Did you follow the 2016 GOP primary? If you’ve already proven yourself to be a spineless twat (and admittedly the twat part may not be fair to Sessions), a lot of folks will gamble on a complete wildcard. That’s how disgusted the average person is with DC in general and career politicians in particular.
Understood. And I'm not a big fan of Sessions, don't take my questions/comments wrong. But for whatever reason, Tubberville creeps me out.

Alabama voters shouldn't give a shite about what he did as AG
That's ridiculous.
The FBI and parts of the DOJ were running wild under Sessions. At best, he was just incompetent. At worst, he allowed it to take down Trump.
He can't be trusted.

Jeff Sessions was uniquely positioned in a very high-responsibility position of LEADERSHIP and when the battle was joined and the firefight got really hot, Jeff Sessions ran away from the fight. His duty called him to face the enemy and FIGHT, but, he showed his heels and ran away instead.
THAT is why many Alabamians find him disgusting.

Jeff Sessions is a perfect example of the Peter principle at work.. as poor as he was as attorney-general, he was just as great as a Senator.. he was the first major politician to jump on the Trump train and was perhaps the most conservative of all Republican senators

He's like Lindsey Graham. Big talk. AWOL when it matters.

I won’t disagree that Sessions was a good Senator. However, if you’ve been living under a rock for 3 years, President Trump is bigger than the fricking GOP. Look at his approval ratings under R voters. Look at the polls (yeah, I know) were the enthusiasm level is much higher for him than four years ago.
This is his party and the voters expect some loyalty. At the current moment, why would I trust the GOP anyways? They’re bending knees at the federal and state levels for BLM. I don’t know how Tubs will do. He’s not gonna be my Senator, but I’ve said this before once. It’s not like we’re asking Tubs to do non linear equations. Show up and vote for the Presidents agenda.
If Sessions somehow overcomes the odds, well he gets a chance to redeem himself. If not, we all know why. So far three Republican house members have been primaried. It’s not because they’re awful, disgusting people. It’s cause people are tired of the same old bullshite.

I wonder the same. Sessions was as solid a Senate leader as you could want. The big Corp. establishment money hated him. Now they’ve lined up behind Tubs who isn’t really even campaigning on anything at all. If Alabama elects Tuberville, they’ll regret it...but then he’ll be fixed in place for far longer than Sessions would have left.

Jeff Sessions is the safest candidate to beat Jones. A lot of people don’t particularly like Tommy and if Doug Jones will cut out the pathetic “George Floyd was crying for his mama” commercial, incumbency means a lot in Alabama. And that would win him a lot of votes from the GOP who dislike Tubs. Richard Shelby has been a senator since Reagan was president and Wallace was governor. Jeff was a senator for what 20 years? You can’t question that he isn’t a conservative. Tuberville isn’t a damn hard core conservative. I don’t like sessions, but he was MAGA before MAGA was mainstream. Trump’s treatment of Sessions is one thing I truly don’t understand. Hell Jeff was committing human rights violations with a smile on the border all to protect our country and fulfill the Trump mandate. TLDR Jones can defeat Tubs but would not defeat Sessions.

Sessions sucks but he was a reliable Senator who will be able to retain some Seniority for Alabama once Shelby retires. That in of itself is enough reason to vote for him over Tuberville.
Tuberville is a snake. He was always a huckster as a head coach and then got involved in some shady stuff in his retirement. He doesn’t know shite about how to be a good working Senator and would just be a puppet for his handlers. The people running his campaign in Alabama are some of the same tired swampy douchebags that I’ve seen try to latch on candidates before. The way Tuberville ran his campaign should be an insult to any voter in Alabama.
This isn’t a tough decision.

quote:He did worse than nothing. He recused and allowed his 2nd in command to assume duties to which he was far more conflicted than Sessions. If Sessions believed there was ANY chance of being forced to recuse from the RussiaRussiaRussia investigations, he should NEVER have assumed the role of AG in the first place.
its because he didn't do shite as US attorney General.
Once he decided he would not participate in the Russia investigation, instead of recusing, Sessions should have resigned. He didn't. He claims to have offered to resign. However, he simultaneously got his old Senate buddies to tell Trump if he accepted Sessions resignation, there would be hell to pay getting another nomination through.
Sessions got a second chance to do the right thing for the GOP and his POTUS in 2017 when Roy Moore decided to run for Senate. Sessions should have resigned at that poin,t and run again for the Senate. He didn't. Trump allies suggested it. So once again Sessions got his old colleagues to threaten the nomination process if he was forced out. That pressure persisted until after the mid-term elections which cost the GOP the HOR.
Even as bad as Jenet Reno was, Sessions' recusal was the biggest US AG blunder since John Mitchell's Watergate dealings.

Jones is smart and well funded. He has a very devoted, loyal and hardworking base of supporters. This election will not be a cakewalk for whoever receives the Republican nomination.
Jones supporters would rather face Tuberville than Sessions in November. Why is that? Because the path to victory against Tubs is easier than against Sessions.
Alabamians should consider Sessions body of work rather than his perceived failings as US Atty General. Also, Sessions hasn't jumped on the RINO Trump-bashing train like so many others who served in Trump's administration, but were replaced or resigned.
If you want Doug out vote for Jeff in the primary.

Sessions would be OK if he had stepped in when Mueller appointed over a dozen highly partisan progressives to the team to investigate Trump
at that point, Jeff had all he needed to step in and demand a more balanced team
I agree with the sentiment and the desire = but I must admit that the rules for recusal seem to prevent that from being possible. Once 'recused' - how do you "unrecuse?"
Now the original recusal is sketchy, but I have to admit that he was a member of the Trump campaign and we would have cried holy hell if the roles were reversed = problem is that the other side would not have cared and done it anyway.
don't know how to combat that problem = certainly don't want that approach to equal justice to become the 'new normal' - I am more upset that the succeeding AGs did not step in and call a halt to the obvious travesty going on - - > Rosenstein

he should have stepped in and appointed an independent team t6o review who Mueller empowered and forced balance into the investigation
he should have spoken out and stopped that, as it was BLATANT
he did not have to get personally involved; but he could have put someone in place that had the authority to demand a fair process; Mueller proved that he was unwilling to be fair when he selected his team; Jeff had the authority and the absolute right to stop it
he failed and ran like a coward, and it will cost him at the polls

I'm amazed at a lot of people here are voting against Tubbs based on his record. 6 straight wins vs Alabama

I thought Sessions was the first big time Republican to endorse Trump, and at a time when Trump needed it.
yes, yes he was, and then as soon as he became AG he was 100% in on the russia hoax and the recused himself excuse was BS so he could sit back and do nothing as meuller tried to frame trump in a 2 year fraud investigation.
if you think sessions wasnt hoping to take trump out along with the dimrats you are deluding yourself

I just want new blood. Sessions chose to leave the Senate. He fricked up. Now he seemingly wants to walk back in his seat.
I think either candidate will do fine.
But I'll be voting Tubbs
