The culture that began with reckoning of sex crimes today shook the nations capitol as lawmakers responded to sharp criticism of inappropriate behavior.

Cant let Schumer Pelosi win this race. Would be bad. Reporter some have urged President Trump to persuade roy moore to leave the race and he denies that pressure saying he says he hasnt done anything wrong and some say he is endorsing roy moore. Lets bring in mark murray, our political senior editor. This alabama race, a lot supporters saying he should drop out and others saying he shouldnt. What if he wins . If roy moore doesnt end up winning you will see democrats labeling the Democratic Party the party of donald trump and roy moore as we head into the 2018 elections. If roy moore ends up losing republicans will find a situation where democrats are one seat closer to a majority in 2018 if there is a wave. This is a big week on capitol hill, President Trump trying to get his tax plan passed and spending before the end of the year. How could this impact legislation. This entire story weve been seeing has been a political earthquake shaking washington. Congressional insiders and others have told me they are bracing for allegations in the weeks and months ahead. When it comes to tax reform, the really big political issue going on the next couple of weeks, its really up to 51 votes. If the republicans can get 51 votes, and were looking at the Lisa Murkowskis of alaska, john mccain of arizona, that matters more in the short story although this has a long term problem for democrats and republicans going forward.
