Could a ‘Draft Cuomo’ Movement Be in the Democrats’ Future?
National Review ^ | March 24, 2020 9:18 PM | JOHN FUND

It’s not out of the question if Biden keeps looking out of touch and irrelevant.

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.” He enthused that Cuomo’s news conference last Friday “essentially (shutting) down the economy of his state . . . was a master class in leveling with the public.”

Fueled by favorable national publicity that governors rarely get, Cuomo has quickly become the standard-bearer for liberals who don’t want to quickly open up parts the economy at the same time we combat the coronavirus.

Sadly my idiot sister who’s an avid Trump supporter just loves Cuomo since he’s been such a great leader in crisis. Wonder how many other imbeciles will fall for this.

They’ll probably have to draft somebody because Biden is showing no signs he can make it to the finish line.

No John Fund. He can’t save you, the demoncatic party, nor the National Review.

This morning Amy Goodman on NPR went after Cu0mo for reducing Medicare costs and appointing a commission in NY to do so. Said that’s why state was unprepared.

Sure - in 2024. No organization in place, no fundraising in place.

This isn't like a Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland movie: “Hey, kids, let's put on a show!”

At least some here seem to be over the nonsense that Michelle Obama is going to swoop in and save the day for the dems.

Cuomo declined respirators back in 2015
so now he is becoming a drama queen demanding Fed Govt. aid.
He stood back when he and Wilhelm of NYC should have been taking action months ago .

Hillary forbids it. Also the Bernie-Buttheads will revolt.

I guess it doesn’t matter if the Rats throw away all the primary results. I’m assuming that Biden gets the required delegates for nomination.
