This tells us 2 things:

1) He knows he has NO chance of winning in November, regardless of how he votes.
2) His post-Senate sinecure has been arranged.

Whatever. The people of Alabama will have a little word with Mr. Jones this November as they render their own verdict on his tenure as a U.S. Senator.

It’s a smart move. He will lose the election either way likely and this will secure him well paying positions in Democrat circles.

I didn’t say it was a move with the most integrity. I said it was a smart move

The DNC isn’t going to waste funds on him.

Might as well. He isn't going to be there much longer, and so he has absolutely nothing to lose.

And thanks to all you people who helped the lying Democrats and the Republican backstabbers to take down Judge Roy Moore with a bunch of made up lies from a Democrat activist.

You figured it out with Kavanaugh. Too bad you didn't figure it out when they first did it to Moore.

He knows he is done and wants to remain in good standing with the leadership of the Democrat party.

“This is just Jones giving Alabama the finger on his way out the door.”

Yup, he was going to lose either way so this is just a resume enhancer for his future as a lobbyist or MSNBC personality or whatever.

I hope it all backfires on him terribly.

So, he’s conceded he knows he can’t win, so going to vote with the party in hopes of some sort of reward after he’s ejected this fall..

That's exactly it. He knows he's going to lose his Senate seat this November no matter which way he votes. To ensure his future as a democratic operative he's got to stay in the good graces of the party leaders, that's all this vote is about. If he votes to acquit then he loses the election and he's made himself a pariah in the democratic party. If he votes guilty he still loses the election but he remains in good standing with the commies.

I agree...I believe that the democrats know that President Trump will be re-elected. Their effort is to shorten his coattails in order to keep the house.

Remember he ran as a Democrat who could work with Trump-they always lie to get elected!

I had the impression that Young is not strong on important issues such as gun rights, but I could be mistaken. No matter what, he is better than Cindy Axne. She is Pelosi’s puppet and a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. She still thinks Obamacare is a good idea.

Look for Dougie to run for governor or some other state office. He was never going to be reelected to the Senate no matter how he voted on anything.
