Sen.-elect Doug Jones (D-AL) on Wednesday said he received a “very gracious” call from President Donald Trump congratulating him on his upset victory, but he has not spoken with Republican opponent Roy Moore, who has not conceded yet.

“It was a very gracious call. I very much appreciated it,” Jones said at a press conference of his call with Trump. “He congratulated me on the race that we won. He congratulated me and my staff on the way and the manner in which we handled this campaign and went forward.”

Jones said he and Trump “talked about finding common ground to work together.”

“He invited me over to the White House to visit as soon as I get up there,” Jones said. “So it was a very nice phone call, a very pleasant phone call, and I appreciated him very much reaching out to me.”

1. He invited you to the white house?.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Maybe someone slipped him a Xanax in his Diet Coke.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes they are giving him something, probably stronger than Xanax.

In the past 24 hrs he has made one nice phone call and one nice tweet.
Has to be a record for him.

2. Kelly the nanny must have told Trump to make the call. IMHO.

3. That says a lot about Moore

Trump has better manners than he does.

[yardwork]

17. I was just thinking that! When even Trump has better manners...

[sarge43]

19. Ayup

You have to dig below the magma layer to get under that bar.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. So Roy Moore makes Trump look gracious and mature by way of comparison.

Impressive. Most impressive.

[disalitervisum]

5. And he won't hear from "judge" Moore either, probably ever.

This prick Moore is the kind that denies gravity exists, even as it crushes him.

7. And the butter up job begins

They can enjoy the most beautiful chocolate cake and he may even let Jones have 2 scoops!

8. Said the Spider to the Fly

Trump called Jones a puppet.

Now he’s trying to play nice to get his vote.

Sad.

[NastyRiffraff]

10. He's listening to Cory Gardner

Trump probably believes that Jones will "do the right thing" and vote with Senate Republicans. Doug Jones seems like a smart guy who can use this opportunity to play Trump like a

[Dopers_Greed]

9. Sore Loser Moore

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Beware demands for loyalty

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. After all the shit trump threw at Jones?

It truly is that it's all theater, a big act. It's like, "Jonesy, welcome to the club, that was all just acting".

[cab67]

13. Moore didn't want to cancel his victory celebration

at the local mall food court.

[rpannier]

14. A Call Jones will never receive either

I expect we'll be reading more about the child molester as he appears on the Alex Jones show, as well as other completely out there youtube shows. Maybe they can blame Atheist, Gay, Lizard People and their Chemtrails

15. "Common ground" ???

That would be somewhere between the U.S. and Russia?

[ProfessorGAC]

18. No, It Means One of Two Things

One: "Please vote for something that helps me get a win."

Two: "You got lucky, so you should pledge your undying loyalty to my greatness."

Neither common ground will be found.
