AL-SEN 2020: Doug Jones vs. The Entire Political Establishment of Alabama

[Rookie Yinzer]

He is not going to survive with Donald Trump on the ballot.

Hopefully he's our next AG.

Scott Brown, 2010-2012...that is all. No difference.

Yup. Likely R.

Scott Brown lost fairly narrowly in a decently democratic year.

He lost while Obama carried Massachusetts by 23 points, somewhat akin to what we could expect in regards to Trump with Alabama.

Yes, but Obama won by 4 nationwide. If Trump was winning by the same margin, Jones would probably lose. Trump isn't going to do nearly that well, however.

Trump won Alabama by 28 points while losing nationwide by 2. That’s a higher hill to climb than Scott Brown had.

This race is Safe R barring Republicans nominating another child molester or Grand Wizard (which we shouldn’t put past them). And for everyone citing “muh approvals”, Scott Brown had a 60% approval rating and still lost by 8 points lol

When Jones won his race was the only thing on the ballot so hard R’s turned off by Moore could stay home. Jones is not going to overcome being on the ballot with the President and a slew of other races. He’s not going to win. Honestly if Moore had handled his scandal with just a smidgen more tact he probably would have won. Jones is toast.
