Al frankens resignation. But at least five more congressmen are now under scrutiny for allegations of sexual muss conduct. But we start in alabama. Where we are just two days out from the special election between Democrat Doug Jones and republican roy moore. And its becoming a test of will for many republicans there. Buck the president and the party or support a man accused of Sexual Harassment and molestation. And perhaps no one explained the fundamental dilemma better than the states senior senator Richard Shelby who wrote in the name of a difference distinguished republican. I understand where the president is coming from. I understand we would like to retain that seat in the u. S. Senate. But i tell you what. I there is a time that we call it a tipping point.

Typically midterms are referendums on the sitting president , and, well, that is more true than ever this election year. Heck, we just saw the governors race in florida last week get winnowed down to a person that was a trump clone versus a democrat who was an impeachment progressive.
