I don't watch but am wondering if the media
shows up and Andies press conferences to

badger him
with questions like isn't opening up going to result in more death?
you are going to kill people?
why did you NOT have more ventilators and masks prior to this episode?
why do you blame the Feds for not being prepared when you were no more prepared?

do you give credit to Trump for keeping the death rate down far below original estimates?
Do you think closing the NY airports to foreign travel would have in retrospect save lives?  Why not ?

do you simply think that stating doing it smartly or based on facts relieves you of not being prepared to begin with , for allowing chinese and europeans to flood NY bringing virus with them did not cause more deaths?

Anyone believe for one second he will get these kinds of questions?
 and if he does he will have his answer pat and ready   and the adoring "jornolister" will simply thank him for his response and sit down and let it slide - (we can move along here folks - Andy just "debunked " all criticism)

Starting a thread on him for obvious reasons:

Good.  A place for Cuomo-skeptics to post too.   )

I remember where I was when Mario C brought the (Dem) house down at the convention in 1984.  Oh, he had a liberal vision, and delivery, and Reagan had it all wrong. The rich were getting richer and the poor, like now, had it so bad. Democrats (believed they) would have won if only they picked him instead of Fritz Mondale.  Reagan won 49 states and in 1988 Democrats picked Dukakis who lost in another landslide.  Liberalism needs to be dressed up to win. 

I don't watch cable so these daily talks with all his charm are missing me.  What I do see is that NY under his leadership is failing by almost any measure.  I can't imagine a winning campaign where he says I will do for America what I did for NY.

"America never was great."  That view isn't going to propel Michelle O or Cuomo.

A big part of the media is New York-centric.  A big part of the heartland is not.  Being Governor of NY, now the third largest state, is most certainly a good qualifier for being President.  It worked for Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and FDR.  But none since.

I take the poll showing Democrats preferring Cuomo to Biden is a sign of Biden weakness.  We get buyers' remorse with the top two candidates almost every four years.  If only our nominee wasn't ______.  But we have a process and Andrew did not go through it.

If the Gov was a true leader on public health and safety in this time of crisis, we could point back to where he called for an end to the flights from Europe, long before Trump did it, where coronavirus was pouring into his state.

In the key months of pandemic avoidance, November, December, January, February, I imagine he was busy following the impeachment head fake while pursuing higher taxes and higher social spending, instead of seeing, warning and preparing for what was coming, if the argument is that Trump didn't.

Democrats are good leaders at managing and spreading misery, not preventing it or ending it.  Other than maybe a smooth or slippery tongue, how is Andrew Cuomo anything other than a run-of-the-mill, tax and spend liberal?

Cuomo has endorsed Biden all the way through, because he “can beat Trump” and “can actually get something done.”

Working from memory on the chronology here: 

When Ed was Congressman in 1968 he came to our house a couple of times to meet with the committee in the 17th CD that was headed by my mother and future congresswoman Bella Abzug.  Bella was a force of nature and Ed was deferential to her but I did not sense him being gay.

« Reply #7 on: April 14, 2020, 03:31:49 PM »
well I don't think he ever said he was gay and to my knowledge denied it to the end.

I actually liked Ed Koch
though I thought at the end of his political tenure he got a bit too much in love with himself.

as far as I know it was always a theory and no more that he was gay .

he used to be seen with Kitty Carlisle at functions but it was thought to be for show.

Off the top of my head it looks like the first woman had legit reason for complaint, but it is entirely possible that there is some disingenuous politically motivated and ambition motivated piling on here as well.

True

So why wear a low cut blouse if you weren't "showing off to start with or if you did not want anyone to see cleavage?

