I just make an additional $60.00 campaign contribution to the Doug Jones Campaign plus

$7.00 to actblue.
We cannot let this bigot Judge Roy Moore be in the US Senate!
We also need to defeat Ted Cruz-TX and Marsha Blackburn or Stephen Fincher-TN in 2018!
We also need to prevent FL Governor Rick Scott-R from defeating FL US Senator Bill Nelson!

It would wake up every Dotard/Bannon-fearing moderate Republican coast-to-coast!

We can expect a deluge of twice-removed Judge Moore negative ads and holy-shit revelations right up to the December 12th election, so much that God-fearing Christians would consider it a 'sin' to vote for Moore right before Christmas!

Thanks for the contribution!!!

Jones-D will lose re-election in 2020 if he runs for re-election because the AL Republicans will not be stupid again to nominate a nut job like Moore-R. AL Republicans are going to nominate a mini Shelby in 2020 if they want to win or a mini Sessions if they want to pander to the right wing base and avoid any embarrassment.
Jones (D-AL) will have to move to another state to run run for the US Senate. Example-Brown (R-MA) moved to NH to run for the US Senate in 2014 after losing re-election in the 2012 MA US Senate Election.
Before carpetbagging to another state, Jones (D-AL) will first run for the AL US Senate Seat in 2022 against Shelby -R( Example 2008 AK US Senate Race without the criminal record) or a generic Republican (Jones-D is going to have an advantage over the generic Republican due to high name recognition) and win. 2022 is a midterm election. If Trump/Pence is in office in 2022, Jones-D wins. If Trump/Pence is out of office in 2022, Jones-D wins against Shelby-R but loses to the generic Republican.
If Jones-D loses the 2022 AL US Senate Election, he is likely to carpetbag to MS in 2024 and run for the US Senate in MS.
Jones-D US Senate Predictions(Option 1)
2017 AL- hoping for a win.
2020 AL- expecting a loss.
2022 AL- hoping for a comeback but not sure whether it will be a win or a loss.
If Jones-D wins the 2022 AL US Senate Election, he will be in the US Senate until the 2028 elections. Hoping for AL to be less conservative by 2028.
If Jones-D loses the 2022 AL US Senate Election, he will carpetbag to MS in 2024 to run against Wicker-R or 2026 to run against Cochran-R. This is assuming MSAG Jim Hood is not a candidate either of those MS Races.
If Jones loses in December of this year, he should seek a re-match in 2020.
If Jones wins the 2020 rematch, he'd be in the US Senate until the 2026 elections. Hoping for AL to be less conservative by 2026.
If Jones loses the 2020 rematch, his only option is to run again in 2022.
Jones-D US Senate Predictions (Option 2)
2017 AL- expecting a loss.(Strike 1)
2020 AL- hoping for a comeback but expecting a loss (Strike 2)
2022 AL- hoping for a comeback but expecting a loss (Strike 3)
Jones-D is out of AL and into MS.
2024 MS- hoping for a comeback but expecting a loss (Strike 1)
2026 MS- hoping for a comeback .

He filled a void left by an Alabama Democratic Party in shambles.

The only thing that matters here is the opportunity December 12th to knock off presumptive favorite Roy Moore.

It will be a referendum on Alabama Republican Party corruption and incompetence, and the effectiveness of nominating rightwing fringe extremists even here in Alabama.

The lesson for southern Democrats is that - if we win - a "good" candidate can knock off a "bad" candidate regardless of political party strength.
