While Quid Pro Joe was wiping the floor with The Commie, Bernie Sanders on Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump pounded what could be the final nail in the coffin of the political career of Jeff Sessions.
As the results from the Democrat primaries were rolling in, showing Biden will now assume a commanding position in the race for that party’s nomination, the President stole some of the limelight by issuing a tweet endorsing not his former worthless Attorney General, but former college football coach Tommy Tuberville in the GOP senate runoff election in Alabama.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville) is running for the U.S. Senate from the Great State of Alabama. Tommy was a terrific head football coach at Auburn University. He is a REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our Country, down! Tommy will protect your Second Amendment....

Coming the wake of two new polls showing Tuberville holding leads of 6% and 12% in the race, this move by a President who is highly popular in Alabama may well seal the deal for Tuberville. The winner of the runoff will challenge incumbent Democrat Doug Jones, who won a narrow victory for the seat formerly held by Sessions in 2018 when GOP voters nominated the very flawed and odd Roy Moore.
Sessions, of course, left the seat in 2017 to serve as Trump’s first Attorney General, a role in which he was a miserable failure. His early decision to recuse himself from overseeing any investigations related to Russia for the completely invalid reason that he, as a senator, once met with the Russian Ambassador to the U.S., left the deep state skunk Rod Rosenstein free to appoint Robert Mueller and generally run amuck for the first two years of the Trump presidency.
Trump has repeatedly stated that, had Sessions had the personal integrity to inform him that he planned to recuse, he would have never been the nominee, and has never forgiven Sessions for this act of political mendacity. In an interview last summer, he called the appointment of Session the “biggest mistake” of his entire presidency.
Throughout his campaign to reclaim his old senate seat, Sessions has portrayed himself as a Trump loyalist, making constant attempts to ingratiate and associate himself with the President. The President has consistently rebuffed those efforts, culminating in his endorsement last night of Tuberville.
Now that Trump has formally shunned him, Sessions is likely to become a cause du jour by the same corrupt news media that once smeared him as an actual agent of Russia. Because that’s what our fake news media does. Receiving sympathetic coverage from CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times will, of course, only serve to further diminish Sessions’ shot at winning the votes of Alabama Republicans, who almost universally detest those corrupt news outlets.
Sessions was a fine senator and would no doubt be able to become a fine senator once again were he to regain his seat. But his abject refusal to do his damn job, to spend two solid years studiously looking the other way as the deep state mounted an outright coup d’etat attempt on American soil, destroyed any good will many Republican voters ever possessed for him.
The Alabama runoff election takes place on March 31, so Sessions still has some time to recover. But, his lagging polling numbers and Trump’s decision to overtly endorse Tuberville means he has a very steep hill to climb.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
That is all.
Sessions was well deserving of a terminated career.
With 100% Reporting in Missouri, @realDonaldTrump (299K) received over FOUR TIMES the number of votes President Obama (64K) received in 2012, and over DOUBLE the number of votes President Bush (117K) received in 2004.
The enthusiasm is with Trump!— Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) March 11, 2020
Send him back to his hollow tree.
It was this, not Trump's tweet, that ended Sessions.
There is no way any thinking Trump supporter could vote for Sessions. Sessions MIGHT have good intentions but human nature makes him a probable back stabber. I wish him luck in his retired years.
I still think Sessions was the “insurance Policy” which is Still Classified!!!
Yep
But . . . but . . . Q said Sessions was part of the “Plan.”
HOORAY Chief
This is important, but I’d like to see Trump’s primary votes beating the combined D vote in these states.
But...um...
Never mind.
Yes.
But that didn’t happen in Missouri. Having said that, the GOP race was not a competitive race. It makes more sense to compare with previous GOP or Dem primaries when they had an incumbent president.
Sessions obviously dropped the ball on the Russia investigation, but Tuberville is reputed to be an open borders guy, based on the people he hires. Whereas Sessions has been solid on immigration for decades. You wouldn’t want Sessions near the AG slot again. But senator is a role he discharged for decades with distinction. Tuberville hasn’t even won an elected office yet, so any skeletons he’s got rattling in his closet are probably still hidden. Whereas Sessions is an open book. I’m surprised Trump is putting his thumb on the scale. If Tuberville crashes out due to scandal after winning the primary, Doug Jones could end up serving a full term.
Sessions should have refused rather than recused when offered the AG post.
Or he could have told the “ethics” lawyers at the DOJ to go f*ck themselves.
Yes...always thought someone was holding something over Sessions as a reason for his (in)actions. I learned the hard way that when people act in a strange manner it’s because they’re hiding something!
You clowns are wrong on Sessions.
Did he ever go on CNN or write a tell-all book blasting Trump?
NO!
He was loyal to the end, and this is the thanks he get from POTUS?
Sessions is going to prove everyone wrong.
I still think Sessions was the “insurance Policy” which is Still Classified!!!
***************
And where are the damn declassified FISA docs that Trump said he would release ONE YEAR AGO????
Sessions was in the senate for decades and never did anything noteworthy, or otherwise, and then he took the AG job figuring it would be his crowning achievement, but proceeded to do exactly what he had done in the senate - NOTHING, so he deserves termination.
