Doug Jones was helped not in the least by the non-binding “resignation” offered by Senator Al Gropen, er, Franken. If the Democrats do not clear out their own scalawags, then why send yet another scalawag to the Senate?
Maybe Doug Jones is a pretty decent guy, we won’t ever see the proposition tested. But he is, after all, a Democrat, and Democrats cannot be counted on to keep their word, no matter what pretty promises they may make.
Jones can talk in his ads all he wants to about working with everybody and reaching across the aisle, but anyone with half a brain know he will be Schumer’s ***** as soon as he steps off the plane in DC.
