Could the Democrats' search for a candidate to take on Donald Trump lead them to North Carolina?
Gov. Roy Cooper made it sound as though he thinks he'd be a sought-after candidate at some point, anyway during a Politico event at Duke University on Thursday.
Cooper also offered a take or two distancing himself from the Trump administration.
When the event moderator asked Cooper which Democratic candidates should run for the presidency, Cooper replied, "Being the governor of a swing state, Im sure I'll get some calls."

They’ll nominate a white Southern male?
It ain’t gonna happen.

The good news is, he’s delusional!
Yea, I don’t think a white Southern male could win the modern day Democratic Party presidential nomination.
Unless he does well with black and Latino voters.
Didn’t this guy win by the skin of his teeth? Now he’s acting like he’s super popular and won by universal acclaim and is a viable presidential candidate?
Cooper pulled the rug out from underneath the Duke Lacrosse frame.
No way the black lives matter crowd would allow him to campaign without a freak show of protestors. As far as any national aspirations go, he’s toast.
One year from now:
Cooper (sitting beside phone): “Wonder when it’s going to ring???”
What if he's a fag or a pedophile or holds the world record for committing the most abortions in a single year? You're assuming since he's a white male he couldn't appeal to 'rats based on other things 'rats hold near and dear.
state govt call in numbers for various small business services has already started going to hell and with “attitude” by those taking the calls...they are all better than the typical born and bred North Carolinian....you can just tell by their “lip”. And they are the GOVT and never wrong. Wasn’t that way under the previous republican governor. But he wasn’t a great communicator and they (dems) trumped up the gay bathroom (shit) right out of the the 22012 dem convention held in CLT when all the gays move in and took over there. Now with that pocket and the triangle pocket Raleigh, Durham Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill the Liberal cesspool of all that sucks in NC) is turning the state into little DC like VA!! God this place was once a great state and now...
Cooper won by DNC keeping polling places open in Durham for extra hours to facilitate fraud. He was a lousy A G here in NC and is keeping that record as governor.
