As the wacky, high-profile Senate race in Alabama heats up with one top candidate’s release of a new TV ad, another major contender, former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville, is proving to be just another mud-slinging politician.

Predictably, Tuberville proves it in the very campaign literature that repeatedly proclaims he is not a typical career politician. The unintentional self-parody is almost priceless.

The first lines of his Dec. 5 fundraising mailer blast fellow candidate Jeff Sessions as a “career politician.” It continues: “One thing I am not is a career politician. In fact, I got in this race because I was tired of weak-kneed career politicians not following through on promises to Alabamans. That’s the difference between Jeff Sessions and me.”

The rest of the letter makes Tuberville a candidate for Clichés Anonymous. Four times he stresses that he supports President Trump, thrice more he rails against career or “professional” politicians, six times he blasts the Washington “swamp” that must be drained of its “creatures.” He also fulminates against the “deep state” and the “rigged” and “sham” impeachment “witch hunt” while accusing Sessions of “cashing in on decades of D.C. favors and insider money!” (Yes, the exclamation point was his, not mine.)

And it all surrounds a bullet-pointed series of attacks on Sessions, at least two of which contain refutable falsehoods. All of which predicates Tuberville repeatedly asking for donations of up to $2,800 for each stage of the election.

Whose lives were ruined?    Certainly not Trump's.  He was exonerated.

Give it a rest, Trump.

Opponents accuse Tuberville of supporting amnesty for undocumented immigrants

Excerpt:

Wednesday, Sessions announced a new television ad called “Tuberville for Amnesty.”

Byrne and Tuberville point to an August speech by Coach Tuberville when he said: “There are people coming across the border that need jobs… and we want them to come over here… Let em’ come in and become citizens like we all became citizens.”

The Tuberville campaign called the attack “fake news” on Twitter.

Sessions’ campaign manager Jon Jones said, “Tuberville is claiming that his own words are ‘fake news.’ All of them? Tommy Tuberville needs to read the transcript. It is clear that Tuberville supports immigration amnesty, and he is attempting to trick Alabama voters to believe otherwise. In contrast, Jeff Sessions has done more than just say he wants to fix the border – he has already worked alongside President Trump to stop illegal immigration.”
The new Sessions ad reads: “Tuberville is trying to trick you, hiding his support for immigration amnesty.” Then plays an audio clip of the Tuberville comment from August

Tuesday, Byrne told reporters in Trussville: “I can tell you right now this issue about Tommy Tuberville’s position on amnesty is a key issue. And so we’re going to keep telling people about his position on that and let him explain why he doesn’t think that’s amnesty.”
“Let em’ come in and become citizens like we all became citizens,” Tuberville is quoted in the ad.

So... that makes Sessions the lesser of the two evils. Swell.

Again, so, that makes Sessions the lesser of the two evils.  It's up to the people of AL anyways.

Small wonder.  I say @Applewood is right.  Let Alabama decide. 

I like Sessions.  He was doing a great job.  And I have asked everyone why Lindsey Graham is able to advise Sessions to recuse himself and still end up Trumps man?

[EdinVA]

Whose lives were ruined?    Certainly not Trump's.  He was exonerated.

Give it a rest, Trump.

Flynn?Carter?Manaforte?
others...

I agree with Trump...Sessions is worthless.

The people of Alabama should look back at what he did for them before taking AG job.

[Cyber Liberty]

"Let Alabama decide."

Exactly.  I said that a few years ago, in the Great Roy Moore War, and I got the slag for it.  'Salright, I'm tough.

(For the record, I recall a couple high-fives from our Alabamans at the time.  I thought the Moore thing was stupid.  Yet another reason, BTW, why Sessions was a shit-lousy choice for AG, it threw away a safe seat in the Senate.  Never mind the non-feasance in office.)

Manafort?

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal jury in Virginia convicted Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, on eight felony counts on Tuesday, but the judge declared a mistrial on the 10 other charges he faced.
Manafort, a fixture in Republican politics for decades, was convicted of five counts of tax fraud, one count of failure to file a report of foreign bank and financial accounts and two counts of bank fraud. A mistrial was declared in three counts of failing to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts, and seven counts of bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy.

Prosecutors built a case that Manafort for years hid millions from U.S. tax authorities in overseas accounts, spending the money to maintain a lavish lifestyle and lying to banks to generate more cash.
The trial was the first public test of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, and while the special counsel was vindicated, the victory wasn't total.

Confused.... AOC, Pelosi, Schiff, etc get figuratively beat about the head and shoulders hourly and now all of a sudden, it is off limits to talk about someone else's candidate? hmmm

.

The topic is about Trump's anger at Sessions for his recusal ... Trump has every right to be angry.  Just because Sessions has an 'R' next to his name doesn't exonerate him and that was my point stating that he's the lesser of two evils.

Still no answer.

Jeff Sessions on the issues:

Nothing about him.  All about Sessions.  All about what Sessions did to Trump.  He has nothing.

I was wondering what this guy Tuberville's selling point was.  Other than the fact he was a famous coach and has been endorsed by Trump, just what does he have to offer for the people of Alabama and for the nation as a whole if he were to become senator?  I hope the people of Alabama look more closely at the candidate himself and not vote for him just because he is pro-Trump.  But like I said, it's up to them to decide.

[Applewood]

Flynn?Carter?Manaforte?

I don't see how Sessions' recusal had any bearing on Manafort and Flynn.  Seems to me the prosecutors found evidence of wrongdoing by both men and they were prosecuted. They would have been prosecuted whether Sessions was still AG or not. 

Well, Manafort is out now and it looks like Flynn may be let go too, so where have those two been ruined?

Half the State won't vote for an Auburn coach.

Sounds like he has about as much as Trump had coming in.  His WWE fans.  Fake wrestling, fake fight with McMahon. Same thing he does now.  Shouts his popularity percentages and the crowds go wild for Fake Trump.

None of the above, the two true conservatives in the state that ran are out of the running. Tubberville is just an opportunist from out of state that seems to only be playing the role of a conservative. If I were to vote (and I won't be) it would be Sessions over Tommy.
