If Jones only wins by less than 2% against a literal pedophile, any non-pedophile candidate(and likely Roy Moore too if he ran again but that would at least narrow the odds) would win the seat. While Jones could, possibly, keep it to single digits, he probably won't. This isn't to diminish the significance of him beating Moore, but Alabama is still Alabama. Jones isn't even a moderate good ol boy like Manchin, he is a pretty standard liberal Democrat(and perhaps otherwise he would have won by a bit more, but this is Alabama). December 2017 was truly exceptional circumstances, Jones may be a good candidate but Alabama in a presidential election against a non-pedophile Republican is virtually impossible for him, or any Democrat, to win, and so most likely it's a double digit loss. Likely R, not quite Safe yet because Doug could have luck go his way again but I highly doubt the stars will align for him as they did in December 2017(of course his own effort was critical in actually winning it, but still)
