Let this sink in for a moment ...

The entire reason of picking cabinet members such as Jeff Sessions from deep Red states is so the their seat is safe when they accept the cabinet position, Trump managed to even fuck that up.

He turned Jeff Sessions seat Blue in the most Red state in the nation.

This level of utter failure is unprecedented.

Trump is crashing and burning hard, and he doesn't have the skill set to handle it or do anything to correct it.


It's now time to attack the GOP's tax bill scam full force.

Roy Moore is what everything Trump is but Republicans did not want to believe 12 months ago, now they're taking the blinders off and they don;t like what they see.


Here is what Alabama looked like on Election Day in 2016

Trump’s misogynistic tweet this morning also might have motivated some Alabaman Republicans (females) to go ahead and vote for Jones.

Republican officeholders have a good reason tonight not to enrage their constituents by supporting a very unpopular bill.
