Margaret Carlson: Hillary Stabbed Cuomo in the Back for Presidency
NewsMax was the first to report that Hillary Clinton was indeed running for the President.
Now, the idea of a Hillary Clinton candidacy has moved from laughter to accepted reality.
This past weekend, Margaret Carlson, co-host of CNN’s Capital Gang, said on-air that there is no doubt that Hillary is running for the White House.
Carlson, also a TIME magazine columnist, is one of the most connected liberals in Washington.
During the CNN show, Carlson explained why Andrew Cuomo pulled out of the Democratic primary in New York, throwing the race to State Comptroller Carl McCall, an African American.
Carlson said that Hillary’s sudden and unusual endorsement of McCall made Cuomo’s race untenable.
Why did Hillary make the unusual move of making an endorsement when she had previously promised to remain neutral?
Carlson said bluntly, "Hillary's running for president. They [the Clintons] wanted the black vote, and the Clintons just undermined [Cuomo].”
Carlson said Hillary’s endorsement proves the Clintons will stop at nothing to get back into the White House.
She said the Hillary endorsement demonstrated that "the Clintons will stab you in the back.”
Carlson recalled that during the Monica scandal, "The Clintons got [Cuomo’s] support during impeachment. If one Cabinet secretary had gone off during the Monica thing, Clinton would have been in a lot of trouble. Andrew Cuomo stuck by him.”
Cuomo had served as Clinton’s cabinet secretary at HUD.
Carlson complained, "They should have at least, the very least, remained neutral.”

That will be her long-awaited cue to divorce him. She will be seen as wise (to finally dump him) and patient (for giving him as many chances as she has). It will boost her numbers.
All that aside, I believe they'll be together for ever. They are, after all, "The Clintons," a political tornado that feed off each other.
He's way overdue......and I bet she stays with him. She's nothing without him.
DITTO, man, Ditto!!
One thing about Cuomo, he's a liberal first and foremost. Canidate Clinton (Bill in 92) basically said Mario (and by extension the Coumos) were mobbed up, but when the chips were down during impeachement, the Coumos stuck by him and made nice-nice. Now we have this, nothing will be different. When (not if) the witch runs, the Coumo family will be leading the cheering section. Behind the scenes they may hate each other, but for the left politics trumps everything, and winning power by any means necessary is all that counts.
