He didn’t book rooms at President-elect Donald Trump’s spectacular hotel in the nation’s capital just three blocks east of the White House. And he didn’t seek accommodations at a Motel 6 either. “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was so eager to celebrateHillary Clinton’s presidential inauguration, he booked 200 hotel rooms in D.C. for family, friends and supporters of his own possible future bid for the presidency,” reports New York Post columnist Richard Johnson.

Following Mr. Trump’s win last month, a member of the governor’s staff called Ed Cox, chairman of New York’s Republican Party, to offer him the vast block of rooms in the Madison.

Hope Trump did the deal so the rooms were taken for pennies on the dollar like Hillary’s fireworks!

Re: Edward F. Cox

He is the son-in-law of President Richard M. Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon. Cox is a lawyer in the Manhattan law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP. (and currently the chairman of the New York Republican State Committee)

In 1971, Cox married Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of then-President Nixon, in a White House Rose Garden ceremony. Tricia and Edward have a son, Christopher N. Cox. They currently reside in Long Island, New York.

Like that rat Pack guy said;

“Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant

Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes”

I’d love to know where the money comes from to book 200 rooms in D.C. for the inauguration.

What a sellout! He could have given 200 homeless people a place to sleep for a couple of nights! Oh, wait, it was HIS money? No wonder he didn't do that. What a greedy liberal.
