Will Doug Jones speak at the 2020 Democratic National Convention?

[IceSpear]

If he wins, he might. otherwise he'll be a nobody by 2020.

I mean, it's not like the conventions don't have a lot of "nobody" speakers...

After he loses he will get Ossoff'ed. If the Democrats had nominated a (white male) populist for the seat, was the only way they were ever going to have a chance.

That's the issue that a lot of people don't understand about elections in the South. Had the Democratic Party nominated an Alabama-style Democrat, this election would've been in the bag. Why aren't we pursuing the 50-state strategy again?

I'm pretty sure Doug Jones would've done better against Bentley than "Alabama-style Democrat" Parker Griffith did in 2014. Of course, that's not saying very much.

Bentley was a significantly stronger candidate in 2014 than Moore is today.

I know. I'm saying if Jones ran in 2014, he would've done better than Griffith. Or at the very least did the same. Because Griffith basically hit the Democratic floor, about the same as some dude marijuana legalization activist Ron Crumpton did in 2016. Being an "Alabama-style Democrat" did squat for his chances.

Actually, how did Griffith manage to do so badly? He barely cracked 35% and lost Jefferson County.

Because he's a joke. The biggest swings to Bentley were in his former district, lol.

And yeah, it's pretty pathetic that he lost Jefferson County when even Crumpton won it.

Did you guys watch the same DNC I did? Even if/when Jones loses, there were tons of speakers way more irrelevant than him. Unless you're all referring to prime time or keynote speeches.

[IceSpear]

Of course the nominee will speak at the convention.

Will Ossoff be VP?
