After reading last night a few thoughts around the internet we heard some great points.
We'll run them through our own brain...
[what brain?-Ed]
...and regurgitate them here.
Jones' win in deep red Alabama closely parallels Scot Brown's win in Deep blue MA in 2010.
That year the catalyst for the upcoming election vaporization for the Dems was Obamacare. We now suspect the tax reform bill can do the same thing.
Obama and the Dems did not heed the warnings delivered by Brown's senate win and Chris Christies' victory in NJ. Will Trump and the GOP take notice?
Not every state up in 2018 has a 30% black electorate. In those that do the Dems should be able to recreate this turnout model. Remember again the Dems are super-motivated. Trump and co. better make sure their people are super motivated.
After this, one must seriously reconsider Bannonism-Breitbartism. Someone else pointed out that Turmpism only works if you're running against Hillary!
Many caveats about Jones' victory are true. But the most important fact is Jones' victory is a disaster for the GOP, though temporary. He will be defeated in 2020. Before then the GOP is looking at a bloodbath in 2018.
