New York state must stand as an alternative to Donald Trump, showing the nation that tolerance, progressive policies like a higher minimum wage and investments in education can create an economy that works for all, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.
Without mentioning the Republican president-elect by name, Cuomo, a Democrat, said it is up to New York to find a different way to address the middle-class angst that propelled Trump to the White House. His remarks came during a state of the state address at Manhattan's World Trade Center, the first of six addresses planned for locations around the state this week.
"We all heard the roar on election day, and we must respond," Cuomo said. "The nation once again looks to New York to find the way up.... We will hold the torch high to light the way."(continued)

Riiiiiiiiiight.
Maybe real New York (e.g, outside of the liberal cess pool of Manhattan) could do well, and in fact, they’d do much, much better without being dragged down by the pile of floating sewage currently living on the island.
As for showing the rest of us anything, good luck, smegma lips.

NYS is bankrupt.
NYC is bankrupt.
The only reasons they survived under was the obama massive bailouts and free money to Wall Street.
And that is coming to an end.

Almost every major corporation and bank in the world has either an office or its headquarters there and the City gets a piece of everything not to mention what they steal from Wall St.
That’s the only reason the place isn’t looking like Detroit.

If Michigan sticks with Trump, in five years Detroit will be kicking their ass.

Wish I had seen this before my previous reply.
From today’s Fiscal Times:
“Chicago and New York rank at the bottom of a new analysis of fiscal strength based primarily on data from 2015 financial reports issued by the cities themselves....”
Liberals, the ultimate proof that one is dealing from a not full deck.
