I never understood why he didn’t run for President in 1988. I believe he would have won and had it for 8 years and delayed Clinton by four years. Mario Coumo was a great orator in the league of Slick Willie.

Great orator equates to a used car dealer who is selling you a hunk of junk at top dollar. The pious arrogance of this man can be seen in his son andy. He sh##s ice cream
If Mario had run and been elected in ‘88, and reelected in ‘92, it would have been another 4-8 years after Cuomo before Clinton (might) have been elected. It’s really RARE to have the same party in office for 3 consecutive terms. Bush “41” was the exception and that had to do with Reagan’s success in office. Before that it was @ 120 years. Van Buren as I recall.
Cuomo bowed himself out of 1988 when he said he was “too ethnic, too liberal, too urban, and too northeastern” to appeal to the rest of the nation.
Cuomo was offered a consolation prize by Bill Clinton: an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. He turned that down, too.
Cuomo was arrogant, smug, self-satisfied, and convinced of his Olympian superiority to the ignorant masses. He will not be missed.
