he s attacking the quote-unquote victims here. i absolutely agree with gloria, he tried to muddy the waters. here. and i m not buying the case about, oh, the judge sees plenty of cases. and why provide this paperwork then to corroborate you know her? just to make her look bad. it doesn t add up and make sense. and frankly i don t really know if this is helpful or harmful to the voters in alabama. i know we talked about the polling and sliding in the polls. i think this is what we were hearing in the presidential election, in the general when we folks were saying, donald trump can t get elected, when we found out people in polling were not just willing to say you think there s more support for roy moore in alabama. i think there s more sport than people are letting on. there s a chance doug jones could win. doug jones needs only needs 28% of african-american support to win this election. i don t know what support the
governor of alabama, kay ivy, appoint a new senator. could be sessions, could be someone else, but that would reset the process. some people were tweeting about that today. that appears to be under research at the highest levels of the republican party. i m also hearing from people in the white house that there is enormous frustration on behalf of the president and his senior staff because they believe this roy moore thing is embarrassing to the party, but they also believe there are really no good options, and that frankly he may not even be able to get the alabama republican apparatus to bend to his will anyway, because it ain t like it used to be. you know, local control of parties now seems to trump what the national structure wants. so there s a lot of frustration in washington. i think all the options really to get this done are dead, except for this idea of a resignation by strange, which would reset the election. i think if donald trump were to come out, had he done something
dnc has put out to support that. i just think we need to take a step back here. but if there are enough moderate republicans in alabama that are like, look, i don t like this, the pedophilia is just a little too much for me, perhaps doug jones will be elected senator. but i think we have to be realistic. yeah, polling around a news bomb like this could be extremely volatile. i believe moore has dramatically fallen off, but i don t believe the race is over for him. he could win. jackie spears says two form er lawmakers are accused of sexual allegations and more than million dollars have been paid out in secret using your tack dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. dollars and other claims. her interview when we continue. who are these p
against roy moore. you asked me, i told you. well, all this is happening on a day that saw roy moore s attorney go raising questions about one of his accusers. the accuser s attorney has responded. president trump did not say anything when asked questions about it after he spoke on television earlier today. we begin with cnn s kyung lah in birmingham, alabama. so i understand judge moore just tweeted about all this. what did he say? reporter: it s an indication of where his campaign is headed, what path he s going to take. and it is certainly going to be to try to pit alabama against washington, d.c. take a look at this tweet that came out just a few moments ago, anderson. it is terse, clear, and it says dear mitch mcconnell, bring it on. that, anderson, is an issue that works and resonates in rural alabama where we spent a good bit of time talking to those voters.
authority. what would be the moment of him not weighing in on this? if he doesn t weigh in on it, there won t be any harm to the election process, because it will just continue but his agenda his agenda is in peril here. we knew about polling last night and heard more about it today. the republicans in washington believe moore is now down in double digits. i heard about polling prior to these issues in which he d seen his lead down by 2 points, largely because jones and the democrats are outstanding the republicans in alabama. and now with the nrsc out and rnc out and basically anybody who can help fund-raising there out, that spending disparity is going to get worse. that disparity is going to get worse. so there are a lot of people out there who believe he was already declining, this is going to get worst. think about this. steve bannon may elect a democrat to the reddest state in america. i think you re giving steve bannon too much credit. one second.
