re: Tuberville and Veterans

quote:

---

Tuberville has the money and the brand to be a great governor

I don’t disagree at all. It’s a big reason why he wants to be Gov. He’s more comfortable doing ribbon cuttings and being the big fish in the small pond guy rather than have a life time Senate seat where he’s 1 of 100.

Katie Britt should have run.

Richard Shelby's minion? No thanks

quote:

Alabama is secretly an establishment state.

I don't know if I buy that at all.

It doesn't seem to be any kind of a secret to me.

Hope he does.

You may as well hope for Hillary Clinton to stop lying.

One more thing:

Every time Tuberville puts out a campaign ad showing himself holding a football or tossing it up and down, he's basically reveling in how stupid the Republican voters in Alabama are

---

The same can be said when politicians pose with guns. At least Tubbs has a long history of employment in football. Nothing is more cringey than a dork like Massie or Walz posing with a weapon for a campaign piece.

I can't accurately gage Alabama voting patterns, but it would seem any competent caddidate-- even Doug Jones, the former Senator, is a better option than Tubs


Very wrong.

---

I wouldn't vote for Jones.

But Governor is a much different job than Senator. And sometimes voters take that into account.

Exhibit A: Phil Bredesen.

Bredesen, a Democrat, was a popular two term mayor of Nashville. Helped bring the Titans to Nashville and getting Nissan Stadium. Yeah, Nashville is more liberal than the rest of the state. But then he became a popular two-term governor. When he was reelected in 2006, he won all 95 counties in the general election and defeated his Republican opponent by more than a 2 to 1 margin. You don't do that statewide in Tennessee without a lot of Republican votes.

So why couldn't he get elected to the Senate? It's a different job, and moderate and conservative voters in Tennessee understood that. Governors don't confirm Supreme Court justices and other judges, or get involved in foreign policy, or immigration legislation.

That doesn't at all mean that I'd vote for Doug Jones. Not at all.

But I'd vote for Phil Bredesen for governor if he was running against Tubberville.

Speaking of employment, my lasting memory of him coaching football is him telling a heckling fan to get a job.

Tuberville is going to win handily but he can probably win by sleepwalking

---

That seems the likely outcome.

Once he secures the governor's mansion, maybe he will move back to Alabama.

quote:

I’d take Tuberville over Jeff Landry.

100%

Tubbs was one of the only honest people on the hill.

quote:

---

Tommy Tuberville pledged he would donate his personal Senate salary to veterans. He has not fulfilled that pledge.

Well shucks mister theres no possible way we can vote for someone whos lied before!! We have to do something! Thank god you're warning people!

quote:

---

You’re fine voting for morally corrupt people as long as they are on your side. I would prefer to see better options.

Lmao. Yea buddy you've never told a lie before or promised something that wound up being unfeasible. So much better than all of us.

Dumbass.
