Yeah of course Jones/JBE 2020. Two southerners like in 92. /End sarcasm Do people really think blue dogs will be any where near the national ticket in 2020? Have they looked at the Democratic electorate anytime in the last 20 years?
By what standard is Doug Jones a blue dog? Based on what I've read of his website and Wikipedia article, he seems like he'd at least be to the left of the median Democratic Senator (which doesn't say a lot, but still, a far cry from Blue Dog)
Indeed, he's like Scott Brown in Massachusetts compared to Kay Bailey Hutchison (Kirsten Gillibrand) or Lindsey Graham (Tim Kaine).
I think a lot of people assume all White Southern Democrats elected (not Jones quite yet, but you get the point) from the Deep South have got to be the same, which obviously ignores a history of some rather "liberal" Democrats from the region back in the day.
