It sounds as if he hoping his remarks will cause back room power-brokers within the party to put pressure on Figures and any other potential candidate to oppose Sessions to leave the field open to him because they figure he has the best chance of any Democrat to unseat Sessions. There's no telling what sort of propositions those power-brokers will make to Figures or any other potential candidate. Cynic that I am, this is my take on Sparks’ comments.
