WASHINGTON – Sen. Doug Jones, a key Senate Democrat considered one of the chamber's most endangered senators going into the 2020 race, found some of the arguments made by"persuasive" and highlighted concerns he has over the second article of impeachment.
Jones' vote on impeachment likely won't determine Trump's fate. To remove the president from office, a supermajority of 67 senators would have to vote to convict the president. But in 2020, Jones faces an uphill battle as he fends off Republicans, including Jeff Sessions, who held the seat before serving as Trump's attorney general.Democratic Sen. Doug Jones may vote against convicting Trump in impeachment if 'dots aren't connected'
"I think the arguments they're making on Article II are much more persuasive than Article I," he said."And Article I, they're focusing solely on the [July 25th call] transcript and there's so much more to the story than the transcript, and they continue to talk about cross-examination of witnesses but yet they continue to block witnesses that have first-hand knowledge. That's disingenuous.

He needs to be out now. There is no reason for someone to just do what ever the hell he wants to do just because he is the President.

This is where Jones pretends to be stupid to appease Alabama voters before he votes to convict. realDonaldTrump’s defense what a joke for the ages. His vote may cost him his seat though.
Trump will not be convicted. Trump will not be removed from office. Sane Americans tried to tell you this months ago. I know it’s difficult but its time to put your impeachment fantasies away and face reality. We’re here for you, so go ahead and cry it out.
