The Hill -- Is That Short For Hillary?

I just saw an article in The Hill about who would be likely to replace senator Sessions of Alabama if he joins the Trump cabinet.  The replacement senator would be selected by Alabama's Republican governor.  As a charter member of the mainstream media, The Hill seemed unable to keep the article serious.  The article lists two state legislators and two congressmen as potential replacements.  It sounded as if it were drafted by the DNC.  First, the article made a point of mentioning one state legislator who was recently arrested for DUI.  Really?  Is there any chance that the governor will pick that guy for the senate?  Of course not.  The Hill also pushes forward the name of congressman Martha Roby.  She doesn't have any chance to be selected.  She denounced Trump after the Billy Bush tape and suggested that he step down as the candidate.  As a result, she just squeaked by in her re-election bid.  There's really no chance that the governor will pick someone clearly on the outs with the new president and who demonstrated that she could be beaten.  So The Hill names four possible candidates and half of them are a joke.  It seems that The Hill would rather push bad candidates for the GOP than report actual facts.
