For the last ten years....both Sessions and Shelby of Alabama...were fake GOP senators. The state apparatus has been built this way by lobbyists, and continues on today. Alabama hasn’t had a real GOP senator since the late 70s with Denton. That’s the sad truth.
“For the last ten years....both Sessions and Shelby of Alabama...were fake GOP senators.”
Agreed! And it seems that this situation prevails in that “Southern Tier” of states. That is MS, AL, and LA, where you have aging, intrenched Republicans that the GOPE “protects.” Yeah, they all have R’s after their names, but they do little or nothing to prosecute the Trump Agenda, and when they are “forced out into the open,” you get a “spineless leader” as is the case with Sessions. I guess, in a way, smoking out Sessions will end up being a good thing, because as soon as conditions will allow, Trump will cut him loose and he won’t be back in the Senate sleeping through his duties. Just wish these states could manage to elect some young blood, instead of going for “wierdos” like Roy Moore. Carrying a Bible doesn’t automatically make you an effective leader.
