Tuberville seems pretty sketchy

hayes is interviewing a democratic operative with Doug Jones campaign who is saying there are issues about where Tuberville lives, about various frauds he is involved with.
There may yet be a chance for Jones.

He is a crook that almost went to the federal pen for stealing almost 2 million dollars from investors. His partner did go to the pen and is serving 10 years.

There are a lot of University of Alabama alumni and fans who will not vote for an Auburn coach. Roll Tide.

to make a dent. You would need video of Tuberville and his male, African-American lover in a threesome with Roy Moore to get most of these GOP voters to turn their backs on him. Even then, they wouldn't vote for Jones. They just wouldn't vote at all.

I know the dynamic but I just don't think there are enough Bama fans willing to let their hatred for Tuberville overwhelm their political partisanship.

But we might do better against Tubs than we would have against Sessions.

That’s what it took for Jones to win last time, and even with that in Roy Moore he almost lost.
