NC Governor Roy Cooper should be on the 2020 Democratic Presidential Ticket-Here is why

1)Cooper can turn NC and FL into blue states and put GA in play.
2)Cooper is pro choice, pro gun rights-but supports gun restriction, pro gay marraige, pro environment, supports higher taxes on the wealthy-go to ontheissues.org
3)NC Democrats can select NC Attorney General Josh Stein to be the 2020 Democratic nominee for Governor. Jeff Jackson for Attorney General, Grier Martin for Lt Governor, and Anthony Foxx for US Senate.

Currently the GOP has veto proof majorities in the legislature and thus the policies of the state are largely theirs and not his. Given how awful they are (both the legislators and the policies) I don't see how this record can be run on.

The rational of putting Cooper on the ticket is too help Democrats with white working class voters and help Democrats carry NC,GA,and FL.
Helping Democrats regain control of the NC state legislature will take 2 cycles- 2018 and 2020.
