“He was never going to win re-election but he knows if he votes for this crap even the most long of shots is done”

That’s it. He’s going to get defeated, that’s a 99% certainty. He shouldn’t have been there in the first place and wouldn’t have been if not for Roy Moore and his theatrics. He’s hoping that if he shows just the tiniest bit of backbone and votes against the democrats that it might fool some Alabama voters who are dumb enough to fall for it. It won’t work, but that’s about all he’s got.
Jones to me is a toss up, he knows he can’t win if he votes for this crap, but on the same token he’s got a snowballs chance in hell of beating Sessions... So he could vote for it because he knows he’s a dead man walking anyway.
Manchin will NEVER vote for this thing...
Tester I would think not likely as well.. t
Shaheen would be one I would watch Brown (OH) would be other Dems I would watch.
Shaheen is actually up in 2020, in a State Trump is almost certain to take.... Unless the GOP put up a loser candidate and refuse to take the field, She’s going to have a fight to keep her seat... If she votes to impeach, it probably will cost her her seat, as long as the GOP put up a reasonable candidate.
There are others I would watch... Brown and Tester don’t face voters until 2024, so he may follow party line with hopes people will forget it
by then.
Shaheen on the other hand.... She faces voters in NOV... She’ll be a good Bellweather. Manchin knows he’s done in WV even if he doesn’t go back up for re-election until 2024... He knows his state and its electorate, and where they stand on all this, and they know his political career in WV is over if he votes for this.
So Shaheen is a good bell weather... You see her break with the party line, you know there is no doubt that this impeachment thing is going to cost the Democrats HUGE this fall.
