Paging Doug Jones...
Paging Doug Jones...
Doug Jones is very qualified
(in reply to R. Neal)
Doug Jones is very qualified and was a good Senator for two years. His win in a special election would have never happened without the Roy Moore situation. There is no way a state that elects a total buffoon dumbass like Tommy Tuberville will elect anyone deserving to replace Shelby. Tuberville has no qualifications and does not have a clue about serving in the Senate. Tuberville is a joke and will definately compete with Marsha Blackburn and several other Republican Senators for dumbass of the year honors!
Shelby voted to impeach Bill
Shelby voted to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a blow job. Shelby voted to acquit Trump the first time he was impeached. Any bets on his vote this time?
