AUDub 11,131 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Who else is planning on voting tomorrow? I don’t have any work scheduled until the evening, when I have an 8 hour disinfect in Tuscaloosa. Plan on casting my ballot for Sessions in the AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 But to answer the question, there is a Senate candidate runoff here in TX that I plan on voting in tomorrow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my business, but if you don't mind me asking, are you voting for Sessions because you think he is the better candidate or because you think Jones has a better chance against him? I voted in the democratic primary because there was a judge in Montgomery that I really wanted to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught lightning in a bottle against Moore. He won't catch it twice. It’s not impossible. It is unlikely. I will be voting Sessions after work. I prefer him over Tuberville but more than that preference I want to see trump backpedal. I usually vote in the republican primaries because there are no democrats running in the local races in this area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get that this year no matter how unpopular the R is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a good feeling about it I would vote for Tuberville. He is a horrible candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Doug has an excellent future ahead of him in Biden’s potential cabinet though, and maybe further. He's a likeable moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Doug's victory in '17 was great, but the sheer number of lucky coincidences that had to happen for Doug to pull it out are extremely unlikely to happen this time around. Not to take anything away from Doug because he campaigned his ass off and got near presidential election year turnout in a special election, but the fact remains that Roy Moore was a uniquely bad candidate with a scandal that would make Billy Clinton blush depressed Republican turnout. This election is taking place in a presidential election year. No matter how bad the candidate, he can't count on depressed turnout again, even should a scandal pop up. Trump is still popular here and it's going to be big in downballot races like the one for Senate. Just having the R next to your name probably ensures victory. 2. Sessions at least had a modicum of ethical conduct about him. At least he had the nuts to recuse himself after Trump fired Comey. Tommy is going to be a useless MAGA yes man. Think Mr. Smith goes to Washington, but way more stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 7,410 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Maybe the Alabama Votes continue to re-elect the Incumbent? I am not assured, but am hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but I think this could be a good thing going forward for Doug. He'd make a great AG, and maybe, just maybe, he could springboard that onto greater heights. He'd be a good balancing moderate VP pick for a future progressive standard-bearer president like AOC... Dream big, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream big, you know? If trump wins he’d be a real consideration to run for the presidency in 24. These next four months will be critical for any spring boarding in his future. He has worked very well with several republicans. Maybe better than anyone else in Congress. That type of cooperation is what the country needs. The “gop , no matter what “ asshats will not acknowledge that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channonc 466 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If Trump wins again. I predict that the Dems DO NOT nominate a moderate in 2024. It will be a much more progressive candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
