you questioned your support for roy moore? no. no. i m very much aligned with his values and his principles and his policies that he talks about. a secure border, lower government, a repeal of obamacare. reporter: the moore campaign put its female supporters front and center. in his own ad, and on the campaign trail. including ann eubank who told us it was a different time when the allegations took place, and even if they re true, there are bigger priorities. roy moore, we know, will stand on conservative principles and doug jones is a far left liberal democrat who will vote like the democrats tell him to vote. and we do not want that. reporter: alex marquart, cnn, birmingham, alabama. thank you for the report. in syria, many detainees do not survive government prisons. so an activist smuggled pieces of cloth with the names of his fellow cell mates written in blood. the story next.
senators hatch, tuomie, portman, scott and cornyn and the president will visit the hill tomorrow. republicans largely publicly remain confident that passage is within reach. i believe it will pass, chris. i think that in the end we have members who are expressing what are legitimate concerns who have ideas about how to make the bill stronger and better. we re open to those and we ll have an open process on the floor of the united states senate where people can offer amendments. they can be talked about and voted upon. there are opportunities to change the bill. on the other hand we need to get this accomplishment. undergirding that optimism is the fact that this is unlike obamacare, the repeal of obamacare, this is not taking something away, perceived something taken away from the american public but giving something new to the public allowing them to spend more of their hard earned money and on
i think that now that the senate bill has this provision in it, it really may help push us over the line not only on tax reform but teeing up another bill come 2018 for the full repeal and replacement of obamacare. i m hopeful the senate will pass this. the question is will the house in conference once the senate bill passes, will that be a sticking point to tax reform? and a lot of drama to play out now in washington in the next couple of weeks. it has been so calm the past year, nothing has really happened. we ll get drama. michael hopkins, to you, if this does get republicans closer, cut it any way you want, gets them closer, are democrats worried that president trump and republicans will get a major legislative victory? democrats are always going to be worried whenever 13 million americans risk losing health insurance. i don t see the individual mandate being repealed. senator mccain hold on.
warships that killed 17 sailors which the navy said was preventable. you have done incredible work on this. it looks like there is more to uncover. lucas tomlinson at the pentagon. happy thanksgiving to you and yours. after the trump administration seemed to back off from including it in tax reform, obamacare s individual mandate could be back on the chopping block. the chances it gets the axe. we ll talk about that plus president trump seeing some bright spots amid historically low approval ratings. we ll break it all down. that s coming up soon.

traction. i don t quite know what the impetus is by saying look our donors want this. they re saying they re going to go away. that s not a winning thing. you re not hearing the level of opposition from republican senators or republicans in the house that you were to the repeal of obamacare. there s more support on it in ko congress on the republican side even though the polls show people are buying the democrat side. i think it s less of a visceral issue. even if it passes, it will have a shorter shelf life for republicans as a victory. they might think it s going to give us all kind of leverage going forward. i don t see that. rick, you ve run campaigns. i sort of ran my own campaign. everything i looked at politically, i looked at it in the prism of what happened the last two weeks.
