Cuomo: NY Can Show the Nation an Alternative to Trump
ABC News ^ | January 9, 2017 | David Klepper and Karen Matthews, The Associated Press

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)

The only way the Democrats would ever nominate a White Male is if in 2020 the Trump economy is booming so loud they just need a Mondale like sacrificial lamb.

Ah, the liberal bubble. We don’t care what you do in New York. Except for the entertainment value, similar to watching the 3 Stooges, if they were even stupider and a trio of perverts.

I think I read that NY is losing 2 people for every new person they get. If they start moving out of California again, and I think they will, Trump will win the popular vote too when he’s up for re-election.

Not only people but businesses. I work for a NY based company. They are looking for another location in the mid-west to start the move. Every employee who retires immediately moves out of New York!

Many of these posts don't state it, but you all know the truth: They don't care if the state goes bankrupt, and that abortions and crime and divorces skyrocket. Success, to them, and to Obama and the Clintons, etc., is their own power, and the ability to propagandize the sheeple.

You are correct, q1. Sanders was a populist-socialist, so had a chance as a white male. Otherwise, the regional Establishment politicians - the Cuomos - of this party will face the fate of O’Malley - 2%. For the next generation of primary seasons, the only national Democratic nominees will be black, latino, moslem, female, or gay.

That is probably true for 2020.

But if there's 17 candidates, like there were for the Republicans this time, anything could happen.

Cuomo...you dope. You are dumber than you father who manage to destroy NY in 12 years and you re looking to finish the job

Thhe Empire state is now a failed state...an absolute joke.

You are living proof that genetics is destiny, and your destiny is failure. The problem is you’re taking the rest of us down with you.
