Cuomo rules out replacing Joe Biden as Democratic presidential candidate, says no to VP position: ‘I am staying here’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo emphatically ruled out speculation that he could replace Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket — or join the ticket as a vice presidential candidate.

“That is on one hand flattering," Cuomo said. "On the other hand, it is irrelevant.”

He brushed off rumors that some Democratic insiders believe he could be a stronger candidate than Biden to oust President Trump in November.

“I’m not running for president. I’m not running for vice president,” he said. “I am staying here.”

Why would he give up the limelight and all of that power he has grabbed to play second-fiddle to a certified idiot?

“Now some Freepers are going to go back to obsessing about Cankles or the Mooch.”

Lots of fun talk, but not going to happen. Once Joe gets a majority of delegates in the primaries, that’s it. What’s more, the Witch has health problems, like Parkinson’s, that make running again harder for her than Biden’s dementia is for him, and the Mooch has all sorts of undisclosed dirt from her unfortunate days practicing law in IL that got her forced to resign “voluntarily” from the IL bar after only four years of practice.

Andrew Cuomo knows the Titanic when he hears the foghorn.

His Arrogance Pope Mario I the Pious always thought both the Presidency and SCOTUS to be beneath his august intellect and divine presence.

What Mario Cuomo wanted was elevation to a rank created just for him, that of America’s anointed Philosopher-King.

Alas, the unwashed masses didn’t see it his way, and reelected the abominable Ronald Reagan instead.

Cuomo has more power as one of three men in a room in NYS than he would in the White House.

translation: Trump knows too many juicy details of how he screwed-up here.

Moochelle wants the perks of the Presidency but not the responsibility.

Hillabitch is less up to physically running now than in 2016.

Old footage of Franklin Roosevelt shows that it took less effort to move Old Rubberlegs around than the Tentsuit behemoth.

May have a lot of covering up to do before his departure from the Governor’s Mansion.

Andy is smart. It will be between him and Newsom in 2024, and sadly, one of those two will likely become prez. There’s just no one like Trump.

NYS’s insane response to WuFlu has ensured that Cuomo’s plans for national office are toast.

For the record, all Cuomos are Fredo.

Andy, the lesser Fredo, has made it clear he has no interest in being the sacrificial lamb that Trump gets to slaughter in November.

When Trump wins 40 states, there will be a post-election internecine Dem bloodbath, and Andy will be far away from DC. When the smoke clears, he'll be the frontrunner for the nomination.

He'll be fairly formidable, but with a boneyard of skeletons in his closet. We'll need a solid candidate for the post-Trump world.

He doesn’t want to have anything to do with what’s going to happen to Biden and the whole democrat party come Nov. Maybe he IS smarter than he seems

Must not have the details ironed out for his 8 digit book (money laundering) deal...yet.

Maybe, but what happened in New York has probably been harder on Bill “Don’t fear to ride the subways because of the virus” DeBlasio’s future ambitions. The left has hailed Cuomo as a conquering hero while the bodies pile higher in his state than any other by far, but NYC is the main focal point and DeBlasio is an easy target.

If he’s smart he will position himself for 2024

And nipple studs. Don't forget Cuomo's pierced nipples.

Once you see them, they can't be unseen.

He’s not too dumb to know it’s a hopeless cause.

Yep - Cuomo can see the missing tracks and the rotting bridge the dem train has to navigate and doesn’t think they can manage.

That’s horrifying, something I’d expect to see on Andrew Gillum’s temporary hotel roommate.

Cumo’s work is not done, the state is a few years from bankruptcy and besides, there are still people living in New York despite the population exodus.
