Alabama Democratic Sen. Jones in a bind on impeachment

HANCEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Doug Jones walked into a recent town hall and declared he was ready for whatever his constituents wanted to throw at him. But first, he wanted to address the biggest news from Washington: The House impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. "I'm not making a judgment about where we are on any of this because it's too early," Jones said, not waiting to be asked. He noted his potential role as a juror if the issue lands in the Senate.

Already considered the Senate's most endangered Democrat, the senator is facing the uncomfortable possibility of having to vote on removing the president from office while running for reelection in a state where Trump won 62% of the vote. Whatever Jones decides, if it comes to that, he's going to make lots of Alabamians mad.

He could always vote “Present,” like Obama did.

He stole a Senate seat. A radical leftist but he tries to seem more moderate the closer the election gets.

He needs to come to his senses and not go along with this whole impeachment farce.

That is essentially a no vote. Voting “present” is a cop out. It tells everyone you are a phony and too weak to take a stand and admit what your position is.

Well, they are going to do it again unless they nominate a strong candidate! Let’s hope Roy Moore doesn’t try to muck it up.

The smears against Roy Moore worked, unfortunately, which is why he lost that election. Mudslinging and smear campaigns work sometimes. It did in the Alabama special election.

And it’s frustrating that, the reason we had that election in the first place, is that Jeff Sessions had resigned to become attorney general.

The Senate Conservatives Fund, which has a pretty good record, has endorsed Arnold Mooney:

Arnold Mooney R—Alabama Arnold Mooney (R-AL) is challenging Senator Doug Jones (D-AL). Mooney is a businessman and state representative with a proven record of results. He has fought to defend life, he sponsored Alabama's Right to Work law that became part of the Alabama Constitution, he fought for the public display of the Ten Commandments, and he even wrote legislation that would allow Alabamians to help fund the border wall at the state level. Arnold Mooney has deep roots in Alabama and will work with President Trump to cut spending, secure our borders, reduce taxes, give patients more control over their health care decisions, and protect human life. Arnold and his wife Kelly have three children and eight grandchildren.

FAKE BEWS!
He’s going to lose anyway, so he’ll vote just as Chuckie says- like he always does.

The fake media is lying for him.

Moore probably did date 17-18 year olds when he was in his early 30s. That’s pretty creepy by today’s standards but was accepted back then. My grandmother married a 27 year old man when she was 19 and it worked out well. I do NOT believe that Moore forced himself on anyone.

And if he votes “no” on removal then the Democrats will primary him out.

Idiot Alabama voters were whuupped by the MSM, aided and abetted by Sean Hannity.

Hannity is why Jones won.
