Andrew Cuomo supporters quietly angling him for 2020 vice president gig
NY Post ^ | April 4, 2020 | Jon Levine

Could Joe Biden benefit from a little Cuomentum?

People close to Gov. Andrew Cuomo certainly think so and are engaging in a furious behind-the-scenes campaign to tout his leadership during the COVID-19 outbreak and appeal to Team Biden, insiders say.

“Biden bundlers have told me that they are feeling pressure from Cuomo’s orbit to, at the very least, have the vice president bring him up in complimentary ways regarding his handling of the crisis,” said one New York Democratic operative regularly in touch with big Biden donors. They seek to “keep the dust up” and “generate a positive whisper campaign” — potentially even netting Cuomo a spot on the 2020 Democratic ticket with Biden.

For his part, the governor has strenuously denied any interest in the job. “I don’t want to be vice president,” he told Albany radio host Alan Chartock last week.

A former senior Cuomo staffer dismissed that, telling The Post the 62-year-old Cuomo “definitely” has national aspirations and would jump at being Biden’s running mate.

“If given the opportunity there is no question in my mind he would want to go for that,” the ex-staffer said. “This is the Cuomo playbook. Keep out there, publicly deny, work behind the scenes.”

Most party bigs still consider the odds of Biden tapping Cuomo as slim. It would create a geographically limited ticket with two northeasterners, and Biden has publicly promised to nominate a woman for the job — which opinion polls say was a popular move.

Cuomo's star status rises over coronavirus response Yet the Dem insider said the bundlers — a rarified circle of mega-donors who can also corral big bucks from others — were being hit up to position Cuomo for the veep spot now, or put him in play for the 2024 presidential race.

Not going to be two white guys. It’s going to be Biden and a woman; Harris or Klobuchar or Whitmer.

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures EVIL...the psychopath’s coldness...the no compassion face. When that slips by go to the WORDS (lies or antagonisms..”bitter clingers”...now that face didn’t slip by you I hope). When both slip by go to the DEEDS. Sometimes they all slip by and YOU’RE raped or dead. The face is sometimes more revealing than other times...Manson, Khomeini, etc., etc.

Barack & Michelle, Hillary & Bill, Soros, CUOMO, Strzok, Brennan, Pelosi, Jarrett, Feinstein, Omar, Haley Stevens, Schumer, Yates, Ted Bundy, an old acquaintance Rick, a current acquaintance Ron, Stalin, Hitler, Greta, etc., etc.

The most EVIL administration in the history of this great republic BY FAR.

Barack & Michelle Obama, Biden, Clinton, Holder, Lerner, Lynch, Brennan, Comey, Strzok, Paige, Jarrett, Yates, etc., etc. downstream including Jon Gruber, Zeke Emanuel, John Holdren, etc., etc.

” WE are 5 days away from fundamentally TRANSFORMING the United States of America”, “bitter clingers”, “CHARTER OF NEGATIVE LIBERTIES”, “deplorables” “we came, we saw, he died,” “if the prosecutor’s not fired, your not getting the billion dollars” etc., etc., etc., etc.

WE THE PEOPLE are still reeling from the effects of these CRIMINALS. OUR children are, too. Witness current events.

https://usdebtclock.org Examine the debt before and after that administration.

NONE ARE BEHIND BARS. No justice, no republic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcsvE1zv1ek

ZERO...adios republic. Nobody can recover from such CRIMINALITY.

MANY CRIMINALS NEVER STOP unless incarcerated or eliminated.

Their templates partnered with foreign, domestic, individual enemies have built in “plausible deniability”. EVIL to the nth depth. FF could not have anticipated this.

ITS STRANGE THAT GOV. CUOMO NEVER OFFERS A NOTE OF PRAISE OF THE BENEFITS OF SANCTUARY STATES. HE SHOULD BE OFFERNG ACOLADES TO ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL UNVETTED ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT RUSHED TO THESE STATES ARE LIVING A GREAT LIFE SINCE BRINGING THE COVID19 VIRUS TO THE USA. THEY DID A GREAT SERVICE SPREADING HE VIRUS AROUND TO SANCTUARY STATES AND CUOMO KNOWS IT.

OK then.
So just one single state, New York, maneged to account for to the tune of 40% of coronavirus infections in the US, and that qualifies the governor of that state to be Vice President and maybe president given that Biden is not going to last much longer?
On what planet is that?

This is funny...as I have been reading different news sites waiting for the bread to raise...guess what I found:

https://dcdirtylaundry.com/dnc-secret-hillary-will-kneecap-biden-at-the-convention-heres-how/

This should be interesting...there isn’t one American in these United States that have ghost of a chance to beat Our President...but throw your money around (Little Mike) and see how far you get...

The Smelly Old Hag will be on a tug boat out in the middle of the Atlantic Sea come Nov 2020, you can bet if the bears chased the stink out of the woods, the fish aren’t going to touch the slime either!!!

I am rather sick of whiner “Ventilator” Andy Cuomo. I don’t think I could stand to listen to his hectoring for four years.

All the media’s horses and all it’s men won’t be able to hide Amdrew’s infinite amount of sins.

And I suspect that if he tries to shut N.Y. down through the fall, his popularity will have a very short shelf life.

I would think Cuomo would be smarter than that.

It's hitching your wagon to a dead horse.

If I was Cuomo I would consider positioning myself for '24

He probably realizes this is his best chance. He cannot win in 24 on his own.

Because they want to live under the governance of a fool who missed every sign there was that a devastating pandemic that was killing New Yorkers, and who continues trying to figure out how to deal with it?

Well, the liberal view is that Cuomo has shown leadership. The cable news networks sure are giving him lot of face time.

But the million dollar question is will Andrew Cuomo pass Joe Biden’s sniff test? That’s why Swalwell won’t be considered. *L*
