to donald trump s victory. i think donald trump always under performed in polls that were live. those people didn t want to say, yeah, i m voting for him. it s just like doug jones, all right, like roy moore. i think in these live polls, a lot of people aren t going to admit they re voting for this guy. it also be that roy moore has never been that popular of a general election candidate in alabama him romney overperformed him by ten points if 2012. he historically has been someone that alabamans are mixed on. when he ran for governor, he came in i think fourth place in the primary there. right. last time you were in for supreme court s justice, he won by three points it was not a run away race. before all these accusations and the controversy came out, he says he s the best candidate, having said that, doug jones is
operation to speak of. it was shocking. with roy moore, if roy moore wins today, he also shatters all the old beliefs about running a campaign. you got to knock on doomplts you got to do this. you got to do that. knock on doors. he has been in hiding the past couple weeks. so if he wins, it is in spite of, of his own campaign. well, there is visry as to where roy moore was this past weekend. the weekend he is closing the deal to voters, he se nowhere to be seen. in contrast to that, dug jones is running all over the state, is staying and taking every last selfie video. his headquarters is booming and bustling. there is a lot of momentum. i was at his headquarters yesterday, volunteers were coming in saying we want science, we want to volunteer. i also point out a lot of the volunteers were a majority of women, too.
from paul ryan, when you hear from a lot of the republican leaders, weren t they still saying we need to stay out of robert mueller s way and let him do his zblob. job? yes, that s been the vast majority for republicans on capitol hill. they want this question of what happened resolved, and a lot of them have taken much harder lines and stronger stances toward russian interfeern in re the election, and they re baffled by why the president isn t doing anything about that. he said in that tweet it s democrat trying to investigate him for collusion. it s not democrats in fact it s bob mueller. he can try all he wants to discredit bob mueller, for it s not going to work. and by the way, it s bob mueller, republican? appointed by george w. bush. yes, a republican appointee. it all started when you had jeff sessions, his own attorney
takes personal attacks against us or pushes conspiracy theories out against us. i talked to a lot of people in the media that during the rallies would be in the press box, and he would point to the press, and it would get very ugly, and there were people that had to be escorted out concerned for their safety. every administration has some type of distrust for the prez. you think they re out to get you and asking too many tough question and they re biassed, wh whatever, but only nixon in my lifetime had this hostility to the press, the belief the press was evil and should be put in a box. and even using phrases like trump like enemy of the people. it s a scary time. still ahead on morning joe. i know one thing. nobody can come down here and tell folks in alabama what to do. so tomorrow it s incumbent upon
it s a nightmare. i have to say one thing about the difference between elected a governor and a senator. you look a little closer to the character of somebody you re voting for governor for that s going to be running your state day in and day out. instead of somebody that s going to go to washington d.c., go to hearings and vote. you know how roy moore is going to vote 75% of the time. he may be crazy 25% of the time. but if it s a choice for governor, people look a lot closer. in the state of florida, usually, you would get sort of more the bob graham types, these moderate characters. and states have a way of working that out. they look at their federal office holders differently. they see the guy or gal as governor as the one handling the money at home.
