Trump Endorses Sessions’ Rival | Talking Points Memo

President Trump can’t stop kicking dirt in his former attorney general’s face.

On Tuesday night, Trump tweeted his support for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ rival in the GOP Alabama Senate primary — former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville.

Paging @khyber900, please come to the courtesy telephone. Does Trump’s endorsement of Tuberville help or hurt Sessions? Will Roll Tide voters now back Sessions?

Hurts Sessions. Tuberville will be the GOP nominee for AL-Sen.

He actually tweeted this? I would have thought he would have just sharpied Tuberville’s name over Florida or something.

OK Trump Republicans in Congress, this is YOUR FATE.

Trump leaves no supporters un-fucked, delighting in twisting the knife he stabs you in the back with.

ENJOY!!!

Tuberville’s an asshole. Literally bitch slapped an assistant during a game and claimed he was just trying to get him off the field and his hand slipped. He also was codefendant with a guy in a investment fraud case that netted his partner a ten year sentence. His case was settled with the conditions kept secret. Hopefully an enterprising reporter will dig into his past.

Sessions should look on the bright side. At least he’s not in prison/under investigation like 25% of Trump’s employees and officials.

I have no sympathy for Jeff Sessions and I really can’t imagine how anyone could be worse.

I expect there will be a break along those lines in the runoff. Sessions will still probably lose, however, because its impossible for him to weaponize that and not lose the also large number of Auburn voters in the state.

But there won’t be in the General.

I know that you asked for Khyber, but here’s Trump’s endorsement record with this seat.

Endorses ‘Big Luther’ Strange (the establishment guy), he loses to Roy Moore in the runoff.

Endorses Roy Moore, Moore loses to Doug Jones in the general.

It wouldn’t surprise me, if Reckon was looking into it.
