Last time, some Republicans sat home, and some held their nose and voted for Doug Jones, hoping he would be another conservative Democrat like WV's Manchin. Well Jones isn't a conservative, at all, and has been a pretty consistent liberal, especially on voting against Trump's federal judges. He will likely lose many Republican votes.

This time around Trump will also be on the ticket. The Republicans in Alabama love Trump. No one's staying home in November of 2020.
