CLOSE Alabama voters are getting a recorded phone call of President Donald Trump saying he needs Republican  Roy Moore  in the U.S. Senate. The recording includes Trump saying progress on his agenda will be "stopped cold" Democrat Doug Jones is elected. (Dec. 11) AP
"Huntsville is Republican territory but not  Roy Moore  territory " said Joseph Smith  chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Alabama. "That's a place where you might see a drop off in Republican voting." Madison County is also one of the most populous in the state  so both candidates need to perform well there.
If Jones can keep  Moore  at or below Trump's numbers in Madison County   he  may have a chance.
This is a key part of the equation in the Huntsville area as well as in Mobile County  the second largest county in the state.  Moore  is a controversial conservative who has twice been removed from  his  position as chief justice on the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to enforce laws  he  felt violated  his  Christian beliefs  a kind of religious indignation that is less popular among suburban women.
In addition  the explosive allegations against  Moore  — that  he  pursued romantic contact with teenage girls when  he  was in  his  30s — could cost  him  the support of some women who traditionally vote Republican.

Itâs now going in and having to tell the President of the United States  âHey  I embarrassed  myself   your administration and in some cases  I think did something the American people are not pleased with.'â
Melvin had asked  Spicer  to watch a highlight reel of his âgreatest hitsâ as press secretary â which included clips of him repeatedly defending the presidential inauguration numbers and his infamous claim that Adolf Hitler didnât use chemical weapons â before questioning him about his time in the Trump administration.

Weâll get over this.â Thatâs what made me actually get through a lot of it  was knowing that he actually was forgiving in a lot of my mistakes.â
