dynamics, i think, if luther strange had not accepted that appointment in governor bentley rob: who he was investigating. luther strange would have been a shoe. that s the tone for 2018 and various primaries around the country. if mitch mcconnell and dc establishment can spend 30 million to protect luther strange and loses by double digits, nobody is protected anymore. heather: let s take a look at the final tally, luther change 4.51%. won by 44,000 votes. did you expect it to be that wide of a margin and what does this say, a lot of people were saying that it was bannon versus president and bannon won this round? you know, this is i do think it s about trump voters saying, listen, president trump we love you but we love roy moore more. the second point is, i had been
reputable polling company, they have moore up by 10 points. now, that s going to narrow some. everything here is going to depend on turnout. i spoke with the secretary of state earlier today and he said they expect between 12, 15% turnout. which means some 200 to 300,000 people are going to elect the junior senator from alabama. i did want to ask you about luther change and his connection to the disgraced former governor robert bentley who resigned after a sex scandal. do you think that has anything to do with his popularity. it has everything to do with his popularity. if luther strange had not accepted the amt from governor bentley, he would be the next senator from alabama because he had it in the bag. but when he accepted that appointment, he said, when the reporters asked him, which we did as well, was there any type
establishment senator. bob corker said he will not seek re-election in 2018. and mitch mcconnell declared the latest version of the gop health care bill officially dead. good luck getting out the vote today for luther change. and the senate republican primary runoff in alabama is going. yet it s election day. polls are set to close in less than three hours. what is being decided may be more than just who the republican nominee will be in the race to fill jeff sessions vacant seat. the battle is between luther strange, and roy moore. mitch mcconnell is backing strange. you might have heard about that. so is, technically, the president and vice president pence. sarah palin, steve bannon and sebastian gorka are backing moore. that means this race is essentially trump versus
