Northam is killing us.

That is all...

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. He needs to go

[FreeState]

7. +1 n/t

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. Playing it down and begging for a chance to prove himself...sounds about white.

3. I said the same thing.

[manor321]

4. Yep. Queue the "both parties are the same" claim.

One asshole can set us back five years. Or more.

5. 'Had to turn it off after 30 sec. Too damned embarrassing/infuriating to watch

6. Republicans have "weaponized" him.

It's not Northam who's not just trying but determined to kill us, it's the ruthless people who've taken over the right.

As for how they would use him against us through November 2, 2020, trying to demoralize the weak spirited and split POC away, that's why our political pros immediately realized he needed to resign to spike this cannon. If Republicans get more power, what we lose will make us look back with longing to these two years. They're going after hard-right control of the courts and with it civil rights, Social Security. national healthcare. abortion and birth control, clean air and water laws, separation of church and state, and voting rights, among much else.

8. He would be replaced by a progressive African American.

[Hortensis]

9. Yes. A good, far more liberal lieutenant governor

would replace him so that VA would come out of this fine while the political storm moves on to other battlefields.

His new supposed realization that it couldn't be him in that photo complicates things, but it might gain time for the people of Virginia to weigh in for or against resignation. I've been thinking all along that he has a duty to to fulfill to them, not just the nation, the question being what those who voted for him believe that duty is.

10. It's the perfect solution waiting to happen

A Dem we can be proud of to hold the governorship of one our important and historic states.

We ought to keep up the pressure and it could be a matter of days if not hours. Northram has to be made to realize that even his current behavior is unacceptable making him unfit to lead.
