We don’t have to do this. The media doesn’t have to do this. You don’t have to do this.
Tommy Tuberville is not Roy Moore.
However, U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) is still Doug Jones.
I have been over this multiple times: Doug Jones didn’t win in 2017. Roy Moore lost.
Black women didn’t push Doug Jones over the top. Republicans stayed home and let him win. 2020 is not 2017.
Doug Jones will lose. My two-year-old could beat him.
The idea that Jones is leading Tuberville comes from one source — Doug Jones. It was then amplified by many sources.
These same sources pushing this clearly unrealistic situation refuse to cover the clear wrongdoing by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son. But, they ignore these stories for the same reason.
Tuberville responded with four polls of his own refuting Jones’ poll.
I have obtained @TTuberville internal polling memo that strongly rebuts the below internal from Jones camp.
(Note: Moore Information'd polling was very accurate for Tuberville in primary & runoff. This latest tracks w/ all independent polling in the general.) #ALSen #alpolitics https://t.co/kuOkslr6k1 pic.twitter.com/G3pNvqmbwR

Tuberville is now fundraising off of the Jones poll, while the folks at Alabama Media Group tell you they don’t understand what is happening.
He’s trolling and fundraising.
Seriously, they are telling you they don’t get it. Believe them.
The media and their Democrats need to build a narrative of inevitability for Joe Biden winning the presidency.
Every year, Georgia is in play, but for real this time.
Every year, Texas is in play, but for real this time.
Now, even Alabama’s Senate seat is in play. Of course, it is not.
What exactly is the reason that an Alabama voter would go from voting for Donald Trump’s reelection to voting for Doug Jones’ reelection?
What issues do they share in common?
Taxes? No.
Abortion? No.
Healthcare? No.
Gun rights? No.
Supreme Court picks? No.
Hunter Biden’s laptop? Doubtful.
This is embarrassing and simple.

Doug Jones will lose. Period.
It will be a double-digit loss; if it is any closer, consider that a win for the Democrats. Then, we can all get ready for the media to tell you that Walt Maddox, Randall Woodfin or Steven Reed will be the next governor because the state is turning purple. For real this time. Honest.
