I don't think he's smart or savvy enough to pull that off even if he did care enough, and I think he's going to be too incompetent to even be an effective puppet.
Eh, he needs to have competent people around him to have staying power. We indict/prosecute/remove a lot of politicians here. We're batting close to 1.000 when it comes to antiestablishment candidates.
You know this as well as I do, but there’s no one in Alabama that’s going to see that and change their mind. Sadly, if anything that’s borderline endearing to Tommy in this state.
Tubby just ran a commercial where he's going to donate his paycheck to the veterans of Alabama. Doug's been trying to hammer Tubs about veterans in his ads.
I saw it. He also said if you burn a flag, you should be in jail It was basically tailored to people who can't read or write. So embarrassing. Fuck him.
Is there a Republican at the state level or above that actually gives a shit about the country and it’s citizens right now? I say no Meant this for the greater country discussion but point stands
I don't think a single Republican voter in Alabama cares about ranking at the bottom of just about everything. Politics has been reduced to grade school bullshit and the focus is on simplistic issues rather than progress. People suck.
The people of Alabama don't see this as an important piece of legislation. More of a hindrance giving black folk rights
I’m Tommy Tuberville and I’ll donate my puny Senate paycheck because not one, but two college football teams are still paying me not to work.
We elected a geriatric idiot as governor twice because he made tv/radio ads saying he was a doctor and Alabama needed a doctor (he was a dermatologist), and that he wouldn't take a salary (he was of course independently wealthy). Tubs plays right into the stupidity of the average Trumper in Alabama. Though I have at least talked to a few that even draw the line at Tubs, but nowhere near enough.
Taking someone's freedom for burning a piece of cloth is absolutely mindblowing to me in a free country
In all seriousness, how is Tuberville essentially saying “if you vote for me I will take a government salary and give it to veterans” not illegal vote buying? If I was on the Jones campaign I’d be filing complaints with every election commission I possibly could.
Saw Bentley leaving the grocery store tonight. His license plate is G53. Seems like a very odd thing to brag about being governor when you got kicked out He is also back practicing...
Tuberville would be an idiot to debate. All he has to do is stay on the ballot and keep his head down and the idiot will win.
He had to do something like 1000 hours of community service in his practice, presumably doing mole checks and whatnot.

President Trump's going to carry the state thanks to Senator Tommy Tubberville's coattails. Imagine reading that sentence ten years ago.
So Alabama draws the line only at a pedophile and just barely when it comes to electing people who are actually qualified for this job. State should just be set on fire and left to burn.
