Would this be a strong ticket? Raphael Warnock (D-GA)/Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN)

[WalterWhite]

Should the Democrats have all-Southern tickets? One possible all-Southern ticket, Warnock/Ford Jr., seems particularly strong; in combination, these two candidates would provide a numerous advantages not replicable by other candidates.

• Ideological balance: Raphael Warnock appeals to more progressive Democrats, and Harold Ford Jr. appeals to more conservative Democrats (i.e. Blue Dog Democrats). Having both on the ticket could unify these two wings of the Democratic Party.
• Geographic advantage: Raphael Warnock and Harold Ford Jr. are both Southern Democrats. The South has, in recent years, been one of the weakest regions of the Democratic Party. Having an all-Southern ticket could help the Democratic Party in this region of the country.

Would this be a strong ticket? How would such a ticket perform in a real general election?

I don’t think America is ready for an all Black ticket just yet, and the fact that Ford hasn’t held elected office in over 16 years hurts also

What about a Raphael Warnock (D-GA)/Mike Beebe (D-AR) ticket? It still provides the advantages of an all-Southern ticket, and it still provides ideological balance; but Mike Beebe has actually won a statewide office.

Warnock? Absolutely. Ford or Beebe? No. Roy Cooper? Absolutely.

[Vice President Christian Man]

I think Roy Cooper would make a great running mate or Jon Ossoff. Warnock wouldn't be a bad pick but he has too much baggage with the allegations of domestic abuse.

Warnock would be a great candidate, but if he picked Ford as his running mate, everyone would think he has lost his mind.  It would be worse than McCain picking Palin.

hahahhaha I hope they do this ticket!!!

[Pres Mike]

Why are on Earth would Warnock pick a guy who lost a senate race 17 years ago? Bob Corker, the guy who beat him, isn't even in office anymore.

Ford also met with Trump in 2016 for a job.

[ReaganLimbaugh]

Strong for the Republicans.
