Did he?

@Markus Anthony imagine the butthurt if Doug Jones turns out to be at least a more GOP oriented Senator than McCain

@FLanon Doug Jones' Trump score is 100% so far

Well shit

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/doug-jones/

actually, not recently

but he was at 100% for the first four votes

Huh, I wonder what he'd vote on w/ concern to immigration?

He has to realize that his seat's going to be taken when it comes up, right?

the thing is, if I were Doug Jones, I'd know I basically have no chance in 2020

so I'd just vote straight Dem all the way

but I don't think he'll do that

With this record, this is something interesting

he voted against the shutdown, which got leftists butthurt against him

Earlier you mentioned, as a joke, about a dem running and then betraying the party line

I think there's a nonzero chance that just happened

I'd have to see his vote on immigration before I make any real judgements, because that's always revealing, but this is definitely unprecedented

currently Jones is the most Trumpian out of all the D senators, but I wonder how that'll turn out

Maybe it has to do with time and all that

But damn

WV had someone flip

I think it was the governor

Yeah

@Markus Anthony I think Joe Manchin, the Democrat "blue dog" Senator, is considering switching

Jim Justice

Dem politicians in white working class areas are starting to see that the Dem party isnt a party for them anymore

Heitkamp should flip too

she really needs to

The fucking House Liberty Caucus is more leftist than Jones

@Markus Anthony I just hope the GOP properly funds their candidates like they're supposed to

they haven't been doing that in the special elections, to @🎃Boo-ton🎃 's dismay

We all wish for flips to happen and for politicians to give Schumer the middle finger but we can't count on that

I think it might be because they hold such strong majorities in state legislatures already that they don't care if Democrats pick up a few seats

they have the money compared to the DNC. but we know how they are since the Moore thing

What did Jones run on policy wise?

@Markus Anthony Yeah, but this year a bunch of establishment R's will be running

@FLanon he's in Alabama so he ran as a conservative Democrat

Did he even spout any of the left wing dogma or was it just anti-Moore

But heres the thing, the DNC money issue isn't the whole story, the story is that people arent donating to DNC but instead to local groups or special interest groups

There is still the money out there, just not in the DNC bank account
