Joining us with a deeper look is National Political reporter for bloomberg news. Good morning. Good morning. Lets start with the item of legislation taking a lot of discussion, senate tax bill, tax reform in general. It . The senate going to pass is . Theres a decent chance it passes out of the senate. Desperation like republicans like ive never seen, not ll. Ealed the Affordable Care act, not built the wall, not done an infrastructure package. Mplishme go home for christmas with no accomplishments. Theou think theyll do it there the end of the year . Theyre so seger to do it before the end of the year because they want to complete it with sought accomplishment. It has to pass the senator the or aree has to take it as it is or they go to conference. What are the impediments. Number one is the mixing of Health Care Politics with taxes. They tried to mash the aca earlier this year and did not work out. Year. Have awakened a Sleeping Giant of the progressive base of the Health Care Industry with doctors and health care. The second is tissue of the the deficit. Ublican trillion and a half in red ink and republican deficit ab hawks concerned about that. Senatoird is an issue that senator ron johnson has raised. Nes the one republican that has come out definitively against this package as it is. He worries it benefits large corporations too much at the expense of smaller businesses. Senator Susan Collins says shes worried about the bill because whatever tax savings middle income families might see, they may be wiped out collins and murkowski passed two pivot votes to prevent repeal of the Affordable Care act. They both sounded concerns about that. Collins told me plainly it is a mistake to mix these two issues, voted n third senator, john mccain who voted against Obamacare Repeal seems a little more open minded to the repeal of the mandate. Lets turn to alabamas special Senate Election coming up quickly in early december. We heard from the story a short time ago that clearly there are oements of the Republican Party in alabama who do not want things to change. Theyre backing roy moore. What is the Republican Leadership in washington saying the each other right now . This is a devastating nowin situation for republicans. They either win that seat and invite an alleged child molester into their ranks, or they lose that seat which should be a aamdunk seat in a rubyred seat that republicans won by literally 97 in 2014. Consideconsidering all options that. Y to save that. They talked about a current ritein candidate, the current ccumbent suggested hes not interested in that. Theres been some chatter about potentially delaying the election. Magine the political precedent es. T will set. She governor has ruled that out. To looks like theyre stuck ppen. Now. If roy moore ends up winning it this election, what can Mitch Mcconnell do . Mn he prevent him from entering the senate . The law says they cannot prevent him from entering the enteringut they can expel him. The last time this happened was after the civil war. Nce ten a long time. Be been a long time. It would be an extraordinary thing to do and there would be obviously blowback from the fr whop base which still on the ore, tf roy moore, the nativist ise of the party which continues to support him. To a tricky proposition. Losee way, if they lose this seat, their already slim margin in the senate of two votes is g toin half. Imperils Everything Else theyre trying to do. Drks have their own issues with the accusations against al ranken. Hes owned up to these. How damaging is this to franken and what do the democrats do about this . Do as very damaging. His initial response was a little casual and dismissive about this. Hes vently put out a statement apologizing and taking bu responsibility, promising to cooperate with the ethics investigation in the senate. We are at a real Inflection Point when it comes to issues of Sexual Harassment and assault. Levels oseen men at the highest polit of news and entertainment and politics accused of Sexual Misconduct going back decades and decades. I thin hethink whether it was the election of President Trump who had his own accusers coming eorward or Something Else that precipitated this, there are a lot of o women coming forward saying enough is enough.
