Jefferson Beauregard Sessions will apparently be running for his old seat in Alabama. What makes this a fascinating story is the raging anger Trump still feels for Sessions, because Sessions - for all his odious racism - was insufficiently loyal to Hair Furor. The odds of Trump attacking Sessions is remarkably high.
Alabama - unexpectedly - represents a crucial battleground state for control of the Senate. Republicans look likely to lose a seat in Colorado, and could lose seats in Maine, North Carolina, Iowa, Arizona, and perhaps even Georgia and Kentucky. Regaining the seat in Alabama is critical to any plans to retain control of the upper chamber.
So Trump's malignant narcissism could produce a conundrum for his hate-huffing acolytes in Alabama. The racist we've know for decades or the racist we've come to adore?
Ideally, Sessions narrowly edges accused pedophile Roy Moore, who launches a third party bid out of spite. Moore draws off 10% of the creepier fundies and Doug Jones gets another six years.
