Will Doug Jones speak at the 2020 Democratic National Convention?

[darklordoftech]

What's the liklihood of Doug Jones speaking at the 2020 Democratic National Convention?

[Beet]

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.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

If he wins.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

If he wins.

[Mr. Smith]

Which Jones was, minus the pro-life stance anyway.

[Sherrod Brown Shill]

If he loses (which I think is slightly more likely) then he probably won't be a relevant figure in 3 years. If he wins, then speaking at the convention will probably hurt his reelection, because the Republicans will paint him as a a super liberal who speaks at Dem conventions and votes for evil things and hates god.

Jones isn’t winning re-election unless the ALGOP nominates Roy Moore again.

Martha Roby and Luther Strange would likely lose to Jones. Someone like Brooks should win, though the race wouldn't be Safe R.

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...

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.

Doug Jones is an extremely strong candidate (besides his abortion stance; a pro-life Doug Jones would do 1.5-2% better). He's been working harder than I've seen any democrat work in a long time.

Let's be real: Alabama isn't voting for a democrat because they won't ever vote for a democrat. I live 10 minutes away from Alabama - I know these folks. They don't even mention "abortion" when they talk about what they don't like about Jones - they mention all this random "crime, immigration, etc". They would say that about every single democrat.

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.

[Suburbia]

Yes, if he is elected but by 2020, he may be the most vulnerable Democratic senator since he will be representing a very conservative state.

Jones is a moderate Southern Democrat. If he loses on Tuesday, he may be a future AG in a Democratic administration.

[Possiblymaybe]

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

Osoff and kander seems to be doing alright..

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

Kander served in a statewide office for 4 years.

Doesn't excite AfAm community and flip-flop.

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.

[TML]

In order for Jones to be a 2020 DNC speaker, the following conditions must be true:

(1) He wins this upcoming election.
(2) He is popular by the time the 2020 DNC rolls around.

If either of these conditions are not true, then he will almost certainly not be a 2020 DNC speaker.

[IceSpear]

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.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

If he wins then he will probably be invited to speak if not then he probably won’t speak.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Of course the nominee will speak at the convention.
