I wasn’t quite sure how Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was planning to campaign to regain his old Senatorial seat, but outright groveling at the feet of the guy who busted his chops was certainly not on my radar:
Wow. So he’s not written a tell-all book, he hasn’t attacked Trump since Trump told him to get lost, he hasn’t stuck needles in the Trump voodoo doll, hell, he’s in full support of Trump’s agenda.
Shit. Doesn’t this guy have any self-respect?
But on further navel-gazing, this all makes sense. Trump is the top dog of the Trump cult, and if Sessions wants to be part of the game again, he has to ingratiate himself to the cult. Was he a good Senator prior to being the Attorney General? Does he have good ideas going forward? The cult, abandoning its responsibilities as Americans, doesn’t care.
And hell if I know. It’s 30 seconds of groveling. But this is a strategy which just might work for Sessions, because this is how the Trump cult works – you don’t have to analyze, you don’t have to judge what your leaders do, just be attentive and follow the clues Trump leaves. Maybe he’ll give Sessions a thumbs up. Maybe it’ll be a down.
But your accomplishments, your competency, everything that matters to a traditional voter, these things no longer matter if you’re a Trump cultist. Will Sessions adore Trump enough?
Time will tell.
