Tuberville Beats Sessions, Wins Alabama Senate GOP Primary
fox43.com ^ | July 14, 2020

Posted on 07/14/2020 7:00:17 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions lost the Republican nomination for his old Senate seat in Alabama to former college football coach Tommy Tuberville, likely ending a long political career with a bitter defeat egged on by President Donald Trump.

Tuberville, 65, beat Sessions in Tuesday’s Republican runoff as Sessions fell short in his attempted comeback for a seat he held for two decades before resigning to become Trump’s attorney general in 2017.

Familiar to Alabamians from his decade as Auburn University’s head football coach, Tuberville is now positioned for a strong challenge against Democratic U.S. Sen. Doug Jones. With Alabama’s strong GOP tilt, the seat is widely viewed as Republicans’ best chance for a pickup as they try to maintain their thin Senate majority amid Trump’s lagging popularity nationally.

Don’t bet the house on it.

That’s assuming he wins. He was the opponent Jones wanted.


Who cares who Jones wanted? Heck he could have said Tuberville so we would pick Sessions who could be easy to beat because of his disastrous record as AG.

Take whatever Jones says with a grain of salt.

“ Session coulda shoulda woulda done a good job for Trump.”

He couldn’t do a good job. He was a U.S. Senator. No more incompetent, corrupt and just plain stupid type of human has ever existed than a U.S. Senator. None of them has ever done a day’s work in their entire life.

Moral of the story is if you need work done and accomplishments achieved, do not choose a U.S. Senator for the job.

At least Jeff won’t have to recuse himself now.

His lack of loyalty and his dishonesty and cowardice cost us years of the Trump presidency.

Guess only but I suspect President Trump had others that he could
call on in which he trusted more. Trump wasn’t a political entity.
So she had no links to him for any reason. Thus he had no links
back to her for any political help.

With Sessions it’s never been certain whether he was disloyal or not, but ignoramus is a sure thing. Anti-Trumpers wanted Sessions back in the Senate just to bedevil Trump.

......”This was not so much a vote for Tuberville as a vote against Sessions”.....

I think even Sessions knows that.

Tuberville is a RINO, but the voters were punishing Sessions for being a turncoat coward.
