I would have won Alabama: Trump spreads blame for Moores loss
Source: MSN/Washington Post
Shortly after Democrat Doug Jones wrested back one of Alabama's solidly Republican U.S. Senate seats for the first time in more than two decades, President Trump offered an optimistic and forward-looking assessment on Twitter, congratulating Jones on his "hard fought victory."
But by Wednesday morning, as Trump watched the unflattering portrait of the loss unfold on television, the president grew piqued at the notion that he, somehow, was responsible.
"I won Alabama, and I would have won Alabama again," Trump said, according to a senior administration official.
He told advisers he didn't want the results to be seen as a referendum on him, and asked if he still had a solid base of support in the state. He also questioned Wednesday if he had made the right decision and if Sen. Luther Strange the Republican he begrudgingly endorsed who went on to lose the party's primary could have beat Jones in the general election.

(38,454 posts)Pres. Trump's current job rating stands at a net negative 32% approve and 56% disapprove. This marks his lowest rating in Monmouth's polling since taking office in January. Prior polls conducted over the course of the past year showed his approval rating ranging from 39% to 43% and his disapproval rating ranging from 46% to 53%.
