Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRalph Northam is a genius. The Trump way apparently works: deny, deny, deny and refuse to back down.
In 2019 it pretty much doesn't matter what you've done; if you have the spine, ego, or frankly gall to hold out for just a few days, the news cycle (and the people with it) always moves on.
Even Kavanugh went from America's most wanted serial gang-rapist to pretty much off the radar in a month or two.
When I think back to Weiner, Franken, etc. I wonder if they regret not giving it just a few more days. Something new ALWAYS comes along to distract the sheeple.

There's a caveat: it only works if you're white and male.

But both men and Fairfax' approval is in the shits. He might not have resigned but his career is in shambles.
