re: Doug Jones to vote to convict on both articles

A democrat won in Alabama. Ruby. Red. Alabama

No shat. You are again speaking of Moore vs Jones.

It’s not Moore vs. Jones this time. Jones also didn’t have a Congressional record.

He does now.

You know who else won ruby red Alabama? DJT. Moore just snapped the last thread he was hanging on by.

If it was 2016 again and the Mississippi Governor’s election was the same year, we would have a “moderate” dem as governor. The most popular dem that has held a statewide seat in decades.

But it wasn’t. It’s 2020 with 4 years of prosperity and the questions among republicans about Trump is no more. An unlikeable Tate Reeves was supposedly in the lead by the margin of error according to the polls.

Jim Hood lost by 7 points.

The likeable Sec of State? He skulldrug his opponent 20 plus points for LT. Gov. He won solid blue delta counties.

What does this mean? It means republicans voted for the “moderate” dem with no record. If he had 4 years of “resist” coming back home with him, well, it would have been ugly.

Jones is done. He’s pandering for a job now.

I believe he was about this far out for the 2017 race as well.

He was never this far out. He led the primary pretty much the entire time and he was up against one legitimate candidate (Strange) who was pretty flawed. That was a special election with low turnout which favored Moore’s base. This year, Moore has to overcome several strong candidates and the primary is on Super Tuesday.

I don’t know what else we have to say to show you this is an entirely different set of circumstances than 2017.
