Alabama voters need to remember that Shelby is an old Democrat who switched in the swing away from Dems in the 90s. And he is 88. There are sharp 88 year olds but I haven’t seen any capable of operating well enough to keep the high pace in DC. Look at Shelby’s staff. All staffers for many of these old people are the power. If you have a weak/liberal staff, they tell you what you need to do. Just my opinion.
I think you are spot on with that!
