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

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.

Finally some good news. Give Sessions the gold watch and retire already.

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


It was indeed. Trump endored Tuberville long ago and the primary was close. The run off is a blow out precisely because the GOP base is infuriated with the GOP establishment right now over the ongoing coup and BLM coddling in particular.

Hate when both candidates are not up to par.....but we’ll soon see how Tuberville does...Trump didn’t exactly get excited about the man...Hopefully the Anti-Trump Republicans won’t strong arm him into their corner.

Sessions spent 20 years in the Senate before he was AG. That’s plenty of time for a feckless old dope to spend in Washington. I’m not even sold on Tuberville, but good riddance to this guy.

I have to say, the coach’s wife is quite attractive.

I don’t hold a brief for Sessions but Tuberville does not appear a strong pick.


Sessions “appeared a strong pick” for AG. Then what happened? Democrats ran the “Trump” DOJ for over 2 years. All is not as it seems in politics.

“How do you know it is gaslighting?”

Because people are doing their own ego thing and making crap up. That includes Bannon and his boys at Breitbart.

President Trump will get the support in the US Senate from Tommy Tuberville.
That’s all that matters.

And then tehy’ll blame all of us for it

Can I ask you where you've been over the past three years when Jeff Sessions allowed the Deep State to control the DOJ frame Donald Trump?

What are the Q followers thinking?

Remember they would say over and over “Trust Sessions”.

Well President Trump has trashed him on Twitter, and now Sessions has lost an election.

This is an ugly race up until Nov.

Tuberville is running on the Trump agenda. Jones is running against the Trump agenda.

Geez, how "ugly".
