Cuomo’s name and his inspirational leadership are mentioned in every other paragraph.

Sounds like Xi JingCoumo.

Cuomo just said he takes full responsability?

Best news I have heard all day.

This pretty much decodes as Cuomo has been given inside information that the Corona. Virus is not going to break out in NY any time soon

I have seen this a couple of times and I don’t see why it’s an issue. Pompeo was talking about China and Trump added “shoulda let us know.” Just as he has been saying... China should have let us know about the virus when they knew it was a problem.

But of course, I’m not in grade school so understanding context comes a little easier for me...

For the past six weeks, Andrew Cuomo has behaved in an unusually focused, rational, and responsible way.

I certainly did not think he had it in him.

Clearly he is running for President, but that all goes back to Mario, Geraldine Ferraro, and just how much the ascent of the Irish with the Kennedy dynasty ground the gears of tri-state Italians, as every NYC boy knows.

When you know Andrew invented the “Vote for Cuomo, not the homo” campaign that doomed Ed Koch’s run for governor, you know any “wokeness” is an act designed to get all the fu**ed up leftists in NY to vote for him.

Watch carefully for signs of “moderation”. He certainly isn’t going to run a national election based on a seven-round magazine limit (for example).

He’s very dangerous.His strong executive actions to expand hospital capacity FAR beyond what any other governor has done are remarkable. If he accomplishes something in the next four weeks he will be more so.

The facts in both cases are different. What a stupid article.

One thing for certain: Cuomo is running for POTUS via the convention back door.

What will his platform be? That I held New York States's unemployment rate to 15? 20%? 30%

I don't think that will happen. Why would people vote for him?

If there is another candidate, it will be someone that is not a Gov.

He’s also laughably insane, and I’m not worried about him at all.

Cuomo can’t succeed because he isn’t trying to do the right thing by his state, rather he, as all demoncrats,is doing things to destroy his political enemies and strengthen his own party’s position. He is looking at politics not any crisis. In other words he’s flying dead blind.

Only in liberal LaLa land does Cuomo look good. For starters, Cuomo, taking “responsibility” for decisions he has made is a whole lot different than Trump accepting blame for decisions he didn’t make.

I’ve seen some of the “leadership style” Cuomo is being praised for by NBC in his briefings. He admits he tired, and, indeed, looks to me like a zombie watching a ping pong match. He regularly moves his head side to side, as if reading a teleprompter, even though the dialog is clearly not read. If this is “presidential material”, Joe and Bernie have no worries.

Your cheap personal attack shows you still need to grow up. Liberals act like that as do progressives.

Or...Trump’s comments are about Pompeo not letting him know tbwax the test he was talking about. Or all you all knowng on context?

Why vote for would-be Mafia thug to run things, when we have Donald Trump?

If the economy were failing on its own, maybe.

But everyone knows this is a Chinese virus; many are figuring out it is a bioweapon, but they're not allowed to say so yet.

The press (working for their pay from their Chinese Communist masters, and the billionaire oligarchs who built up China) are attacking Trump with everything they have. As is Congress.

Americans know who to blame.

I didn’t hear him say “You”. I heard him say, “Should’ve let us know.” I think it was directed at China.

If Cuomo is graded on a bell curve. Cuomo in comparison to other leftist democrats nearly sounds reasonable or at least not as unreasonable.
He, like all current Democrats, are scum. His party tried to set up the President of the US with a fake dossier, bogus Russian collusion, impeachment and finally trying to hang this virus on him.
Has there been ONE democrat [in any elected office position] that stood up and said, “THIS IS WRONG”
not ONE..the are ALL scum ...even the less unreasonable ones.
And the Romney is the biggest scum residing in the Republican Party. But i digress.

I work in a hospital and do the same thing where I can. I think it is extremely unhealthy to have that on 24x7.

I have had this tagline for about a week now.

As I have said, I admit that I don’t know the right way to handle this, it is all so unprecedented.

But in my gut, it feels wrong. It feels like burning down a house to kill a spider.

Are you that effing stupid? The context is quite easy to understand if you include the previous statements by the President and the preceding sentences by Pompeo. Liberals and progressives take anything and everything the President says out of context. You’re either an idiot or you are a leftist idiot. Your choice...

One thing for certain: Cuomo is running for POTUS via the convention back door.

The DNC convention is in mid-July. Although Biden has an apparently insurmountable lead in delegates, he's still nearly 800 votes short of a first-ballot majority. He's got 1201, and needs 1991.

If he gets 1991, he gets the nomination. But, if they postpone the primaries because of COVID, those delegates will not be picked through popular vote. Unless, the party institutes some mail-in procedure.

So, if there is no majority... a full floor fight becomes a forseeable possibility, maybe even a likelihood.

I was saying that after watching him, I would not be surprised to see Joe get “sick” and have them step up “FDR” Cuomo as the candidate.

Joe will make himself look silly with these Coronavirus Shadow Media events. I cannot imagine a world where that makes sense.
