WHAT IS THIS? – AT 1:53 A.M. ET:  Reality strikes the new senator from Alabama.  Quick, call a doctor.  Or a liberal journalist.  From the New York Post: 

WASHINGTON – Senator-elect Doug Jones is already breaking with some prominent Democrats by refusing to call for President Trump to step down over ongoing sexual harassment allegations.

“I don’t think that the president ought to resign at this point,” Jones (D-Ala.) told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

In his first round of Sunday show interviews since securing a stunning victory in red state Alabama over accused sexual predator Roy Moore, Jones said he doesn’t want to get bogged down in Trump’s sexual harassment allegations and would rather work on “real issues.”

“I think we need to move on and not get distracted by those issues,” Jones added. “Let’s get on with the real issues that are facing the people of this country right now.”

That’s at odds with some high-profile Democrats like Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) and Cory Booker (NJ) who believe the president should step down because at least 19 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.

Unlike other politicians who have stepped down, like Sen. Al Franken and Rep. John Conyers, Jones said the difference is the voters knew about these allegations and still elected Trump to the highest office.

COMMENT:  In their ecstasy over Jones's election, liberals forgot that he represents Alabama, one of the most conservative states in the Union.  He's got to be careful, as he wants to be elected to a full term.  He was just elected to fill the unexpired term of Jeff Sessions, who resigned from the Senate to become attorney general.  Jones will have to run again in 2020.
