Craig Ford to run for Senate in Alabama as part of the Alliance Party against Democratic party candidate Terri Sewell and Republican party candidate Roy Moore. Arizona Senator Jeff Flake announces his endorsement of Ford




Wolf Blitzer: The Alliance Party announced their first Senate candidate and that is state Rerepsentive Craig Ford who has decided to run in the Alabama Senate Race against Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Terri Sewell. While they originally were not planning to run a candidate in Alabama, after very controversial Roy Moore defeated Luther Strange, they changed their mind. Here with us is former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on why they changed their minds

Bloomberg : Well the fact is that we originally didnt want to run a candidate because we didnt think Mr.Strange had any chance of being defeated but when Roy Moore won we changed our minds because the fact is we cant allow Roy Moore to be in the Senate as he basically believes our nation should be a theocracy.

Blitzer: Why not support Sewell then

Bloomberg: Polls in Alabama show here losing by over 17 points so for that reason Mr. Craig Ford came up to us and we decided to run a him as our candidate here. The fact is Ford is popular he can win votes form Independents, Conservative Democrats and Many Republicans as well so we think he can win.

Breaking News: Senate Candidate Roy Moore accused of sexually assaulting teenagers and other women in late 1970s. Circumstantial Evidence corroborating claim gets released against Moore as well. McConnell calls for Moore to drop out and announces that even if he wins he will immediately face ethics committee and possible expulsion from the senate   




Brooke Baldwin: Some other developments in the Roy Moore situation is that local authorities banned him from a mall due to the fact they were afraid of his interactions with women and also a local police officer came out and said that they were supposed to prevent Roy Moore from being around cheerleaders due to this worry as well.

Another piece of circumstantial evidence against him is this interview with Sean Hannity. He claims  in the interview he has generally didn't date teenagers whatever that means. In response to all this Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has said he believes the accusers and calls on Roy Moore to drop out of the race.

Alabama Senior Senator announces he will vote for Craig Ford as he says its unconscionable to allow Moore to become a Senator. Polls show race have showed Moore to only getting 38 % but still winning due to a split in anti-Moore vote.





Polls:


Roy Moore 38%
Craig Ford: 35%
Terri Sewell: 25%

McConnell and 36 other Senate Republicans announce they will join Flake and Shelby in supporting Ford . 11 others support writing someone in and 2 Republicans still have not withdrawn their endorsement of Ford .



Cooper: Today McConnell and 36 other Republicans have announced they will support Alliance Candidate Craig Ford in the Alabama Senate Race meaning that now 39/52 Republicans in Senate have officially endorsed Ford to become the next senator of the state of Alabama. 11 others have announced that they support writing Luther Strange in as the candidate and 2 Republicans: Tom Coburn from Oklahoma and Rand Paul from Kentucky still haven't withdrawn their endorsement of Moore.

Question to John King is will it be enough


King: Well the fact is at this point the Democrat candidate Congresswomen Sewell would be the spoiler if Moore wins so I am getting reports that she may drop out of the race tommorow to ensure Moore loses the race.

Democratic Candidate Terri Sewell announces that she will drop out of the race and endorse Craig Ford to ensure that Roy Moore gets defeated in the upcoming election. National and State Democratic Party also throw support behind Craig Ford as well.




Terri Sewell: Thank You Everyone. The Allegations which have come out against my opponent Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and 100% disqualifying. Roy Moore must not be allowed to win under any circumstance and for that reason, I have decided to drop out of the race and endorse State Representative Craig Ford . While I may have many disagreements with him , and while it pains me to drop out of the race , it would pain me, even more, to see someone like Roy Moore be elected due the vote between me and state Representative Ford be split. Thank You and I will continue looking forward to serving as your representative in Congress.


Anderson Cooper: So how does her dropping out shake up the race


John King: It shakes us the race a lot because our last poll of a two race between Mr.Ford and Mr.Moore show that Mr.Ford is up by 15 points .

Craig Ford defeats Roy Moore in a landslide, which gives the Alliance Party their first seat in the Senate




Wolf Blitzer: The polls have closed in Alabama and we can project that Craig Ford the Alliance Party candidate will be elected as the next senator of Alabama. The reason we can make the call already is due to these exit polls so lets go see them


John King: Here they are


Gender:

Male: 49% ; Ford 51% Moore 48%
Female: 51% ; Ford 63% Moore 36%

Race:

White: 67% ; Moore 59% Ford 40%
African American: 28%: Ford 96% Moore 4%

John King: We, unfortunately, don't have enough info to get exit polls results for Hispanic and Asian voters but looking at these numbers its very likely that Craig Ford got at least 80% of those voters as well.

