Source: AL.COM

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz will visit Huntsville on Monday to campaign for Mo Brooks on the eve of the Senate Republican primary.

The Brooks campaign announced the event Saturday.

Brooks and Cruz have long had a strong relationship. Brooks served as Alabama chair for Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign. And Cruz has previously endorsed Brooks’ candidacy for Senate.

The event with Cruz, which will be a town hall at Huntsville International Airport, is part of a big-name final push for Brooks on the primary campaign’s last day. He is also scheduled to take part in a tele-town hall Monday night with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, who is also backing Brooks’ Senate campaign.

That doesn't change that I hope he beats the il douche backed candidate
A Brooks win would mean il douche backed the wrong candidate in 3 of the last four senate contests (2 primary and 2 GE)
Both the Cancun Cruz backed candidate and the trump endorsed candidate are horrible people, so which ever wins the primary will be horrible

Probably the worst defeat of any candidate so far.
I haven't seen polling for the SoS race, but I'm hoping Raffensberger can beat the ass-kissing Jody Hice; who voted to certify HIS reelection.

NOT.

I once had Dick Cheney attend an event within 5-miles of my house and it took months to rid us of the stench.

Product of the Mobile County Public School System, for whatever that's worth, and the University of South Alabama. I go there now once or twice a year to visit family but probably won't go back once I don't have to. I love the food and the bay, but I HATE HATE HATE talking politics with people there (actually I hate that with most people).
