Mark Kirk(R-IL) was elected in Solid Democratic Illinois in 2010 against a tarnished Democratic opponent. In 2016, Kirk(R-IL) lost re-election by a 15 percent margin against a sitting Democratic US House member.
Could Doug Jones(D-AL) lose re-election in 2020 by a double digit margin against a non controversial top tier Republican challenger?
