Jeff Sessions is a real conservative and he has nothing to do with Cruz.
Yes, well, Sessions is not running for president. But he is a conservative, I will agree. He is also a pretty smart guy. He figures Trump is going to be the winner, and he is probably right. So, he angles for a position of influence with Trump by giving him (relatively) early support. Well, I hope he can influence him, because Trump will need to be influenced by conservatives and educated by them, since he is NOT a conservative. Or, if he is, he has only recently become one, because he does not know how to talk the talk, which is, of course, what makes me doubt that he will walk the walk.
Call me a skeptic.
