the policies on his horse had a constellation of anti-establishment stars behind him including sarah palin, chuck norris and the president's former chief strategist steve bannon. >> the question was called in the state of alabama. the people are the money and alabama answered today. >> reporter: a staunch conservative moore thinks america has lost its basic source of moral. he was twice removed from the bench including not removing a ten commandments monument and refusing to issue marriage licenses for same sex couples. he also said homosexual conduct should be illegal. >> i never prayed to win this campaign. i've only played that god's will be done. >> reporter: strange backed by mainstream republicans like mitch mcconnell and the president himself, but

primary, also loses the battle over health care. >> the president deleted several tweets where he was underlining his endorsement of string. a double barrel loss. one thing in common with both of these big defeats for president trump on the health care bill and in this alabama primary in both cases he was following the lead of republican senate leader mitch mcconnell. he was going with the republican establishment. i think the lesson the president is going to take that's not going to happen anymore. i look for him to be further divided from that republican establishment on capital hill. >> that's the lesson the president is going to take. john avalon you're liking to see more primary challenges to entrenched republicans. >> that's right. roy moore was seen as extremely conservative on every issue. this is going to

fissure. we saw bob corker decline to run for reelection. this is a sign of things to come. the point jon makes that trump got pushed with mcconnell and he's going to go with his base. >> alabama is a long shot for democrats. you can imagine they'll use roy moore in other races across the country. >> absolutely. this is somebody who has been a pro vac tore, someone who has been a culture warrior. the democrats are putting forward a former federal prosecute. he has an interesting record and helped reignite the birmingham bombings. still a major road up him and the democrats are going to be running against roy moore. >> meanwhile the president hoping to unify the republican party by moving on to tax cuts.

major speech in indiana. this is a tough road. >> it's a very tough road ahead. he's going to once again have to work with the republican leadership. george, i think on taxes you'll see a different approach from the president. you're already seeing indications of this. the president in a meeting at the white house yesterday made it clear he does not want to see tax cuts for the very wealthy. he ponted to two of his top aides who helped craft this plan steven mnuchin and gary cohen and said they will not be getting a tax cut. >> when you look at the details will the wealthy be getting a tax cut one? >> the corporate tax will be dropped dramatically. is it raised a little bit. do they try to offset it. if it's going to be a

president that's going to be fascinating. that's what they've done in the past. >> george now to the historic decision in saudi aye rab i can't. it's been the only country to ban women drivers. that will change next summer. president trump calls it a positive step towards women's right. saudi critics say it will corrupt society. reporters noticed the change d and. this has been a long battle. >> it certainly has. >> absolutely. we'll go to the scandal solving college basketball. ten men including four assistant coaches arrested on corruption charges. >> linsey davis is here with the story. seems like they were playing a game off the court. >> you're right.

>> beneath the march madness veneer is this dark under belly of college basketball. >> the ncaa president issued a statement calling out the accused as being out of bounds. saying the bribery allegations suggest an extraordinary and despicable breach of trust. >> this is just the start i'm sure. >> all right guys. now to the big news from twitter. the social media site doubling down testing a plan to double the length of tweets from 140 to 280. abc's rebecca jarvis here. >> good morning robin. this is a small change but a big move according to twitter founder some responding to the new 280 limit with just two characters on twitter n and o no. >> reporter: blowing up the twitter overnight news from the
