Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions lost the Republican nomination for his old Senate seat in Alabama to former college football coach Tommy Tuberville, likely ending a long political career with a bitter defeat egged on by President Donald Trump.
Tuberville, 65, beat Sessions in Tuesdays Republican runoff as Sessions fell short in his attempted comeback for a seat he held for two decades before resigning to become Trumps attorney general in 2017.
Familiar to Alabamians from his decade as Auburn Universitys head football coach, Tuberville is now positioned for a strong challenge against Democratic U.S. Sen. Doug Jones. With Alabamas strong GOP tilt, the seat is widely viewed as Republicans best chance for a pickup as they try to maintain their thin Senate majority amid Trumps lagging popularity nationally.

“Do any Freepers in Alabama have any idea what his chances are in November?”
Very good.
Outside of the liberal areas of the Birmingham metroplex, Montgomery, and Selma, Jones is absolutely hated.
Ann needs to take a break from criticizing Trump for the rest of the calendar year.
Adios MF, now go quietly into retirement and take Ann Coulter along with you.
Sessions is a useless POS and weasel of the worst kind.
Lurking only Lurker ....... :o)
Lurk on, old friend.

So, what was the background and experience that made you not like Reagan or Trump? And who did you prefer in those elections?
We need someone in this state, younger who can hang around longer, to run and win that seat. Look, I don't know what Tubbs is down inside him. Trump pushed for him. I feel they had to talk to each other. So, Trump pushed him, and I guess would have pushed anyone who was running against Sessions. But, Trump will have to go with him, because we have to take out Jones. Damn, I don't know of many real, solid, by the book, Christian conservatives around this state, that do not have something in the dark side of their lives. Everyone does. You, me, Trump, Reagan, everyone has S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G!! So, we have to run with Tubbs, because he is what we have. Trump approved of him. So that is our man against Jones, for better or worse.
“Abe Lincoln didn’t do too bad being a lawyer”????????? Give me a damn break. Ol “Honest Abe” was a tyrant, a dictator and killed over 700,000 Americans for the sake of a LIE.
It kinda seems like you were wanting to vote more for Pope than President, actually.
Forcing Trump to work again with Sessions would not have been helpful for either man or us.
Lets make you work and campaign for the Black Lives Matter pedo or Nancy Pelosi and see if you can constructively influence him for the better.
