the president added roy moore will be devastated.consequences- roy moore not backing down saying, quote, the president doesn't control who votes for the united states senate in alabama. they know i'll win, moore said. that's why they are upset. >> i'm not sure that the statement that the president doesn't control who votes is actually accurate because, of course, the president is deeply popular in alabama, but also roy moore does have really good name id in this state. lost by a mar jib of a smaller number of write-in votes in doug jones so it's not unthinkable that he could run and win and be the republican nominee so that's certainly the option here. whether or not he goes forward, i don't think it will deter him from running based on his statements there because the president and donald trump j had come out against him. even though the president said he had nothing against ray moore and the reason he's saying this he doesn't believe he can win.
