As Andrew Cuomo ascends during coronavirus pandemic, Joe Biden fades
The Chicago Tribune ^ | March 27, 2020 | John Kass

Posted on 03/27/2020 4:36:26 AM PDT by PBRCat

Cuomo is on national television daily, giving his coronavirus briefings, presenting as a man of action and sympathy, fighting for his city and state that are being overwhelmed by the virus. He looks like a president.

And old Joe? Biden, the expected Democratic presidential nominee, remains lost, hapless, eclipsed and marginalized by events.

Biden has all but disappeared, like the time you were at the supermarket with your elderly uncle, and he wandered off, again. Frantic, you searched all the aisles until you finally found him asking the lady giving out samples for another taste of banana pudding.

“Biden is a melting ice cube,” wrote New York Democrat and antitrust litigator Lloyd Constantine on his blog, in a quote now widely circulated. “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.”

Two weeks ago, Democrats were insisting he wasn’t as feeble as he seems, that he was not suffering from a lack of mental acuity, that Biden was the strong leader who would win the White House for Democrats and hand them the awesome imperial power over our lives.

But things are different now. Biden fades, and Cuomo is ascendant.

Just saw Trump states Cuomo is exaggerating NY's need. Never let a crisis go to waste, maybe!

Just what we need, Fredo II on all the channels.

Actually, I've come to think of Andrew as "Sonny" Corleone.

67 here. I get the same type of moments. Search for a word and it comes to me later. No way he could a sustained conversation without it showing up.

“Bingo! With every last breath these aging hippies want to see the revolution happen or take the country to the grave with them.”

The narcissistic old hippies may end up destroying their party of lies instead of the country.
Pelosi should have been grooming her successor long ago. But then most of the old mafia Dons got taken out by rivals instead of retiring.

Holding on to power the way they have has depleted their bench dramatically.
Their “politics of intersecionality” is starting to fray as well.
Ya need a program to tell which victim group is on top this month.

ICBW but I thought she had endorsed Bernie? She is ideologically aligned with Bernie, not Biden.
Unless she is angling for the VP slot.

Thanks, I didn’t know.

“She’s on the attractive side. They know attractive RATs don’t exist; they simply don’t trust that she’s RAT.”

Her actions and policy positions should reassure them. Tulsi Gabbard is as bat crap crazy as the rest.

She is just the type of person the dems need to be promoting up. Telegenic, young, a fighter, fairly well-spoken plus her service in the HNG.
If I were stupid enough to be a democrat I would be grooming Gabbard for high office.

I think it was her taking down Heels Up Harris that brought about the ire of the DNC. Some had championed Harris for the 2020 nomination.
Gabbards early and easy takedown of Harris put the rest on notice that they were next on the menu.

Cuomo said that he was not interested in running for president. Maybe not this time because he knows that Trump is a very strong candidate but I bet he will run four years from now.
