moore rally pounding his head into the wall. i think donald trump occupies this interesting space where he triangulate between the steve bannon wing and the mitch mcconnell wing. he goes back and forth and he plays with them both. he supported luther strange and then he supported roy moore to keep that seat. i don t think donald trump is going to get any blame from the conservative voters about those. i think they have taken donald trump out of this equation. it was very much a rory more centric vote. not that we shouldn t learn from it but he was a uniquely flawed candidate. he managed to lose a uniquely republican state. i don t think donald trump is going to get any blame, at least not from republicans, and if democrats try and cast on him, i don t know if it will resonate. i beg to differ. the reason why, if you look at
resign, and investigations. and i think you were going to see more of that. if you had roy moore in that seat, the g.o.p. establishment believed that that was going to be a real problem in 2018. doug jones is going to be a democrat. he will probably hold the line out some things. but if you want to get reelected in 2020, he is going to have to check the box and what alabama believes, at least some of that, because if you put policies of the trump agenda up for a vote in alabama, it would be an overwhelming win. shannon: i heard someone refer to him you may remember who it is potentially a mansion senator joe manchin of alabama. he is also somebody who is a conservative, moderately conservative democrat. he knows how the voters at home feel, and i was there in west virginia covering a senate race when he ran. there were people on both sides of the aisle who loved him, who felt like he was through to west virginia values that he wasn t going to tow the party line.

next tuesday. that information needs to be back in our office by next friday, the 22nd. the earliest that the vote can be certified will be the 26th of december and the latest will be january the third. so within that window, there are a number of things that have to be processed and executed by the local offices and each one of the 67 counties, as well as our office, the office of the secretary of state. we need to make sure that everything is done according to plan, to ensure that the integrity and preservation of the credibility of this process is secure. shannon: okay. the man we now think is a senator elect, not officially without your certification, but doug jones, appears to have one tonight, the democrat. he s got a lot waiting for him tonight but just so folks are reminded, this is essentially a two-year term for him as he fills the sea that was vacated by jeff sessions when he became the attorney general. you know, two years outcome a lot of people are already running for t
