6. This Tuberville situation boils my blood

I’m not hearing or seeing any chatter about what Democrats are planning to combat this. My hope is work is going on with Schumer behind the scenes, and yes, reasoning with Tuberville on multiple levels is the first course of action. With each approach, the heat is turned up. Tuberville has the cover and the votes back home in Alabama to ride this out to his bitter end. This is a political fight. Let’s start fighting politically!!! Alabama is a lost cause in my opinion. It’s not a state we need to tread delicately with and fear wrath of voters by outmaneuvering Tuberville.
