1. Ha!

2. Both are likely quacks. Which is better?

[maxsolomon]

4. Sessions is a known quantity.

Tuberville is going to be another Tea Party fool, basically wasting everyone's time a la Mike Lee and Tom Cotton.

Does Doug Jones have any shot at retaining this seat?

7. Would be pretty hard. Not impossible but close.

The biggest reason he won in 2017 was because there was no Republican at the top of the ticket to draw in voters who didn’t like Roy Moore. With Trump leading the ticket, there will be a lot of voters that didn’t vote in 2017 that will go to the polls and hit straight Republican.

10. Lets see a Democrat vs. an Auburn Football coach.

Nope, he doesn't have a chance in that state. We got that seat because the alternative was a total nut job who liked little girls. This will be totally different.

18. Maybe Tuberville likes little boys.

Until today I never knew that name.

20. Auburn ran his sorry ass off in 2008.

He went to Texas Tech then later Cincinnati and screwed up those programs. While at those two schools he was running a crooked investment scam that almost landed in him in federal prison. His business partner is serving 10 years.

11. The only reason Jones squeaked by

is because the Republicans ran that loathsome piece of shit Roy Moore. Lots of Republican voters stayed home, rather than vote for that disgusting creature. That's not likely to happen this time around.

16. it's like picking the better Menendez brother

yes INDEED

[ProfessorGAC]

3. 325-159 Now

More than 2:1.
I heard turnout was low, but can't be that low!!!
But, anything to push Sessions into obscurity is fine by me.

5. Sessions & McConnell, Cotton, Gym Jordan, Gaetz, Cornyn...

Clean house. There's so many Repub crooks & this is the year to do it.

6. Is this good news or bad?

If Trump has repudiated Sessions, doesn't that mean voters prefer the Trump-endorsed candidate because they still love Trump?

Of course, it's Alabama...

[Hestia]

8. If I were Doug Jones, it would seem to easier to run against T Tuberville - what experience

does he have to help pull out of a pandemic? What experience does he have to help pull us out of this economic quagmire?

This is a time when experience does matter and I would pound on that until November.

Those in college should start taking public policy/public affairs classes. Yeah, you gotta learn about sewer systems, etc., but that's the name of the game.

Clinton Library has a Masters Program in public affairs. Supposed to be great.

9. They're both horrible however

The petty vindictive asshole in me takes great schadenfreude-alicious glee whenever a former republican congress critter tries to come back and fails. So Alabama has been quite generous in that regards the last few years.

12. kinda sucks being jeff sessions..........

Dems hate him for serving drumpf, and rethugs hate him for betraying drumpf by allowing mueller to investigate....... so no one really likes him lol

[not_the_one]

13. Oh, I can't find my teeny tiny violin... It is probably the same place as my empty bucket of fucks.

OH! Here it is...

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. Are those actual vote totals?

Oh, my dog!

Those are small numbers! Very small...tiny even.

[Roland99]

15. 20,320 - 14,350 now

[Red Mountain]

17. He served Trump

Failed to satisfy and was discarded. Here's a lesson for the rest of the Republicans out there:

Double down and go down with the (low-polling) ship or.......

jump ship and take your chances.

Maybe live to see another day? 2020 might not be your year. Cut your losses and hope for the future.

19. Not surprising dour leader was not happy with him, so the cult throws him under the bus too!!
