republican party is today. you have a congressional seat vacated by a republican member of congress who left under disgrace for trying to compel his mistress having an abortion and that's trying to be saved by a president who just paid hush money to a born sta-- porn star. so what that means in this race it's going to be very tight. the one thing we learned is this, republicans who are upset with the president who don't want to turn out for the president, they do turn out for their party. i think that's where the republican candidate might have a chance tomorrow night is the turnout vote for the gop. >> to david's point, this is supposed to be -- i don't know what you call it a morally cleansing election p given that the vacancy occurred out of this scandal involving the republican who held the seat and the abortion for his mistress, all that stuff.
