That was my exact thought the moment this nomination was made. Don't do it, Mr. President, please! Let him stay in the Senate. We need his vote there. Often apparent "safe" seats really aren't so safe. Why give our opponents an opportunity? It played out precisely along those lines.

Let his be a lesson for Trump and the Party. Make no Executive appointments from sitting Republican Senators, Congressmen, or Governors. There are plenty of capable people on our side outside those offices. Keep them where they are for now. We need their votes. We had some 40+ retirements this past election. Throw in the usual bleeding/losses for first-term Presidents at midterm, and we were facing pretty stiff headwinds. I'm surprised we escaped with the relatively few losses we had. It could have been a much bigger slaughter if not for Trump hitting the campaign trail.

How old will Sessions be in 2020? Because he can run for Senate against Doug Jones in Alabama and re-take his old seat- albeit without Senate seniority. In fact, pretty sure he would destroy Jone’s chances entirely. Game, set, match. And recoup his poor performance as AG, and restore integrity to the Senator from Alabama.

This could be.
