Bruce Pearl being a jew (albeit a far right pro israel jew) might rub a particular kind of Alabama alum the wrong way.
Can't wait for him to get caught on a hot mic cheering on burning down children's hospitals. Only to receive a 3% bump in the polls a week later.
He has leaned into the evangelical thing and is attending mass baptisms. But, yeah, as long as there is another option in the primary doing MAGA shit, he’ll lose.
I will always refer back to Kay Ivery saying she, without question believed Roy Moore's accusers, but would still vote for him because she could never bring herself to vote for a Democrat. The state of Alabama (like much of the Deep South) is a cesspool when it comes to folks living by the convictions they parade around for votes.
He’s socially liberal economically conservative. Very concerned about government spending and the national debt, big fan of what Elon is doing.
You could slap a "R" next to the corpse of LBJ, and he'd get 55% of the popular vote in a general election against any Democrat, in this state.
I don’t think they will. The field isn’t set yet, but someone like Steve Marshall or John Merrill will dogwalk him.
idk how you can watch what that party is doing and still say "yep I want to vote for that!"" but do you
Yeah Marshall seems like a big enough name to do it. Didn't Merrill get exposed talking to [male] prostitutes on Twitter?
Yes, I remember when he ran against Doug Jones’s and I talked to contemporary’s about the vote. They said they knew he is an idiot but couldn’t vote blue. Bama has governor Me-Ma now. Majority of voters are mouth breathers I’m sorry to say
Makes me think back to this podcast on how disastrous the Alabama Democratic Party is. Equally reminded me of Louisiana.
Yeah he did make a run at our AD position back in like 2015 or 2016, and he was so hated in Auburn they gave it to an unexperienced black man from New York and then voted him as senator like 2-3 years later That state can’t be saved.
It was an affair. https://www.al.com/news/2021/04/sex...-the-fall-of-john-merrill.html?outputType=amp Merrill is the best retail politician in the state. He can get around it.
I don’t think y’all fully appreciate how bad our state party has gotten. The DNC had to inject cash before the 2024 convention for delegate travel, or several of our delegates weren’t going to show up.
The drop off in just 10 years has been so dramatic. Even formerly blue Miami is now red. There are no state-wide elected Dems. I can’t even tell you who is currently in charge.
I heard that live while driving my mom around today doing errands. She's 80 years old and thought it was crazy.
Call screener- “Thanks for calling into the Paul Finebaum show. What topic do you want to talk with Paul about?” Caller — “Well, I’m at a Buffalo Wild Wings during lunch thinking about how my wife wants to divorce me because I slept with my mother in law six months into our marriage. Want to know if Paul thinks she is overreacting.” Call screener to Paul- “You’re going to want to take this one.”
There's a morning show here that does obviously fake prank calls like that. It's called Jubel in the Morning or something like that. That "caller" is in the building somewhere
This is a show that had a mentally deranged hero call in to tell Paul about his committing a crime by committing arboricide. I think you are underestimating the type of callers that actually exist in Paul’s world.
I don't listen to his show because it's all SEC, it just has like the same pattern as the prank calls I'm talking about
Drink specials are illegal in Alaska. Obviously he’s not Alaskan with that accent as well. Still tremendous content.
need gubbs to call in again Paul's callers have toned in down a TON since he went to the SEC Network many years ago. It used to be pure insanity 24/7
