Pretty hilarious given that this state elected a relatively liberal Democratic Senator last year. Anyway, Likely R.
If Luther Strange was the GOP nominee in AL last year , Jones would have lost by double digits
Not this nonsense again.
I guess we'll have to hear this myth for many years to come, just like the one that without Perot's candidacy Poppy Bush would have won.
It's not a myth. There is absolutely nothing special about Doug Jones; he was just another sacrificial lamb plucked off the street who lucked out by having the good fortune to run against an accused pedophile. He would've been blown out, probably in the neighborhood of 60-40, by literally
anyone else.
This is Alabama. An uninspiring and lackluster generic R is about to crush an A-list democratic recruit in the governor's race, do we really think that Jones won the senate race on his own merits? The idea is laughable; all it amounts to is an attempt to hoist a Democratic folk hero higher up on his pedestal.