Age:

18-29: 13% ; Ford 62% Moore 37%
30-44: 22% ; Ford 63% Moore 36%
45-64: 41% ; Ford 57% Moore 42%
65+: 23% ; Ford 51% Moore 48%

Parties:

Republicans: 44% ; Moore 77% Ford 22%
Democrats: 35% ; Ford 98% Moore 2%
Independent: 21% ; Ford 62% Moore 37%

John King: Looking at these exit poll results there is no way that Roy Moore can even come within single digits let alone have a chance of winning.




Final Results:

Craig Ford: 59%
Roy Moore: 40%


Anderson Cooper: So Mr.Ford actaully outperformed exit polls by nearly 2 points

Alliance Party divided on tax bill but call for spending cuts in next budget



Cooper: What is your part's beliefs on the tax bill

Bloomberg: Some of support it and some of oppose it and the fact is that is ok. The idea that everyone in a party needs to have the same beliefs on every issue is partly why our nation is so divided. If you remember during the Reagan administration many Democrats in the house worked with him and same thing with Republicans during the Clinton administration. What we all do agree on is that we need to cut government spending in the next budget though

Bernie Sanders endorses all the major Justice Democrats Candidates, saying its more than past time to fundamentally change the Democratic Party if we want to defeat the Republicans.




Sanders: Tonight I have decided to endorse all the major justice Democrats running as it is more than past time we fundamentally change the Democratic Party into actually representing the working class in our nation if we want to beat the Republicans. None of these candidates have taken any corporate money so the people they will represent is you not the corporations and if we want to beat Trump and the Republicans we must recreate the New Deal Coalition which united Working Class Voters all around the nation which allowed the Democratic Party to dominate politics for over 40 years. The way we can do that is by addressing the issues facing the working class such as Healthcare, Education , low and stagnant wages and if we do that we will defeat the Republican party just like how FDR did over and over in the 30s and 40s.


Polls shift in Favor of Justice Democrat candidates after Sanders's endorsement

Alliance Party Senator Craig Ford Releases Immigration Proposal

- Agree to Fund President's Trump Wall if DACA is not only restored but recipients of the program could be eligible for citizenship  

- Agree to a more merit-based immigration system as long as the overall quota does not change

Budget Deal is reached , but no agreement on immigration has been reached either

Wolf Blitzer: This means Democrats will not get to see DACA restored as they want, and Trump will not get his wall

Justice Democrats and Bannonite Republicans pull of first major win as Governor Rauner is defeated by Ives and Pritzker is Defeated by Biss



Wolf Blitzer: We have a major projection to make right now. We can project that Jeanne Ives has upset Governor Rauner to be the GOP nominee for Governor of Illinois while the Democrat Daniel Biss has upset JP Pritzker. This is a big win for the far right and far left .

John King: So for the next 5-6 months we are likely going to have a 3 way race and after that it will become a two way race and one of these 3 will collapse in the final stretch of the campaign.

After close calls in West Virginia, and Ohio , Major Political Earthquake hits California as Alison Hartson finishes in First Place in California Jungle Primary and Alliance Candidate Chad Mayes comes in Second ending longtime California Democratic Powerhouse Diane Feinstein's Political Career.






Wolf Blitzer: We Have A Major Projection Right Now, we can project that Alison Hartson and Chad Mayes will come in first and second in the California Jungle Primary Meaning that Senator Feinstein has officially been defeated

Gloria Borger: Wow Just wow, just a few months ago Feinstein seemed unbeatable then Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Mrs.Hartson which caused her poll numbers to skyrocket and she finished in First tonight. Also due to Former Governor Schwarzenegger endorsing him he was able to get a solid 23% of the vote which allowed him to finish ahead of Senator Feinstein's 22%.

John King : Yup here are the results:


1st: Alison Hartson 26%
2nd: Chad Mayes: 23%
3rd: Dianne Feinstein: 22%
4th: James Bradley: 8%
5th: Kevin De Leon 7%
Others: 14%


Wolf Blitzer: The question now is can Mayes win


John King: While he wont be the favorite yes he can. For 3 reasons 1. Since He wont have the Republican label he might be able to much better with the Hispanic Vote than a CA Republican does, 2. Hes moderate or even liberal on social and environmental issues while being fiscally conservative which could be popular in California and lastly 3. Mrs.Hartson could result in the Democratic Party doing the worst it has done in Southern California particularly Orange County, San Diego County and the San Bernadino Valley than it has done since 1994.
