Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire An honest question about Cuomo

I've been hearing all this hype about Andrew Cuomo lately. Folks are saying that Biden is deteriorating so much that he won't be viable by the convention. My opinion was he wasn't viable before 2008, but what do I know? Cuomo is being touted as the most likely guy to come in at the last minute and take the nomination and go on to beat Trump in November.

Here's what I do not understand: Cuomo's state is right now a cesspool of Covid-19. You can blame some of that on deBlasio, but an astute guy like Cuomo could have closed the bridges leading out of NYC. There's all sorts of things he could have done to minimize the spread of the virus in his state, but he didn't. Now he's the Democrat's top pick?

Here's one place where the numbers don't lie. When there are refugees flooding out of a guy's state and his neighbors are trying round them up and send them back, you don't go saying "This is the guy for me!"

Optics? I've tried to stay on top of all this. I'm over 60 and I've got a bunch of complications; if it hits me, I'll be one they put off to the side on a gurney in the hall. I watch this stuff intently. Optics? Cuomo screams that the Feds need to build him hospitals right frickin' now. Trump says he'll send a hospital ship to NYC. How come Andrew can't build his own frickin' hospitals? How long does building a hospital take (versus pulling a hospital ship into the harbor). To me, Cuomo has been a day late and a dollar short on all this from the get-go, and if memory serves me, he was poo-pooing the problem back over the winter.

Why is this the guy I should dump Trump for? How is he somehow better than Joe or Bernie or Fauxcahontas? Is it becaus he somehow looks Presidential? Is it because his feelings are in the right place? What? Tell me? What's this guy got that DJT doesn't?

. . . well, besides a brother that works at CNN.

Please, someone point me in the right direction.

It's going to be Hillary. NFW will she let anyone else have it

Good!
I’d love to see her lose again!

Cuomo had the chance to buy ventilators for the people of NY, he declined and instead invested in the liberal agenda.

Cuomo needs to continue to snivel in place.

The hospital ship is on it's way. It left Norfolk, VA yesterday. They're putting it in a cruise ship birth but they have to dredge it a little to get enough depth. I can't find any word on when it will arrive. The ship will be handling NON-CV19 cases to take the load off the city hospitals.

As far as Cuomo goes, the Dems are desperate for ANYONE who might have a long shot at beating Trump. They don't have a single viable candidate at this time.

Cuomo is a lot of things including a class A POS, but I don't think he's stupid. I've believed for a long time he is setting himself up for a run in 2024 when he has a good chance of winning. I don't think he's going to let the DNC draft him to run against Trump.

True story. ^


Cuomo is worse than bloomberg and better at hiding it.

Reasonably astute. ^


It wont be him in 2020.
He is a POS
Many will be fooled that he isnt a POS becuase he has political instinct.
Just remember, he's a POS.

Cuomo is gender challenged. What a do nothing Whiny Bitch, just like his father.

Not a sailor, but if the ship can't make that run in less than 30 hours I would be surprised.
Dredging takes time.
We have heard for a week about the 2 hospital ships getting ready to go U/W.

NY is bankrupt

Sure, let's put him in charge of the country...

It arrives Monday and will begin taking patients Tuesday.

I think 2024 is when he will try. Trump knows all of Andys crimes and faults.

This, among other things. he has no record to run on. Our state has been at the top for residents leaving for the last several years, to the tune of 80,000 a year. Cuomo says it is because of the weather, obviously has nothing to do with him running the state into the ground, LOL! NYC thinks he is great, pretty much all of upstate has no use for him. Which is a big reason he chose not to run, upstate is pretty much like middle america. He can't win that vote. This gushing the media is doing over him right now isn't enough to eclipse his record, and middle America isn't really interested in a NYC liberal being President when it comes down to it.

i don't like that SOB but i can't see that he did anything different than any other governor would have. can you imagine if he had closed NYC weeks ago when it would have made a difference? the public outcry would have been deafening. this is the same as blaming trump for not reacting in time. who the hell would have thought this would happen like this? i blame the f ucken chinese. they live like animals in a schithole country because their govt is repressive, controlling and corrupt. get rid of the chicom's and this problem would not have happened like this.

You are correct. He hasn't done anything special during this crisis, other than hold his "daily chat with Andy" press conferences. He and Trump have pretty much been step for step during this. The media likes one of them and hates the other and the coverage reflects that for anyone paying attention.

I agree with that they seem to be trying to draft Cuomo, but in any scenario like that I would think that Bernie and his supporters would stage a revolt..... will be interesting.

You need to ask the resident Bolsheviks.

I have been thinking that as well. If they jump right over Bernie to someone who hasn't gone through the process I think they have a similar problem to 2016 where Bernie's supporters turn their back on their nominee. Democrats are still in a bad, bad place with 7 months to go.
