out of it, and not damaged his credibility by doing so, right? Then, he wouldn't have to pretend that he was "right".
Actually, I think it was due to the enthusiastic support of President Trump in Alabama that the Democrat needed a record turnout of the black vote and disinterested Republican suburbanites to eke out a victory by less than a percentage point over a credibly accused pedophile.
The Democrats still have a lot of rebuilding to do in order to repair decades of atrophy. I haven't noticed any enthusiasm for the party in my community.

I didn't get one of those robocalls he recorded a day or two before the election but I'm pretty sure he didn't say "oh, never mind, screw it, he's going to lose anyway"

yeah you keep telling yourself that a Democratic Senate win in a state that Trump won last year by almost 30 points, and where the Alabama GOP pretended that they didn't believe any of the accusations against Moore was just fine for the GOP, no problem at all. And btw, Jones won by 1.5% not less than a percentage point assuming you care about facts.

Trump was behind Luther Strange in the primary, not Moore. He said Moore couldn't win if he won the primary. Trump stayed silent when the accusation against Moore came out (there was only one accusation that was criminal) to see what would happen. When it became clear there was no evidence of wrong doing, then he backed Moore, the GOP candidate in order to maintain a 52-48 majority in the senate.
Let me get this straight, you thought Trump was credible before this, but now you find him less credible? I can tell you this, no one who leans right cares.
