[VanDeKoik]

Oh look! Someone resigned today!

Thanks for saving the RNC money on that race, you corksucker. Hopefully the DNC will pay for the U-Haul when you move out of Alabama.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This is true. He knows he’s got a tough reelection fight and is going down anyway, so his vote is a virtue signaling vote.

[HamiltonJay]

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..

[Maudeen]

They must have something on him.

[Sacajaweau]

Wow....what a surprise...

[hal ogen]

Boot this loser OUT! What an unable-to-=think-clearly nitwit. He definitely needs to “spend more time with his family”.

[LRoggy]

He was losing either way, might as well set himself up for the CNN guest slot and the Bolton autobiography scam.

[escapefromboston]

Doug is losing his seat no matter what. He will need some dem hack to give him a job in a year.

[budj]

"...many sleepless nights..."

There will be a lot more of those coming up.

[samtheman]

Again, I say good.

Want to make sure he’s gone in November.

Retake House.

Increase margin in Senate.

Trump re-elected in landslide.

[mewzilla]

FWIW: The Dems knew the seat is a likely loss and they really, really, REALLY don’t want a bipartisan acquittal.

I’m sure Jones will get a nice golden parachute for his trouble.

[Trump.Deplorable]

Why can’t he just retire? Its not like he is in his 40’s or 50’s, I mean, let someone else run who can last another couple decades.

I just don’t like how modern politicians only leave their posts in a pine box. When did this become tradition?

[wetgundog]

Sepuku is strong with this grasshopper.

[zeestephen]

Apparently decided he cannot win reelection?

Now hopes to join a Democrat Administration in 2020 or 2024?

[EdnaMode]

Well.... bye!

[cuban leaf]

In other news, the sun sets in the west.

Must be a slow news day.

I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Schumer votes.

No. Not really. :D

[Conserv]

If so, he’s absolute toast.

[JohnBrowdie]

he was a goner anyway. he took one for the team.

[commish]

Jones knows he is electorally a dead man walking in November so there was no reason for him to continue his sham "moderatism".

He is behind by over 20% in all polls and is headed for what may the largest beat down of a sitting Senator in history.

[blam]

"This is a good sign, because it tells me he knows he’s a goner in November."

Yup. He won't win no matter what he does or says.
(He already knows it too)
