Martha Roby should not be considered... she's a RINO who did not vote for Trump.

I haven't heard much about Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange or State Senators Pittman and Ward, but I believe they are all probably solid conservatives.

I would personally like to see Rep. Mo Brooks of Huntsville get the appointment, but Governor Bentley is also a RINO who endorsed Kasich in the primaries and who said he would not vote for Trump in the election.

I expect he will appoint a milquetoast Republican to the seat; however, a special election must be held to fill the seat within 60 days of the vacancy.

Very good to know that Alabama requires a pretty quick special election to fill a vacant US Senate seat!

Looks like a good chance to make it a referendum on RINOs.

Did not know that about Roby. I agree about Brooks. I think he is the best option. Either he or Palmer would be best, but Palmer is new to the House. He ran the API prior to that.
