The first time I heard of Bright was when he defeated Mayor Folmar, so I didn’t have a good opinion of him at the time. I thought he was going to play the role David Vann did in Birmingham in the ‘70s when he defeated the last GOP Mayor, playing the squish-lib White panderer before handing off the office to a long string of corrupt Communist Blacks. I’m amazed given Montgomery’s demographics now that Mayor Strange can hold on.
Anyway, as I mentioned in a prior post, had Bright ran as a Republican back in 2008, he would not have likely prevailed in the primary. It was only the sour grapes of Harri-Anne Smith that allowed Bright to beat Jay Love. Presumably Love would’ve been a better Congressman than either Bright or Roby.
I wouldn’t be enthused about a choice between either Roby or Bright. As you pointed out, it’s not the first time Trump chose a, subpar, nominee to support. Voting for Pelosi seemed to trump siding with the Never Trumpers after that non-issue with “grabbing pussy” as a more grievous offense to him.
I’m not here to lobby you one way or the other, all I can say is you have to vote your conscience. Hey, I’d probably write in Jay Love or Terry Everett. ;-)
My first Alabama campaign was for Fob James...
Well, think about where we all were ten years ago. I voted for Love (who wouldn’t? ;->) and also McCain. Wish I had that one back.
In all the years I’ve been here I’ve been for one thing and then regretted it later, but that’s probably most of us.
George W. Bush.
The Invasion of Iraq.
McCain. But of course, Sarah. But then her family took her down.
The TEA Party.
Believing the Republicans that if they could JUST win back the House...
Mitt Romney.
Believing the Republicans if they could JUST win back the Senate...
Jeff Sessions.
Donald J. Trump.
So far, Trump has been the best by a mile.
Still, we all supported some idiots or idiotic decisions at one point or another.
Time will continue to tell.
