he's going to have to vote to acquit. That's what his constituents want and this is who he represents.

So stop the catering

and is a hypocrite

It is pretty amazing the things pols can say with a straight face.

Probably doesn't matter how Doug Jones votes, but i hope he doesn't set total obstruction of Congress as an accepted practice.

reelect him if he should vote against rump and cronies? I thought enough voters in Alabama were sick and tired of the republican games being played and thus, voted Jones in for a little house cleaning.

This time it’s session. Won’t be easy. I hope senator Jones can find a way to win but it is our most difficult seat.

perhaps with his record so far of not alienating his voters, perhaps he'll be a shoo in? We can only hope...

I was hoping that the voters in Alabama have had a reckoning, being that parts of the state are 'liberal', such as Huntsville, the rocket capital of the US (or one of them), that launched the successful series of rockets into space. Such intelligence and smarts, all concentrated in the northern part of Alabama. I still have family there in Alabama, and do hold out hope for the state to show the rest of the South the way to go, in governing.

When these guys from red states straddle the fence and grasp at corrupt republicanism to keep their job they just lose their office and their integrity... eg Donnelly, McCaskill, et al...

and it would look horrible for us if 1 or 2 Democrats along with every republican senator to acquit Trump. Both Manchin and Jones both need to vote to convict Trump period.

But he ran against pedophilia, not the Alabama Republican Party.

This time, they are not running a child molester, but probably the same guy who had that seat (and securely) four years ago. Jones could wear red suits and ties, and record gospel albums singing Trump's praises, and STILL lose his seat if he runs against Sessions. He might as well go down with honor (like Heidi Heitkamp in 2018) than groveling for reality not to step on him, which it will anyway.

The first article is at least debatable on some level IMO but the obstruction of Congress should have no defense particularly from a Dem.
