was asked that very question about what lessons were learned after last season. the job that fema and law enforcement and everybody did working along with the governor in puerto rico, i think, was tremendous. i think that puerto rico was an incredible, unsung success. fema s own report, as we ve talked about, stated multiple areas where you said we could have done better and nearly 3,000 people were killed from that storm. how is any of that, then, an incredible unsung success? well, there are a lot of positive things that fema did that the territory did, that ngo partners did. but we have to look at this as the whole community response. i liken emergency preparedness and response to a four-legged chair. there s the federal government that s involved, there s the state or territory that s involved, there is the private sector and our nonprofits that are involved, as well as individual preparedness. if any one of those legs are not
listen to this. i m going to have to lean towards the patriots. you can t go against tom. i never really go against tom brady. i seen his story a lot of times. time and time again. quarterback coach for the philadelphia eagles was high teammate here in buffalo. i want to see him get a super bowl ring. so i m pulling for philadelphia. and if they win, i think it will be an upset and i will never bet against tom brady, but anything is possible. now, the super bowl host committee has done a great job with activations for allowing fans to experience the bold north. you have to brave the elements for some of it. andy scholes was up for it, he does crossfit. oh, it s so cold. cold in-gedeedindeed. we have more of andy and jim
and a lot of votes here, and shelby county, these are your moderate suburban republican voters which we saw. we saw in the presidential primaries in 2016 and saw in virginia and new jersey, these people have a lot of trouble with donald trump. i tell you, for a lot of voters in alabama, and i spent a lot of time, i met doug when we were in the clinton justice department. i have known him for a long time. there are a lot of voters in alabama who this race is not about right versus left, it s about right versus wrong. when they look at doug s history of standing up for people and they see what roy moore is continuing to do, what he has done to young children, what he has done throughout his career, they want someone who is fighting for them, not someone who is fighting the culture wars. that s why i believe doug can appeal to women who have historically voted republican. and that s exactly what we re doing. and he can go into rural alabama and talk to people about the fact that the opi
press secretary would essentially correct or add to what the secretary of state said earlier. erin. certainly so, but of course, with this secretary of state, we see this all too often. jeff, thank you very much. and now, as i said, just less than 40 minutes away from polls closing, let s go back to jake tapper in washington. all eyes in alabama right now. we re all awaiting the first results of the election. one thing i wanted to go over is the idea of whether or not the democrats have really made an effort to win this seat. indeed, they have. let s take a look at some of the statistics and data we have gathered. first of all, democrat doug jones has raised more than twice as much money as republican roy moore. and spent more than twice as much money. a lot of that money, obviously, going to tv spots. you can see here, doug jones, a democrat, has run more than ten times the number of tv spots as roy moore in this very competitive election.
colorado to say if moore wins the last senator to be expelled from the senate was in 1862 for supporting the confederacy. it doesn t happen a lot. let s not assume it s going to happen. the other thing i thought was fascinating from dean, this quote. he didn t talk about doug jones at all. right? the democrat, he didn t talk about chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, barack obama, hillary clinton. mitch mcconnell and the establishment can t take this country away from us. yeah. i mean, that s remarkable. this is not a republican primary republican runoff. this is a general election between a republican and a democrat, and the message that they ran on, steve bannon talked about it, roy moore talked about mitch mcconnell much more than chuck schumer or anyone else. i think it s worth noting that that s the closing message here. that s what donald trump ran on also, as i was saying before in the break, that it s very clear that the roy moore campaign has torn a page out of the donald trump
