decades of ideological rot and empirical vacuousness with power only propped up by treating anything the opposition did as treasonous leads to some dark corners
I want to jump in a time machine and explain this to some bammer right after the 2007 iron bowl while Tubs is holding up 6 fingers. “You’re gonna vote for that man to be your senator in 13 years because Donald trump told you to.”
If Saban ran for office as a Democrat and Trump came out attacking him, how many Gump's heads would explode?
I'll be honest, I kinda blame Tubs' trollery for the football gods unleashing Saban upon us. It was awesome at the time though I'm not gonna lie.
he's been using this on the campaign trail. saying something like "well i ran all those other guys off and then you got saban." kind of a brilliant way to appeal to bammers tbh
My biggest Trump supporter friend is also my most ridiculous Bammer friend. He's extremely irrational in both (which is kinda a prerequisite for the former). I desperately want to hear him choose between an Auburn coach he hated and still hates and a guy his beloved Trump absolutely hates. Which will break first -- Bammerdom or Trumperdom? Stay tuned!
He’ll remain loyal to Trump. Once you’ve taken that plunge, you’ve forsaken your previous self and attachments you had previously.
You'd think so. And may be correct. But this guy has been the type of Bammer to try to bail out Harvey Updyke in a show of support. I'm a die-hard Bammer but he's absolutely absurd. At the very least, I want him to acknowledge that he is choosing Trump over Bama. Either way, it's highly entertaining.
is this an mb friend? i've had to pretty much excise all the trump ones from my life. one works as a fucking legislative aide for trump now.
You know it. You absolutely know it. He's firmly in the Trump cult of personality and firmly in the Bama cult as well. In reality, he'll almost certainly vote for Tubbs but he won't admit it because he doesn't want it on his record as a Bammer.
tubs' campaign manager, though from the gump, was president of SAE at bama (machine babyyyy) so he's also pretty in with the mb old row crowd
The NRA endorsed Sessions. Now their heads are really gonna explode. Their love of guns vs their love of trump.
Nope, it’s an easy choice for them, they will always choose Trump, it doesn’t matter if the other option is Jesus Christ himself.
In my defense, Alabama GOP has nominated Roy Moore and Kay Ivey for its last two major elections, we no longer deserve credit. Secondly, it is a completely different situation. Moore beat the guy Trump endorsed because the guy Trump endorsed got his seat in a shady manner. Tubs is going to win because the Republicans of Alabama are so brainwashed by Trump they think the guy who has a 20 year record in the Senate can't be a Senator because he was a totally pussy as AG.
I'll refrain from saying I told you so anymore as to Tubbs chances to win the GOP nomination. Do you guys think this is worst case scenario for Doug Jones?
Doug Jones wouldn't have beaten Roy Moore if it had been a general election. He wasn't winning reelection regardless of his opponent.
Alabama has a closed primary, and the turnout for a July 14 runoff is going to be very light. I still wouldn't count Sessions out. He's going to have a stronger ground game.
