Or he’s voting for him because George Carlin was right and the D and R are two sides of the same coin. Neither has the countries best interest in mind. So, if a brilliant leader that seems to really care about people runs for a position that can only hurt his image he decided he couldn’t care less which party he puts beside his name.

No one is winning a statewide race as a democrat right now.

Love the guy, but I’m not voting for very many Republican candidates these days and I dang sure ain’t voting for a Democrat

His principles of hard work and earning your own way don't line up with the dims we have now.

Check this guy's thread on the rant.

No matter what he is he would be better than that idiot Meemaw who was actually a dem until switching parties. One of the worst govs ever

Best argument so far.

I’m still trying to figure out why any Alabama fan would’ve voted for Tuberville in the primary back in 2020.

As a Dem? No

So is Tubberville

Because they’ve declared Trump as their new God. I’m convinced if Trump came down and told these fricking morons to renounce Christianity and start a pilgrimage to Mar A Lago they’d do it.

I hate to say it, but all the good he has done in the state, would be wiped out in a few months with negative ads against him. It would be awful.

The cult of trump is much larger than the cult of saban

No, you're doing it because he's been the hugely successful CEO of the biggest brand in the state, a remarkably effective administrator, excellent job of evaluating people, and a huge supporter of the university system. He would be excellent at bringing new businesses to the state.
It's why Phil Bredesen was a hugely popular governor in Tennessee and was reelected, yet had no chance to be elected senator. Completely different jobs.
If you can't grasp that, you're the one who's dumb.
I'd probably vote for Saban for governor. There's probably no one in the state with executive skills and who would do better at evaluating people and bringing new business to the state.
I probably would not, however, vote for him for Senate. Completely different job.

I think he could but I would wager that Nick Saban would rather be in hell with his back broken than a cog in the halls of power in Montgomery or Washington.

Also, I think Saban is probably an old-school, working-class, smokestack industry trade union, strong on law and order and defense Democrat like his buddy Manchin. (Or Vince Lombardi for that matter.) You will struggle to find any of those anymore in Montgomery or Washington these days. He’d be the prototypical square peg in a round hole.

Os Saban old enough to get into politics? He’s only 71
