Draft Cuomo Movement Building
nationalreview.com ^ | March 24, 2020

Democrats are publicly talking about “contingency options” for their July convention in Milwaukee in case the coronavirus persists in being a public-health threat. But privately, some are also talking about needing a Plan B if Joe Biden, their nominee apparent, continues to flounder.

Some Democrats are openly talking up New York governor Andrew Cuomo, whose profile has soared during the crisis, as a Biden stand-in. Yesterday, a Draft Cuomo 2020 account on Twitter announced that “Times have changed & we need Gov. Cuomo to be the nominee. Our next POTUS must be one w/an ability to lead thru this crisis.”

Charles Pierce, the politics blogger for Esquire magazine, wrote a piece headlined “With Two Words, Andrew Cuomo Established Himself as the Leader This Country Needs Now.”

Lloyd Constantine, who was a senior policy adviser to New York governor Eliot Spitzer from 2007 to 2008, puts it bluntly: “Biden is a melting ice cube. Those of us who have closely watched as time ravaged the once sharp or even brilliant minds of loved ones and colleagues, recognize what is happening to the good soldier Joe.”

Indeed, Biden seemed to disappear when the virus began dominating the news cycle early in March. Biden’s media presence “abruptly shriveled,” writes Kalev Leetaru, a senior fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber & Homeland Security. In contrast, daily mentions of Cuomo as of last Sunday “accounted for 1.4 percent of online news coverage compared with 2.9 percent for Trump.”

In an attempt to remain relevant, Biden’s campaign team hastily built a TV studio in the basement of his Wilmington, Del., home and began streaming daily appearances by him from it this week. They have not gone well.

Ignore Andrew at your peril.

Mrs. RedElement, a dyed in the wool Trumpista, says his pressers are magnetic. I tease her about it, and have no worries she would vote for him. But, there have to be a zillion Dims who pine for someone to replace Biden/Bernie.

Personally, I have no doubt he would be a more formidable candidate than B or B.

How can they replace him if he wins a sufficient majority of the votes in the primary to qualify as the nominee? They will have a riot on their hands if they change the rules after he won. Should be fun to watch.

Do you mean Cuomo “The Dog Faced Mongrel” or Cuomo “The Dog Faced Pony Soldier”?

So the DNC will have to pay off Biden and Sanders both this time.

Maybe they can borrow some money from Soros since he’s the Democrat Party sugar daddy.

Cuomo could have had 16,000 ventilators several years ago and chose not to pay for that item. He was the one ill prepared. It is not on Trump that Cuomo has not prepared New York for a pandemic.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8148237/Trump-goes-political-war-Cuomo-accusing-turning-16-000-ventilators-five-years-ago.html

And if, by some totally insane fluke of nature, he is elected will he lead from his basement also?

Somebody in the Democrat Party probably ensured Slow Joe got sick so Cumo could walk in. Won’t matter though. The great Sea of Red ain’t voting for the blowhard that gets put on the news every damned day to wine and cry and blame others for his F-ups.

He beat up his wife Kerry Kennedy, daughter of RFK, when he thought she cheated on him.

It was a messy divorce.

Sonny Cuomo thinks he is a tough guy - in reality he was a pampered, spoiled son of Mario “the Godfather” Cuomo.
