"SNIP......

Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL), who is running to unseat Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) in November, released a new attack ad against fellow GOP primary contender and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, The Hill reports.

“In the new 30-second ad, Bryne criticizes Sessions for being forced by President Trump to resign as attorney general. The video also appeared to reference a common refrain, ‘lock her up,’ to dig at Sessions’ job while serving as attorney general, that was chanted about former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during Trump campaign events in 2016.”

From the ad: “Hillary still ain’t in jail.”

in the GE. If they follow the news as closely as this candidate, who thinks little of them, thinks, then how are Lefties going to get to them with the news something called the 'New Deal' is going to be fully destroyed by Trump?

or not Alabama votes for the Democratic candidate in the electoral college, a Bernie movement would take place from one state to the next and online. Community is more than your geographical location these days. What happens if Bernie yells just loud and often enough that Trump will undo the new deal and the idea takes flight in Trump's base? What happens if Bloomberg floods facebook and it helps?

There is no way Trump doesn't demolish in Alabama, bookmark it. I'd love to be wrong, but they don't even like Doug Jones, a fantastic and qualified US Senator.

political votes as a disease. Alabama and the south have herd immunity to democrats. Right now so many are innoculated against democrats. What happens is if bernie is right and he gets through. Alabama would be part of that change and it would result in better electoral college votes for democrats in the north or say Georgia. But if alabama retains its hate of all things democrat then it stops the spread in the north or Georgia a bit as people are talking to each other from anywhere these days. And acting as a group. Trump knows that. Democrats should too.
