when vaughn was talking to us, his team was trying to get the vote out. is moore staying inside because he needs to or because he s comfortable? well, i think probably both. he s most comfortable right now hiding. i think he would rather have the donald trump and steve bannons of the world make the case for him, but there are a lot of questions he doesn t have the answer for that he doesn t want to address, and if the conversation is roy moore versus the accuser, he s going to lose that fight on election day. donald trump and steve bannon versus much mcconnell, that s a fight that he s looking to play out for him on tuesday. also one of the themes here, joel, is the idea of this being a referendum on whether accusations or allegations of sexual harassment, of sexual assault, of sexual misconduct, is now going to be removed from the importance and discussion in political races. that this current president
last night the president was not far away, he was there in florida, he said vote for roy moore, so i ask you, gabriel, how is moore as well as the democratic opponent doug jones using the president s endorsement of moore in the last 36 or so hours before election day? well, you re not hearing doug jones talk about donald trump at all and that s because he knows that president trump is very popular here in alabama, but moore is certainly focusing a lot on the support from the president. he s getting a real boost from the president showing up just across the border. as far as i can tell talking to moore allies, what they are really focused on right now is trying to turn out voters who are big trump supporters but aren t necessarily wild about roy moore, getting the support from the president and trying to circulate as much as possible, well, that s moore s game right now. if it s all about president trump, show the president endorsement impacting voters, do you think it ll get them t
