Mitch might be more vulnerable than him....good luck.

It's the repugs who are making it partisan, not the Dems.

So far I've heard that Roy Moore, Jeff Sessions, and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville want the seat. Tuberville may not fight dirty, but I imagine that Sessions and Moore will be slinging mud against the others in the primary. Hopefully they'll dirty up the eventual goper nominee enough that Jones will come out ahead in the general again.

Jones didn't back away from any of his core beliefs when he ran and won and isn't now.

Here in Pennsylvania, lots of people disagree with Sen Casey's personal opposition to abortion, but he comes by that honestly as part of his belief in the Catholic social teachings, and Pennsylvanians respect that.

So he might as well do what’s right.

This country needs some good news for a change.

The republican senate nominee will win by 15+, unless they nominate Moore again or something but that is unlikely.

...right him off. I think Jones might have a puncher’s chance against Sessions.

He either votes for impeachment and loses most of his crossover vote... or he votes against it and loses much of his base. And he's already down by several points in a poll released today (before he has to make the decision).

He beats Moore handily... but I don't see how Moore gets the nod.

Other than that, I can't think of anything that would make Sessions unpopular with Alabama voters

...that he cut & ran on Drump. Basically Moore and Sessions will be arguing who can give the best BJ to the orange twat.

half of trumpers hate Sessions and the other half hate moore. It will be interesting with Tuberville and Congressman Bradley Byrne in the race. With a 4 way split it's anybody's game but if moore or sessions slip by, Jones has a good chance.

Moore would be a push.

That's what it's going to come down to, issues be damned in their world. I'd love for some prankster to ask a question like: Would you give Trump a handjob if forgiveness from Jesus was included?

I'm an Alabamian and know people associated with the Doug Jones campaign. They are hopeful but when pressed will say it's an uphill battle. The stars aligned for Alabama Dems when Roy Moore was catapulted as the GOP senate nominee against Jones. That was the main reason Doug won. He had a wonderful campaign, of course, and ran as a centrist which helped. But in the end it was the nastiness of his GOP challenger that helped.

I think Doug will be up against Tommy Tuberville this time. Either Tommy or Sessions, but I think Sessions has been so ruined by Trump that even Trump can't bring him back. Tommy Tuberville is an ex Auburn coach who has a following of sorts. If Doug is up against him, Doug loses. Even Alabama fans will vote for Tuberville over Jones. I think Doug also loses to Sessions if Jeff becomes the GOP nominee.

It's bleak. I've encouraged all of my children to get as far away from this state as possible. That saddens me as a life long Alabamian but we can't pretend that Alabama is going to be purple any time in the near or even far future.

I have a feeling that it will not change.

of themselves???

Makes me want to donate to his campaign because THIS is exactly the kind of person we want in Congress. Someone who cares more about principles than about being reelected.

Thank you so much for posting this! Just that fact is inspirational.

I know it is Alabama, but we don't know the future.

Sessions had one foot in Hell and the other one in Satan's Outhouse while "serving" Trump.

If the Evangelicals have "a problem" it may get crazy.

Since most White Evangelicals ignore what Christ taught, and support Satan's Army (Republicans) something may break loose there.

The poor, the hungry, the needy? Republicans steal, and lose their children, while storing them in freezing cages.

I wish Democrats would simply point out how E-V-I-L Republicans are on a daily basis.

Zero Trump Supporting Republicans Will Go To Heaven.

of the country first.

Nice little slam against McConnell.
