joe? >> first of all, and i think a lot of other people have pointed it out, there's nothing politically correct about trying to stop what happened yesterday. i do find it fascinating, mike, that after a man shot hundreds of people in las vegas, we heard for weeks because this was going to be seen as a gun debate, that it was too soon to start talking about policy. now is not the day to talk about policy. now is not the week to talk about policy. now is not the month to talk about policy. once again, within minutes of an attack, anywhere on the globe, donald trump immediately starts talking policy. and he starts talking about his answers through policy. the sort of things that they tell us we can never talk about after hundreds and hundreds of people are shot in las vegas. and, of course, you see nothing happening, not even on the bump stock compromise that actually would have made a big difference out in las vegas, according to a lot of poem. that was something that the supposedly the nra

>> think about this, joe. that their best option at this point, just tactically, in terms of keeping this seat in the hands of republicans, would be, at this point, since they can't get him off the ballot for this man, roy moore, an accused sexual offender of minors, to come to the senate and for mitch mcconnell to have to unseat him. so i think they're extremely nervous right now. the best thing that would happen right now for the republican party would be if the state party would get on board with trying to push roy moore out. right now they're circling the wagons and they seem to be kind of bolstering around him, whereas here in congress, you have members of congress and mitch mcconnell very, very nervous because what roy moore has successfully done, and his wife who, as you see, in a way de facto taken over as being his spokesperson there, has convinced people that this is all just one big plot by the swamp and by mitch mcconnell to do the same thing that they tried to do to donald trump and that this is t
