Roy Moore's loss in the Senate election in Alabama came as a surprise to many. It means that Republicans will have an even smaller margin of error when it comes to passing legislation. But, in the long run, how will this impact the GOP? John Iadarola, Host at The Young Turks, and Nick Givas, Media Reporter at The Daily Caller, debate whether Moore's loss is a good or bad thing for the Republican party. Roy Moore was one of the candidates nationwide who received the strong backing of Steve Bannon and, eventually, President Trump. The round table debates whether President Trump will avoid coming out in support of future Bannon-backed candidates. Iadarola and Givas both agree that it's not likely. The Russia investigation has been heating up in recent weeks. Many people wonder if President Trump will fire Robert Mueller and take him off the case, especially since Congress will be on recess for the holidays over the next few weeks. While he doesn't believe it will happen during the holidays, Iadarola says it's likely Mueller will be kicked to the curb eventually.
