1. Does that mean he will

Sell his primary residence in florida?

[Deuxcents]

6. My first thought!

[rurallib]

9. !

[BoRaGard]

22. He is such a republicon

If he wins he won't need FEMA to help him since he is absolute positive that climate change is a lib hoax. So you'll have to pull yourself up by your own clodhoppers, Tubey.

And besides, Krasnov (R-Felon) is stomping FEMA so the GOP can do more tax cuts for the wealthy. It ain't gonna help any regular people at all.

27. Exactly what I was thiniking. I think you have to live in the state if you run for gov.

At least if he wins we get his dumb ass out of the US Senate.

[Botany]

29. If he stays a resident of Alabama or the has just moved to Alabama from Florida we might be able to ..

….. get a count of how many brain dead people there are in Alabama. Although this Alabama and you
can count on the race going Republican no matter how the people actually voted.

[DFW]

2. Someone with the adminstrative ability of an amoeba and the civil rights views of Vlad the Impaler

What could possibly go wrong?

Other than the fact that, if nominated, he'll probably get in, that is.

[rsdsharp]

3. Ron Johnson will throw his body in front of Tuberville.

Without Tommy there, Johnson goes back to being the dumbest member of the Senate.

[displacedvermoter]

15. I still say MarkWayne Mullin

is a real dark horse for that title.

[madinmaryland]

18. And then there's Marcia Blackburn. Dumbest of the dumb.

[mr715]

21. Susan Collins isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

NT

[madinmaryland]

25. She's very concerned at this moment. She will be checking the concern-o-meter to see how much.

[walkingman]

4. I think he has shown that he is not qualified for public office. An embarrassment to Auburn.

[Efilroft Sul]

5. If he leaves the Senate, its average IQ will increase by 50 points -- even with the rest of the Republicans in office.

[wyn borkins]

20. Your Comment Begets Hope (for Humanity) :: Appreciations And Thank You (n/t)

[allegorical oracle]

23. Absolutely. Of course, if AL is dumb enough to make Tommy the Gov., AL is dumb

enough to vote for another ignorant clown to take his place in congress.

[617Blue]

7. They're already at the bottom so why not. Good for them.

[onenote]

8. At least he can only screw up one state that way.

As a Senator, he can try to screw up the entire country.

[leftieNanner]

10. I guess the Senate was too difficult?

Wow ....

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. I thought that Tuberville lives in Florida

[Vinca]

12. Do you think that matters to Tuberville? Alabama, Florida, just a technicality.

[struggle4progress]

13. As long as we're giving Ukraine to Russia, why not throw in Alabama too?

[Aristus]

14. Don't expect any improvement in Alabama's Senate delegation.

I'm sure there are plenty of shit-for-brains Deputy Dawg types lazing their days away in Alabama who would jump at the chance to laze away their days in the Senate, for a much better paycheck.

[Paladin]

16. Yeah, I don't want a Republican with a functioning brain to replace Tuberville. (nt)

[Aristus]

19. Fortunately, there are not too many of those.

[msongs]

17. so he can live in a big mansion like scarlett o hara? nt

[Ars Longa]

24. I hope we could get Doug Jones to Run again... I think maybe

he could have a chance- with a lot of help in this
political environment. (?)

[JustAnotherGen]

33. I'd fly down

And knock on doors in Talladega for him.

[Polybius]

35. Unfortunately, he'd still lose by 20 points n/t

[Polybius]

34. Why bother?

The only Republican that he can beat in the state is Roy Moore.

[Callie1979]

26. Get that POS out of the Senate.

[Initech]

28. This stupid dumb fuck Fox News correspondent should never be in any position of power.

[magicarpet]

30. Just get the fuck outta the senate,.... toobie.

[Johonny]

31. Is stupid governor a step up from moronic senator?

He seems to be failing downward.

[Hassler]

32. Coach Tubby is certainly stupid enough to be

Alabama's governor

[DFW]

36. If he wins, he will move into the Governor's mansion

Well, OK, maybe the one in Tallahassee, but ONE of them governor’s mansions, anyway….
