Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) suggests that Doug Jones (D-AL) change his party affiliation to the GOP.

On 'Morning Joe' today, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) - chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee - suggested that Alabama Senator-elect Doug Jones (D-AL) affiliate himself with the "true representative party of Alabama," the GOP.

I suggest that Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), the senior US Senator from Alabama, re-affiliate himself with the party that got him into national office in the first place (1978): the Democratic Party.

Cory, put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.

1. He'll do that when Trump released his tax returns.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Haha!... IOW, NEVER!!

[avebury]

3. Is it true that Shelby might not be running for re-election?

If so there is nothing for him to lose by re-affiliating himself with the Democratic Party.

[oberliner]

13. He would be 88

4. After the results of yesterday's vote in AL, many of the GOP Senators, like him, might want to swap.

5. When is this slime up? Time to take his seat, too.

[SharonClark]

6. The repugs, including self-righteous Chris Shays, has been all over the media

spouting similar nonsense because they think the Dems will push Jones too far to the left.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. But nobody seems to worry

about Republicans pushing their people too far to the right? Why is it that only Dems seem to get this sort of treatment?


I'm sure Jones knows Alabama and how best to represent the state better than any of those mushy talking heads.

8. Maybe Gardner should change *his* party affiliation ...

so he can truly represent his "blue" state.

[David__77]

9. I suggest that Cory Gardner leave the senate.

And that the Democratic governor of Colorado name a Democrat to replace him.

[NCTraveler]

10. They simply assume people are traitors.

Projection at its best.

[Irish_Dem]

11. They've stolen everything else, I guess Dem congress critters are next. :(

Figures.

[book_worm]

12. You know they will try to get him to do this. He has to remember who elected him

and that "the true representative party of Alabama" nominated Roy Moore to begin with. Hey, I know that Jones won't be a Massachusetts or NY liberal, but hopefully he will be with the democrats enough to hinder the Trump agenda.
