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)

Preet has been investigating Cuomo since he before he took down Silver and Skelos. As much as I hate Cuomo, he is a shrewd bastard and never, ever uses email. He is like Tony Soprano—far enough removed from the actual evil deeds so as not to get caught. His scumbag father taught him well. Everyone in Albany hates him, even the dems from NYC because he is such a vindictive bastard, but they all wind up kissing his ring to get what they want. It is a sick place, Albany.

From your mouth to God’s ears. If Hillary is not in prison, neither will he be.

The only reason people are looking to New York is because that’s where Trump Tower is located

Cuomo has NY values. And as it turns out, Trump has American values.

He’ll fail as well. Trump may be a New Yorker, but he’s no eastern elitist like Cuomo. Trump gets the people in flyover country and especially in the upper midwest where the election was decided. Cuomo is a New York liberal period.

Personally, I give the up and coming magic negro, one cory booker, a 50/50 shot at the nomination, as of this writing.

It is absolUtley amazing that Cuomo can believe that doing more of the same will produce a different result, Its truely wonderful being always right. You never need to have a new idea.

When Donald J. Trump started building his Empire in Manhattan, it was streets of bars, topless bars, peep shows, and falling into despair...

He took his time and re built Manhattan and the smut went to other areas of the 5 cities...then along came Rudy, and went after the Mafia and got them under control...

The last time I was there, it was a nice place to be, and I enjoyed it...

So if Mr. Cuomo and his Mafia family would like to show ‘another side’ of Manhattan, then elected the biggest crook, liar, and loser Clinton...then you'll have ‘Little ISIS’ on your hands, lets see how that works out for you...

Cuomo might regret talking about torches, being held high, etc.

The constituency to which he panders tends to burn things and people, drop things and people, and drop burning things on people.

We’ve had 8 years of an anti-Trump. That’s why we voted for the anti-Kenyan.
