Why Joe Biden doesn’t dare tap Andrew Cuomo for veep
NY Post ^ | March 29 2020 | Bob McManus

Gov. Cuomo for veep? Well, never say never — but it’s ­unlikely.

Yes, the governor is up to his neck in five-star reviews for his management of the corona­virus crisis. His TV presence radiates calm competence. Clearly, he has gotten the poetry of governance in a maelstrom right; whether he is on top of the prose of it remains to be seen, but it certainly seems so.

And of such stuff are political superstars born. So it’s no surprise that people are talking him up as a potential partner to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. If ever a candidacy needed a belt of Red Bull, it’s Biden’s.

Wouldn’t Cuomo need to go homo/transgender?

If he runs the president or vice-president will his brother lose his show because of conflicts?

If Cuomo were smart, he would wait until 2024 to run. POlitics is a cycle here in the US and for a cycle, its a Republican, and then a Democrat, etc, rinse and repeat. This is where Trump saw his chance, versus 2012. It is rare that a President has one term. It does happen, Carter and Bush the Elder are examples. Trump will get re-elected, why does Cuomo want to be a sacrificial lamb. Wait until the field is more open. He will have his Wuhan creds and any mistakes he made will have been foregotten by 2024.

I am not defending Cuomo, it is just the political reality. Would he win the Presidency? Can’t say at this point...

Because Cuomo sucks? Because Cuomo would probably have Biden Clintoned? Because Cuomo makes Bernie look sane? Because Cuomo has ruined my hometown in upstate NY? Because if NY had the Electoral College by county Cuomo would have lost in a land slide every time he ran?

Look at Cuomos’s actual policies. They won’t fly. He announced today — a week into Corona lockdown— that NY is bankrupt. Says his April 1st budget will raise taxes again and cut education. He was going to do this anyway. He’s a joke.

Because Cuomo is even slower than Joe. His voice isn’t soothing. That is a media lie. He has a slow, boring, dull voice. He keeps repeating himself and talking slow like people are stupid.

He has a cushy job as Governor of New York. Why would he give that up for the mere possibility of an upset victory by Sleepy Joe and then for Sleepy Joe to die/resign? More likely is that he will wait for 2024 and thereby avoid challenging Trump, just like Trump didn’t run in 2012, instead running in 2016 and thereby avoided challenging Obama.

If any of you folks watched New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo go through his paces at his press conference on Sunday morning...you will have witnessed the babbling, ranting, empty suit that is really Andrew Cuomo. Face it....Cuomo did absolutely nothing to prepare the state of New York for this horror corona virus attack on New York State. The same goes for the two deadbeat Governors of New Jersey & Connecticut and, that winner of 100& losers, Democrat NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio.

It was POTUS, Trump that brought these laggard Democrat Party,, left-wing useless scum & vermin Governors & their legislatures up to speed. Trump supplied, the respirators, the ventilators, the face masks, the protective clothes, the massive effective naval hospital ship, The Javits Center massive hospital, etc. Face it Democrats these three “Blue states” were 100% asleep at the wheel, taking care of your illegal immigrants and freeing criminals without
bail!!!

These Democrat Party, poor excuses for effective human beings and leaders could not find an operating bathroom if they
needed to use it. And, the not so competent, Governor of NY has more ego and love of self then functioning effective strategic brains. IMHO....Andrew Cuomo & Joe Biden both belong in a Chinese Circus, zoo on display as they full time buffoons they are!!! The Cuomo PR was a waste of time....the guy is an absolute “ZERO”!!!

Clintoned! LOL!

Any Democrat aspiring for president would be well advised not to appoint Hillary to any Executive Branch office listed in the order of succession if a president should die in office. Any one ahead of her on that list...not good.

his MO (judging from a recent example, CNN reporter asking him what do you think of the quarantine) is to respond to tough questions by confusing the terminology, and then dissembling about the resulting confusion. That can only get him so far, in particular, it can get him by but if there is a convenient scapegoat (eg trump), a compliant media (eg cnn), and a gullible citizenry (eg new york city liberals). I can envision it becoming more apparent and monotonous if he tries to run for a higher office (but who knows).
