A majority of Democrats want to nominate New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for president instead of Joe Biden, according to poll results shared exclusively with The Post.

The national poll found 56 percent of Democrats prefer Cuomo, with 44 percent wanting to stick with presumptive nominee Biden — a 12-point margin well outside the 4.8 percent margin of error for the Democratic sample.

There are going to be a LOT of pissed off dim voters. (Berniebots)

All this was for show. Biden is going to be sent to the happy valley home and Cuomo will step in without having to do any of the work during the primaries.

The dimrat convention will be one hell of a show to watch.

Democrats have put themselves in a bit of a box. Sure, the DNC can do whatever it wants — but it’s going to look bad. As you say, Joe is the only guy in the race, so how can they nominate someone else? It disenfranchises all the Democrats who voted for him. It makes elections meaningless — how can they argue for special pandemic election laws when their party doesn’t care about it’s own election results?

Very awkward.

I think they will go through their convention, force a VP on Biden and have an official ticket. And THEN Biden will drop out. The VP will run in November. That will look a little less like “we-don’t-care-what-the-people-think-we-just-selected-this-guy-for-them”.

Makes a lot of sense; replace a bumbling old man who can’t say a complete sentence with the governor who has arguably done the worst job handling the corona virus - both in lack of preparation and poorness of response - of any governor in the country and who has a distinctly unlikeable personality.

Trump would similarly destroy Governor “Nipple Sticks”.

Bring him on.

Drop kicking Dementia Joe has been a plan of the elites for months after buying out Bernie.

Yes. I do expect someone not named Joe to be the Democrat candidate in November, but I think it’s hard to see Cuomo as the replacement. They pretended for a week or two that he was handling the virus well, but he clearly hasn’t. He’s been a disaster. That’s not how you position yourself for advancement.

they weren’t really voting for Biden, they were voting for Obama.

And yet during the eight dark years, if you asked them who Joe Biden was, you would get a blank stare from 90% of them.

The leftists and their useful idiot friends are such superficial, vacuous fools. Mr Cavone and his nipple rings was available for 10 years and nobody noticed. Give him a week as chief virus fighter and these cretins have an orgasm. He would be easier to beat than Biden

Per the article, the “poll” was commissioned by the Club for Growth, and included something like 351 Democrat respondents (and geographical distribution wasn’t described). The purpose is obviously to undermine Biden and sow uncertainty among the heathen foe (Democrats).

The Dems’ should resist their natural tendency to cheat, and should stick to their nomination process. Just because he’s demented doesn’t mean Biden isn’t their best of show. I doubt Cuomo wants the level of scrutiny running for President would bring.

Pining for the Pious only illustrates how bad they see Joe as.

The promotion of Cuomo for president shows just how biased the media are - he has done a lousy job with the virus, but - ignoring the facts - the media are touting him as having led a brilliant response. I cannot believe how far the media have fallen, especially the beltway media.

Lying and distorting and omitting seems to be their standard mode of operation. The most bizarre thing of all has been their war against hydroxychloroquine (I wish it had a shorter name!) - calling it "dangerous," suggesting it might kill you - just because Trump viewed it as promising, based on the French study and other promising reports that have been coming in.

Democrats especially AA ones are primarily voting for Biden for the same reason many Republicans voted for HW Bush. We voted for HW Bush because of Reagan, and they are voting for Biden because of Obama.

How about a tag team cage match to determine the ticket? Slo Joe and Corn Pop versus the Fabulous Cuomo Brothers!

During this virus crisis, he gets an hour or more of free face-time on many TV channels every day. I am sure he has developed many disciples in just the past few weeks.

However, even on Free Republic, there are many who can not really comprehend the presentations and to disguise their ignorance, lash out in preposterous indignation

I notice he is often bringing his daughter with him on his pressers, to attract the younger voters.

Cuomo has a list of voter-toxic issues. Keep in mind he signed a full-term abortion law, with cheering dems surrounding him.
