[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore Christian ? 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.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dick Durbin ? Democratic leader Sen. Dick Durbin  is retreating from  his  threats to block federal spending unless the GOP agrees to  his  no-strings DREAM Act amnesty â but is now trying to find GOP allies for an amnesty which includes token border-security measures.
The retreat was called during  his  December 10 appearance on âFace the Nation â where  Durbin  was reminded of  his  prior claim that âIâm not prepared to go home for the holidays until we get our work done.â In response  the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate said the amnesty is just one of several issues in the budget debate  effectively dropping his amnesty-or-shutdown threat:
 Durbin âs fallback tactic is reviving the âGang of Eightâ group with several new GOP Senators to demand an amnesty in exchange for a few symbolic border security measures  such as extra video cameras.  His  plan was highlighted by a report in TheDenverChannel.com.
The new discussion involves pairing the Dream Act with some border security measures in an attempt to pass a bipartisan solution for the undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children  three Senate aides told Denver7 in interviews this weekâ¦ Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.)  Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and  Democratic Whip Dick Durbin  (D-Ill.)  who were all part of the bipartisan âGang of Eightâ that passed a comprehensive immigration reform package through the Senate in 2013  are leading the discussions  according to the three aides with knowledge of the talksâ¦ Two of the Senate aides also told Denver7 that Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina were involved in the talks. Graham was also a member of the âGang of Eightâ and is the sponsor of this yearâs version of the Dream Act â¦
The âGang of Eightâ proved to be a political disaster for  Durbin  and for Sen. Chuck Schumer  the two leaders of the project. It was introduced in 2013 and it generated massive national opposition which helped cost the Democrats nine seats in 2014. In 2016  real-estate investor Donald Trump used the issue to win the GOP nomination and the Presidency  sending Schumer and  Durbin  back into the minority.
President Donald Trump is expected to reject  Durbin âs new pitch. On October 8  Trump announced his popular immigration principles  which include making E-Verify mandatory  plus ending chain-migration and the visa-lottery. The biggest element in Trumpâs plan is ending chain-migration  which would raise Americansâ salaries by halving the inflow of legal immigrant workers.
GOP Senators are wary of  Durbin âs project. For example   Durbin  claimed Sunday that GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski backs an amnesty for the 3 million young illegals  usually dubbed âdreamersâ by Democrats and the media.  Durbin  told âFace the Nationâ that:
Coloradoâs Sen. Cory Gardner has kept a low profile in the debate  but he announced in September that he supported  Durbin âs no-strings DREAM Act amnesty:
When asked about  Durbin âs plan  Gardnerâs office gave an evasive answer to TheDenverChannel.com:
Other GOP Senators denied any role when Breitbart asked them if they were working with  Durbin . âThat is absolutely not true â said Megan Taylor  a spokeswoman for Nevada GOP Sen. Dean Heller. âThat is not accurate â said Brook Ramlet  a spokeswoman for Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham created the Gang of Eight in late 2012 and is now working with both rivals groups headed by Grassley and  Durbin . When recently asked about Grassleyâs plan â which only offers three-year work permits to 690 000 DACA illegals â Graham insisted that the larger population of 3 million younger illegals must get citizenship.
Sen. Marco Rubioâs office did not respond to questions from Breitbart News about possible talks with  Durbin .  His  presidential hopes were destroyed by  his  support of the Gang of Eight deal which would have reduced Americans salaries while increasing Wall Street stock-values  according to a 2013 report by the Congressional Budget Office.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Gloria ? Host Jimmy Fallon returned to the âThe Tonight Showâ desk on Monday night for the first time since the death of his mother  Gloria  and had Taylor Swift on hand for a surprise musical performance.
It was a really tough day for our whole staff. A lot of us knew  his mom Gloria   and  she  was the best. The best.  She  loved the show   she  loved all of us  and most of all   she  loved Jimmy. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
First  a quick word about Taylor Swift.  She  was not scheduled to do our show today. But we wanted something special for this first show back  so we asked  her  on a complete whim  since  she  had been in town doing SNL.  She  said yes with zero hesitation. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
 She  sang "New Year's Day." No one had heard it. Suddenly  she  sings the line  "Squeeze my hand 3 times in the back of the taxi." I nearly gasped. Tears. I think everyone in the audience started sobbing. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
