If Roy Moore wins the GOP primary in Alabama, does Doug Jones have a chance?

[Casprings]

Anyone here from Alabama that could inform? Doug Jones seems about right for a democratic Alabama. Former US attorney, etc. http://dougjonesforsenate.com

If this goes to Roy Moore and Trump continues to tank (which starts to means something in Alabama eventually), does he have a chance in December?

Edit: To all of you saying "no way in hell", I will point out that he lost big every time he ran for governor in the GOP primary. In 2012, when he became Chief Justice, he almost lost to a democrat in that race (https://ballotpedia.org/Alabama_judicial_elections,_2012). If you want to win, you have to fight.

1. It's Alabama

any Republiscum running is thr favorite.

Even a religious nut job.

3. Yes. Certainly. But shit happens.

And he seems like a pretty decent candidate.

2. Not in the Alabama of the South.... ;) NT

6. There's a line from ARCHER that goes with that...

...but due to its context, I doubt it would be appropriate here..

10. Can you at least tell us which episode?

Because all I can think of at the moment is "A female chauffeur is called a chauffeuse!"

14. I'll pm you about it.

I don't remember the episode title, but I can describe the scene.

11. Al Abama

4. oh come on, Alabama!

Don't put this religious nutcase in the Senate. We already have too many of those.

5. Are you saying Roy Moore would be the strongest GOP candidate, or the weakest?

n/t.

[Casprings]

9. Weakest..

Dude came in third in every GOP primary for governor and almost lost his Chief Justice race to a democratic in 2012. https://ballotpedia.org/Alabama_judicial_elections,_2012

7. No way in hell

And I literally mean hell. Satan himself could run as a republican in this state and he'd be elected in a landslide.

8. Doug Jones sounds good.

He was very clear about being for civil rights in his bio. Mentioned a bombing at an abortion clinic, so he seems to be ok with a woman choosing.

12. He was the prosecutor for the church bombing

Our only gay elected official is campaigning heavily for him and he has tons of support in the LGBT community if that means anything to you.

He has to beat Kennedy to go against Moore though and that is still up in the air. The 7 dems are splitting the votes in a most inconvenient way.

15. Yes, but none of that gets him elected in Alabama

13. If a Republican can win a US Senate Race in MA then a Democrat can win a US Senate Race in AL

Obama won MA in 2008 by a 26 percent margin,2012 by a 23 percent margin,Clinton won MA in 2016 by a 27 percent margin.
Clinton lost AL in 2016 by a 28 percent margin. Is Moore-R a stronger campaigner than Coakley-D?

16. Interesting Point that I had not really thought of

Scott Brown was elected at the Republican High Water Mark when the Teabaggers were in all of their power and glory. The Republican Party is currently at its Low Water Mark with Trump leading them. They are both special elections with odd voting patterns. I still think anyone with an R behind their name in Alabama wins state wide, but, there is always a punchers chance.

BTW, people love to shit on Martha Casey, she was not as awful as some would have you believe.
