President Trump reminded voters Saturday morning he’d like to block a return to Washington for his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“Big Senate Race in Alabama on Tuesday,” Mr. Trumptweeted, while urging voters to back former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in the July 14 primary. “Jeff Sessions is a disaster who has let us all down. We don’t want him back in Washington!”
The winner of Alabama’s GOP primary runoff will face Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in November. Mr. Jones rode a torrent of out-of-state money and scandals engulfing his GOP opponent to win a special election in 2017, and while he remains flush with cash he is considered the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent by most political analysts.
Mr. Sessions, whom all polls show trailing Mr. Tuberville, has sought to define the latter with unproven record, warning GOP primary voters of happened three years ago when former state supreme court justice Roy Moore was buried under allegations of sexual misconduct with a young woman decades ago.
Attacks against the frontrunner, Mr. Tuberville, have escalated in the campaign’s final weeks, with stories resurfacing about his light disciplinary touch with talented players at Auburn, and the extent of his involvement in a sketchy investment fund that went south and led to a fraud conviction against his former partner in the enterprise.
But limping into the runoff after a second place finish, Mr. Sessions has had to labor under Mr. Trump’s endorsement of Mr. Tuberville, and the president’s myriad reminders that Mr. Sessions almost immediately recused himself in the so-called Russian collusion investigation, leaving Mr. Trump vulnerable his first two years in office to bogus charges his campaign was in cahoots with the Kremlin.

Well, I think Jeff misjudged the evil of the Deep State, but I also think that his heart is in the right place, and I hope that he has learned his lesson.
If he wins, I certainly hope he and the President can patch things up, and if doesn’t win, I will whole-heartedly support Tommy.
Right or wrong though, I have thoughtfully and prayerfully considered this for a long time and have made up my mind.
Glad to be a new Alabamian. I’m kind of surprised that I am going to vote for the first Senator to endorse President Trump. Tuberville is a boot-licking embarrassment!
Wow. Thanks so much for sharing with me your opinion. I hope it made you as thrilled to send it as I was to get it!
Have a great day.
Sessions has no balls. He might have had them at one time, but he let them go.
This clown proves the Peter Principle.
“The bad blood could even turn Sessions into a never-Trumper on important Senate votes.”
He has been a never-Trumper since he refused to resign as AG. Sessions was compromised as AG by the deep state. Sessions gave us Huber, who did nothing in 3 years investigating.
Sure Sessions was a good Senator but he got rolled when he hit the big time.
What does that mean?
No need for me to point out what’s obvious.
You do a fine job of it all on your own.

Thanks, Leni.
I pray Jeff loses, goes home, and is never heard from again.
God knows, we didn’t hear from him when he was A.G.
F Jeff.
Trust the guy who has proven that he can’t be trusted over the guy you don’t know about. Great idea.
She should have been more careful before going out with that guy.
Oh, I know enough about Tommy. Tell you what. If you live in Alabama, go cancel my vote. If not, your opinion doesn’t really matter, does it. Don’t you have a few races of your own?
I have said from the beginning that if the immigration laws are not strictly enforced the wall won't matter. We committed the people suicide when the we put Pelosie back in charge of the House.
I hope I live long enough to see us recover but I have grave doubts because the election fraud has reached new levels and the GOPe seem oblivious to the fact that it is happening.
Stop acting like my wife and just tell me what you want.
I did for a while, but it has gone away. Don’t know what happened to it. I think it may have been the Microsoft spell checker that checks everything you type on the web. It works everywhere else, but not here.
I recall seeing Sessions being all chummy with Rosenweasel at a eatery.
patriot? Have you been asleep longer than Sessions was as AG? He single handedly ruined Trumps presidency and hurt our country in the process with the fake Russian hoax that he allowed by recusing himself and started the Mueller BS. How could you ever trust this fool ever again? He should be charged as being part of the coup and we still have people like you that will support this scumbag?
You’re entitled to your opinion, but I’ve got a vote. You might even be right, but I’ve got to do the right thing, as I see it.
But, hey. Relax. The polls show Tommy ahead.
I just can’t understand someone like yourself that lives in Alabama, would vote for a traitor like Sessions. I don’t care who was running as a D in November, if I’m a resident there, if it is a Dem versus Sessions, I vote DEM.
Well, I think he made a mistake, but that doesn’t make him a traitor. Being soft on immigration, now?
