Opinion: Coronavirus and Trump's failures have #PresidentCuomo trending. But that's a fantasy.
NBC "News" / Comcast ^ | March 31, 2020 | By Susan Del Percio

Andrew Cuomo is no longer just New York's governor - he is now America's governor. Thanks to his excellent leadership during the overwhelming health crisis caused by the coronavirus, Cuomo has provided much-needed comfort and information to the entire country. He has been so effective and has presented such a stark contrast with the vacuum of leadership in the White House that now some people are saying he should be America's president.

As a New Yorker, I understand where they're coming from, but I wish they would stop. First, New York needs Cuomo's leadership now and in the months to come. Second, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont would fight any late entry he would make into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, which could lead to President Donald Trump's re-election. Third, there is no need for a third reason; the first two should be enough.

As someone who served as special adviser to Cuomo, I've seen him handle a looming transit strike, the Ebola crisis and natural disasters. I get what people are drawn to, as it's the same thing that can drive his staff nuts - a complete dedication to the facts and a depth of knowledge of how government works at the federal, state and municipal levels.

Those who are asking why didn't Cuomo run for president should understand that it was never in the cards for the governor, whose poll numbers were at an unimpressive 43 percent just seven months ago before skyrocketing to 71 percent now.

New Yorkers love to hate our sports teams and elected officials. But while a lot of people have had issues with Cuomo, we are not willing to trade him. He belongs to New York, and we need him to stay here.

Trump’s failures? Like enacting travel bans, getting a COVID19 task force, and correctly identifying a possible game changing medicine? Oh okay.

If she's writing this while close to Cuomo that could well mean that he's making it clear that he's not interested.

America doesn’t want or need a governor with strange piercings.

America doesn’t want or need a governor who can’t understand the concept of population density.

America doesn’t want or need a governor who won’t enforce the stay-at-home edicts he gives out.

America doesn’t want or need a governor who threatens bordering states with lawsuits when they do his job for him.

America doesn’t want or need a governor who attributes all bad things to the president and attributes all good things to himself.

America doesn’t want or need a governor who mismanages budgets, plans and distribution.

Was there an Ebola crisis in New York? The article gives Cuomo credit for handling it well, but that seems like giving credit for handling the Brontosaurus problem well.

“Susan Del Percio is a Republican strategist and MSNBC political analyst. She served as special adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2014 and 2015.”

This doesn’t add up but then neither do liberal numbers.

Proof that anyone can call himself a ‘Republican strategist’ with no credentials or proof.

Or that he wants it badly but must appear as if he doesn’t. Headlines on breaking news here stating insiders believe Biden won’t make it to November. Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Cumo -—— interesting to watch. Some people are so stupid.

Run, Andy, run!

This NYSer would revel in Cuomo’s subsequent abject humiliation.

And I’m a damn Dem.

If he had screwed up, the airhead would still be defending him. No matter what Trump says or does, these empty-headed pretty-face idiots will condemn him.

I still remember when the media tried to convince us women that John Kerry was good looking.

Oooh, John Kerry in a wet suit!! LMAO

Now the media is hard at work trying to convince us that ugly @ss Andrew Cuomo is not only handsome, but especially competent.

What does the creature who wrote this use to think with? What alternate, fantasy reality does she live in? Or is it all simple, corrupt propaganda?

Yeah, you dumb twat - Cuomo’s REALLY provided “excellent leadership” - that’s why NYC is 100x worse off than anywhere else in the country.
