Crazy? Genius? Democrat Vernon Jones' right-wing exit strategy

[tulipsandroses]

Good read on his motives for endorsing Trump

Jones is feeling the heat in his very Democratic, very African-American district. He has a solid challenger, Rhonda Taylor, who went to a runoff with him in 2016. They face each other in the June 9 Democratic primary.
Now, one could scratch one’s head and wonder the logic, or sanity, of a Democratic candidate publicly pushing for Trump in a district that Hillary won 74% to 24%. And that 74-24 was in the general election. I’d wager Democratic voters in the upcoming primary would be at least 90-10 anti-Trump.

Jones’ move is largely an exit strategy. In reality, the ever-ambitious Jones has run out of runway with the Democratic Party in Georgia. He’s seen as a pain in the keister and few want him around. There really is no future for him there.

1. Vernon Jones is a opportunistic jackass

I live in Dekalb County, and he was CEO.

He was kicked out of office following several allegations (including rape and pulling a gun on a woman).

While in office, he also endorsed GW Bush for president.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

2. He resigned then rescinded his resignation. Stable genius. He's a perennial skank

who has no morals or ethics.
