Faith may be strongly moved by our faith principles. when you get sworn in as a senator or judge, you put your hand on the bible and you swear allegiance to the constitution, not the other way around. >> he understands, senator. he just doesnt accept it. there is this notion that roy moore may not be seated. i dont see how he could keep him from being seated. >> thats right, chris. the supreme court precedent suggests that as long as a candidate meets the constitutional requirements to be seated...

He probably wont win. you have national figures obviously playing a role here. president obama, and calls for jones. it charles barkley now. cory booker campaigning. obviously trying to get to the african-american vote. get to the polls. >> former president obama is now involved in this campaign as well, urging people to get to the polls tomorrow night. and the truth is, we will not know what happens until they do. but this is a big test for republicans and a lot of ways. if roy moore wins, will...

Not vote for roy moore. the state of alabama deserves better. >> bret: >> yes, and as a stauna conservative as they come, and it occurred to me thats the question would be how many richard shelbys finger lakes are are there in alabama? not necessarily go there with roy moore. there are a lot of them. but that may help him too. >> bret: there have been a lot of questions about this, how will republicans deal with that, how it is affecting 20 to and potentially, but what if you play it out the oth...

Help me steer this country back on track after eight years of the obama disaster. get out and vote for roy moore! his vote is our republican senate and its needed. we need roy to help us with the republican senate. we will win and we will make america great again. >> in contrast, the senior senator in alabama, richard shelby, he said he did a write-in candidate, he couldnt vote for roy moore. so what kind of problems, potentially, could a moore victory result in for republicans? >> well, clearly...

Will never vote for doug jones. >> to me the big thing about this race is politics really matter, we care about politics, but there are things that matter more, the fate of your soul, the quality of your faith, and are those things less important than politics? were seeing, yes, politics is more important than your faith and your morals. >> the votes for roy moore are more important than the allegations against him, according to some people. they say we dont know whats going to happen in this ra...

Shelby planned this. richard shelby didnt just figure out he doesnt want roy moore as a colleague. he waited until he thought this state would be the most effective and represents the fact you have senators. thank goodness in the republican party. there is two ways to hold elected officials accountable. vote them out or the rest of the party can say i dont want you here. they can say were not part of what youre doing here and im glad to hear republicans, those that could be in red states can mak...

Vote for him. this is about president trumps agenda. it has nothing to do in his mind with roy moore with any of the sexual improties that are alleged against him. he wants that republican vote in the senate to help him further his agenda which hes had so much trouble getting through in the past year. that is really where we are two days out. >> interestingly enough. it doesnt make the case for alabamians themselves to have roy moore. charlie, how big of a problem you think would it be for roy m...

The democrats would take this seat. unfortunately, mr. jones is no -- is not out of step at all with pelosi and schumer. and there is an enemy, and those are the enemies. in terms of politics again. but he has not distinguished himself as an alabaman. hes been more of a national democrat, which is not good politics down there. >> and anderson, i think if moore wins, republicans might rue the day here, because he is now their hood ornament, and democrats can certainly use that against them. and a...
