New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have just handed Republicans a ready-made campaign ad for his rumored 2020 presidential bid – by declaring Wednesday that America “was never that great.”
The Democratic star made the seemingly offhand remark as part of his rebuke of President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan during a bill-signing in New York. But the line drew gasps from the crowd.
“We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great,” Cuomo said, to an awkward blend of gasps and chuckles.
“We have not reached greatness, we will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged, we will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution,” he said.

What a slap in the face to all the vets too if you think about it.
We only saved the world in WW2.
Oh, Andy Cuomo inherited Pope Mario’s arrogance. In spades.
Cuomo is a know-nothing dork.
Yup.
My understanding is the Republican Establishment pretty much forced RR to accept GHWB as Veep. They couldn’t stem the tide of real Americans taking a stand, so they made sure Bush was next in line so as to backstop the Reagan Revolution.
“...another Soviet Union right here...”
We already have a Stalinist inquisition by a bunch of angry Democrats. The only difference is that they have not yet installed the hammer and cycle in place of the field of stars on Old Glory.
IMHO
...”start another Soviet Union...”
The Soviets are already here in the form of impeachment preliminaries by all those angry, adolescent Democrats who make up the revolutionary government that wants to take its rightful place as leaders of the people.
IMHO
