What are you basing this on?
Bryne campaign knows the only reason he’s not a senator is due to Sessions going back on his word to Bradley to not run. Sessions announced one day before filing deadline.
Bryne + Trump + Tubbs will ensure Sessions is never back in senate.


Both home bases of Sessions and Byrne is Mobile. Byrne won Mobile.
The vast majority of the Byrne voters' 2nd choice will be Sessions. They are both known quantities and hometown boys.

Mobile will overwhelm Tubberville. Tubberville won't even dispute Mobile.

Based on what? If Trump ends up coming out for Tubs it's over. Sessions is a career politician and should be gone.

This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!


You were saying?

Hometown politics always trumps national politics.

Mobile will go for Sessions and tip it in his favor.

Alabama is Trump Ground Zero.

I think you underestimate the influence Trump has in that state.

He backed Luther Strange and then Roy Moore. I don't think his endorsement carries the weight he and his base assume it does.

Trump breaks bad in tweets about half the folks in his own party from time to time. When he comes out and endorses Tuberville, let me know.

I would normally agree, but not only does the President not have a great history of endorsing candidates in Alabama, he doesn't have a great history for this particular seat.

Jeff has a 30 year history of holding different statewide offices in Alabama.

Tubberville is simply an unknown quantity.
Not that it will matter in the GE, but could you imagine Jones, a former US attorney, in a debate with Tubberville?
It wouldn't be pretty, and Jones won once before.

Just don't think there's a lot of depth to Tuberville. Not calling him stupid, but he's not exactly going to be a policy wonk.

You want me to pull up the stuff he's tweeted about McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, and even VP Pence?
It was simply one of his many daily tweets. I didn't say He and Sessions BFFs, just that he was gonna lay off the guy during the elections. You and I BOTH know that if he wanted to really tank Sessions, he's simply endorse Tuberville.

No Roy Moore. That means Doug Jones is toast.

No, I just want you to stand by your words. "ANYTHING" has meaning, and saying "He won't" has meaning.

I don't care about Tubbs or Sessions. I just think it's funny when people talk in absolutes and then spin when proven different. You're funny.

Have you guys really thought about the fact that you're pulling for Tommy Tuberville to be elected to the U.S. Senate?


Yeah 0 I know nothing about his political savvy or leaning.

Need to make sure we get the DEM outta there.
