one of those we saw most recently was that alabama senate primary race between luther strange and roy moore. as you know, the president had endorsed luther strange and even came down to alabama to campaign for him at a rally, but steve bannon, that former white house chief strategist, who we know speaks to the president on a semiregular basis had endorsed roy moore. he was the controversial candidate who had been kicked off the state bench in alabama twice. once for refusing to uphold a supreme court law that made gay marriage legal. so a very controversial candidate that steve bannon was on the side there and promising to primary senator jeff flake if he ran for re-election. they are counting this a win in their book, brooke. >> jeff zeleny, to you, if this emboldens the senator or they try to spin this in their favor, he will not like the fact that steve bannon allies are taking credit for it? >> well, sure. and i think if you take a broader view of this, brooke, the challenge for a state like arizona, it is indeed on the verge, if it's not already, a swing state, essentially. just

up next, roy moore's victory over a candidate backed by president trump and alabama senate primary.ple of alabama know me and they understand what i stand for. i certainly support president trump's agenda and yes i'm an outsider, not part of the establishment. >> chris: judge were more saying he supports the president but not republican congressional leaders after beating their candidate, luther strange in this week's closely watched alabama senate primary. back now with the panel. josh, you mentioned earlier that you used to be the chief of staff to mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader and most observers read moore's victory as a slap at mcconnell and their establishment, the party leaders in congress. a sign that the populist movement that propelled donald trump to victory isn't done. are they right? >> i think it's a lot more complicated than that. this whole effort is being led by mr. bannon, who of course was at the right hand of the president for the better part of the last eight months and didn't accomplish a whole lot. eight months later after he's fired it's got to

alabama. let's discuss this race with doug jones, joining us now the democratic candidate for the u.s. senate doug, thank you for joining me. when you look at that poll what have you thoughts been when you see that number and also maybe the mood leading up to this? do you feel that you are really tied with roy moore? >> i think we're better than tied. we have been seeing such an energy out throughout alabama from one end of the state to the other. people won't change. people are sensing change. they don't want any more chaos. they see a dysfunctional washington, d.c. and they want someone who can reach across the aisles and have dialogue with people and talk to people and that's the only way we can get things done and they understand that roy moore is not that kind of figure and he is nothing, but a divisive and polarizing figure. so we're very encouraged with what we're seeing regardless of poll numbers and we are encouraged with what we're seeing and hearing with folks throughout the state. >> you said you believe you're better than tied. do you have polling that shows that or is that just

and what happened in alabama may not stay in alabama. senator bob corker won his last race by 25 points. he decided not to seek re-election. i sat down with him and the hearing room. he heads the committee, and i asked him about moore's victory and if he is getting out because the senate is increasingly looking a lot more like roy moore and a lot less like bob corker. why the is governing wing of the republican party, especially when i think about yourself or mitch mcconnell or paul ryan, why do you feel as if it's your wing that is taking the ire of this insurgent populist base? >> well, i mean, by the way, each of us are three different individuals -- >> no doubt, but you know what i mean here. but you guys have all operated within the spates of you try to pass what you can. >> yeah. look, again, if you look at washington for some time has not really been able to address, i think, the needs of people in our country. there are so many people in our country who have envisioned their life being different than it is today. so many of the people, h

and last nights senate primary in alabama is a perfect example of this.inner of that primary is a guy name judge roy moore, seen here yesterday riding a horse to the polling booth to cast his vote. and when you see a judge roy moore riding a horse to the polls, it's hard not to think, "is this cnn or turner classic movies?" [ light laughter ] moore is a darling of the far right known for his many years of open bigotry and homophobia. he defied the supreme court decision legalizing same-sex marriage, and he's also called for a muslim member of congress not to be seated because of his religion and said homosexual conduct should be illegal. now, trump himself endorsed moore's opponent, senator luther strange after repeated prodding from the gop establishment. but even trump seemed to know that his base was really much more in line with moore, because at a rally in alabama on friday to campaign for strange, trump actually admitted that in not endorsing moore, he might've made a mistake. >> i'm thrilled to be here with the really great person that i've gotten

, that he probably was going to lose the health care fight, most likely was going to lose the alabama senate race and he wanted to change the subject and he very successfully did change the subject. his handling of puerto rico seems to be a substantive probably recommend. back to katrina when another subject said "you're doing a heck of a job, brownie" in the midst of the disaster of katrina, and paid a big price to it, i think the gravity of what happened in puerto rico is the worst thing that happened to him because it goes to the fundamental competence of this administration and in the minds of some americans, it goes to whether he views what happens to american citizens in puerto rico differently than what happens to citizens in houston or miami. >> david axelrod, thank you as always. >> coming up, president trump winning fight with the nfl over the national anthem? a new pole has the revealing numbers. >> plus the mayor of san juan goes one-on-one with anderson cooper after going head to head with president trump on twitter. . filed a claim, but... you know how they send you money to co

this is a consequence of steve bannon bucking the president on the alabama senate primary there and bringing out loud voices against the president. this is the white house saying, okay, we hear you, we'll kill the deal. so this is the death of round one of the -- these are young adults who came to the united states as minors. this is the end of that deal. that's what this announcement is. because obviously democrats aren't going to do a deal that affect some relatively small percente ofllegal immigrants and do it for all of the marbles. maybe these elements show back up in a later comprehensive immigration plan if trump wants to do that at a later point. but for right now the dreamer is no good. >> shannon: we think about what we saw with nancy pelosi when she was back home in her district. she had a press conference who was taken over by people who thought she wassen doing enough. is there any incentive for dems to say, i'll come to the table because i have got to get something done for those 800,000 people that fall under the dreamers. i can give you maybe a couple thing, not 70 things on

we saw that in the alabama senate race. they're still with him in many polls. >> i found 10 mrs.test ball found that he's not level headed but support his job performance. that's tricky stuff. >>> van tir fair is reporting that some of the president's advisers are so concerned by the president's behavior right now that some are worried that it could cause the cabinet to take constitutional matter to remove him from office. i'm joined by dave jolly and former dnc adviser doug thornell. >> the only way to get rid of him is impeachment and conviction in the senator which is a two-thirds vote in the senate. or this 25th amendment thing where you have to say the president is unable to perform the duties. that is a very high bar. >> it is. gabe sherman's piece reads like a 20-count indictment repreparing for the 25th amendment to be invoked. it will likely never happen. what's important is john kelly. and we know that john kelly is a barometer for the seriousness of this administration. he is a sober leader. if john kelly were to ever leave, that's an independence occasion. as an attor
