Ralph Northam 2020?

[Confused Democrat]

Thoughts?

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

no his campaign was pretty underwhelming lol. he benefited from a lot of enthusiasm though which transferred into a bunch of democratic pickups in the virgina HoD.

[PragmaticPopulist]

Tonight proved that Bernie bros have it wrong, and that the center-left is where the majority of the country is at.

[Maxwell]

I like Ralph Northam - he has a storied past of being a very genuine and honorable person - but I feel like, in terms of political goals, I would like a more left-wing Democratic nominee.

Tonight proved that Bernie bros have it wrong, and that the center-left is where the majority of the country is at.

It’s been crystal clear given Northam’s win over Periello and landslide over Gillespie that moderate Third Wayism wins out over far left Bernie-ism.

Berniecrats have NOTHING to show for themselves but moral victories. You can’t live off daddy’s credit card forever little kids.

LOL whatever the corporatist Clintonian shills need to tell themselves in order to sleep at night. Northam should have won this race by at least double digits with Trump in the White House, but he failed to do even that much! Perriello was obviously the best choice but the Virginia Democratic establishment rigged it against him.

If anything, Democratic Socialist Lee Carter's win over GOP Del. Jackson Miller in Manassas shows that Berniecrats are right on the direction the Democratic Party needs to head in.

If he's a decent Governor, he would be a good running mate for someone like Kamala Harris.

Northam blew Gillespie out by 9 points, but you still want to take the "Perriello would have done better" angle. why so bitter?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I like Ralph. I think he would make an excellent running-mate to Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Elizbeth Warren, or Joe Biden.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

He'll probably be a sh!tty Governor, so no.

[Maxwell]

oh dear god shut up for once

cuck centrists AND bernie bros won tonight. stop being so petty.

7/7 in Somerville, Mass. 3/4 in Virginia. DSA Lee carter defeating GOP Whip. Andre Jenkins becoming the 1st transgender woman in MN & so on. And ofcourse Larry Krasner is the DA now.

This has to be one of the best results downballot for Berniecrats & a fantastic day. Nothing to be unhappy about. Northam was fighting on a 15$ Min Wage & was forced to move left on many issues. Besides Virginia is a safe D state where any Democrat will win.

Berniecrats should really be happy with today's performance.

Listen here Berniecrat, I’m sorry BERNIE LOST, PERIELLO LOST, ELLISON LOST, EVERYONE FROM YOUR SIDE ALWAYS LOSES.

MAYBE IF YOU GUYS COULD WIN SOMETHING FOR ONCE WE WOULD TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

Obama was a charismatic neoliberal and won.

Bill Clinton was a charismatic neoliberal and won.

Centrism actually wins. Couple that with being a cool person and that’s the path to a super majority.

I like how you conveniently left out HILLARY CLINTON who lost to DONALD TRUMP of all people!!!

Not to mention, under the fake liberal Obama, the Democratic Party suffered huge losses at every level.

The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency.

SO DON'T CONDESCEND TO ME ABOUT WINNING ELECTIONS!

Don't even get me started on the DNC rigging the primaries against Sanders. The Donna Brazile bombshell speaks VOLUMES about the unethical and immoral ways of the neoliberal Democratic establishment shills.

[Suburbia]

Northam would be a good VP, but he may be another Kaine. A milquetoast Virginia centrist Democrat (Warner, Kaine, McAuliffe, Northam).

[Edgeofnight]

Ralph is undoubtedly the best candidate for 2020. He generated so much strong down ballot coattails, he would help the Democrats take the house and the senate and the fact that he won Virginia beach shows he can win cross over votes, so he can probably win Kentucky and Indiana. He is the only one who can heal this nation!!1!!

Governor Ralph Northam/Governor Phil Murphy vs Donald Drumpf/ Mike Pence

[NewYorkExpress]

I'd rather run Phil Murphy. Of the two 2017 winners, Murphy seems like more of a progressive...he just has that Goldman Sachs background holding him back (which in and of itself may be lethal in a primary).

[Kamala]

we had a good thing for like... 3 hours... and now the democrats are going at each other again instead of, you know, the Republicans?

[Senator-elect Spark]

Centrists are way to go for Dems

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Besides Virginia is a safe D state where any Democrat will win.

That's quaint. It's likely D at best. Clinton won by 5, and she was perfect for the state. Northam won by 9, showing that his brand of moderate liberalism works. However, VA is not anything like a CA/HI/MD/MA yet.

[heatcharger]

No. First thing we get passed in the 2018 session in VA is to remove the gubernatorial term limit. Then he can run for re-election in 2021.

RALPH NORTHAM REKT TOM PERIELLO WHO WAS THE BERNIECRAT AND LANDSLIDED THE GOP YOU FOOL

THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS RIGGED LIKE EVERY OTHER DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY!

[Kingpoleon]

A Ralph Northam/Hilda Solis, Hakeem Jeffries, or Susan Rice ticket sounds pretty good to me.

THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN RIGGED WAS THE GENERAL ELECTION LAST YEAR BY RHSSIA

Lol that's just an excuse that corporate Democrat shills use to justify Shillary Clinton's loss against Donald Trump. Just admit that Hillary Clinton was a bad candidate, and that she lost fair and square!

If Hillary had a message for the white working class and actually paid attention to the Midwest, maybe we wouldn't have Donald Trump as our President!

okay I'll amen to that.

[Pyro]

Downballot Bernie Dems did very well, as did Democrats in general tonight.
This was an anti-Trump(ism) election. It didn't really matter what kind of Democrat they were.
Northam would not win nor be nominated for president in any circumstance.
