Alabama Senator Doug Jones is making a lot of liberals angry by what he said yesterday about the way he might vote in the impeachment trial of President Trump in the Senate.
During an interview on 'This Week," Jones said, "What I'm trying to do, because quite frankly I didn't sit in front of the TV set the entire time the last two or three months, I have been trying to read this. I have been trying to see if the dots get connected. If that is the case, I think it's a serious matter, I think it's an impeachable matter. But if those dots aren't connected and there are other explanations that I think are consistent with innocence, I will go that way too."
There are clearly political reasons Jones is saying this. First of all, Alabama is a red state, and has been for a long time. Secondly, Jones probably would not have won a special election to replace then-Senator Jeff Sessions had the Republicans nominated anyone other than Roy Moore.
Thirdly, and finally, Jones is up for re-election next year, and among those running to oppose Jones include Sessions himself.