All the CNN journolisters who show cleavage ......
analogy would be the men having tight pants showing a bulge.

who could have guessed
this would play out this way ?  :roll:

the supposed me too s will be hushed

some donors will be pleased to keep their hotline to the gov's mansion

and thus will be glad to give the accusers  great pay jobs etc:

https://apnews.com/article/business-health-coronavirus-pandemic-government-and-politics-324778623d4dc09190b80c95445d6f78

Let me take a guess
   the NY legislature head promised to impeach if more allegations came forward
   ~ 5 more did and since then silence - for sure this is all fixed with Manhattan money
Suddenly dead silence from the media - much in NYC

SDNY of course has nothing to say
while they pursue Trump to the ends of the Earth

Everyone must be treated the same under the law these same grandstanders tell us on cable

Can anyone beat Cuomo who has the machine protecting him?

I don't know .

I caught his response of FOX today!  Pretty slick!  Lots of photos of him kissing and hugging men, women, and children, kissing them on the cheek or forehead etc.

The FOX Barbies who came on after were all in a snit-- how dare he not believe his accusers!

He wanted this investigation.  He trusted the AG and process then, in March.

Hand inside blouse, grab breast, who hasn't done that to an underling, just kidding.

I see mixed reaction on our side.  So often when a conservative or Republican is accused it is false, a political takedown strategy., and there should be one set of rules but it isn't that simple.

Multiple accusers and credibility of the accusers comes into play.  But does friendly banter count?

Isn't each accuser a Democrat and one time Cuomo supporter?  Removing Cuomo does not swing the state government politically, so not much political motive there to lie, as we had with Kavanaugh replacing a Supreme Court swing vote.

NYT, WaPost, NYT, WSJ, Schumer, Gillebrand and AOC call on him to resign.

I call on him to call on Univ of Delaware to release the Tara Reade personnel file, (and Paula Jones files) and put his accusations in perspective with what Dem leaders higher up get away with.

As some conservative writers say, get the popcorn, let's watch this play out.

Didn't a woman accuse Biden of same thing?

I am shocked the SDNY actually presented evidence against Cuomo
I never thought I would see day Pelosi or Biden would ask Cuomo to resign
  but of course they are calculating that another Democrat will take over so they can play self righteous

Yes CD and Doug
I have mixed emotions

I am glad so see the heat on Cuomo who I dislike but I am not sure of all this he said she said being used to destroy someone's life

but if true - yes  he should be out

then again good luck getting him to resign

as for NYC ->>> go Curtis !!!

I remember watching the Cornell graduate (late 70s or very early 80's)
 on TV with my mother and being impressed with him , calling him a genius
and my mother saying "I think so too"

(the Guardian Angel days - which at first spooked the NYC PD )

Yes.  Killed them AND lied about it.  Where were the NYT, WaPost, NYT, WSJ, Schumer, Gillebrand, Biden, AOC and neighboring Governors then, calling on him to resign?  AWOL.

OTOH, with two standards of justice and journalism in this country, people start to see that Democrats elevate leaders who grope, harass, stick fingers in vaginas without consent and lead the country into downward spirals while Republicans are only able to elevate leaders whose integrity can withstand great scrutiny, who grow the economy and keep us safe or they are quickly swept out of power.  Which side, in this system, develops better leaders?

and even now they only call for him to resign knowing they will simply get another Dem

"knowing they will simply get another Dem"

When Gillibrand turned on fellow Dem Senator Al Franken, it was with perfect knowledge that a liberal [female] Democrat would replace him.  How courageous.  When Tara Reade accused Trump's challenger Joe Biden of much worse, "I stand by Vice President Biden.  If she really stood by him his whole career she would know what a lech he is.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/495139-gillibrand-addresses-reade-allegations-i-stand-by-vice-president-biden

“So when we say believe women, it’s for this explicit intention of making sure there’s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth, to be heard,” Gillibrand said during a conference call with reporters about the Postal Service.

“And in this allegation, that is what Tara Reade has done. She has come forward, she has spoken, and they have done an investigation in several outlets. Those investigations, Vice President Biden has called for himself. Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden.”

The reporter followed up by asking if Democrats who were on the front lines for the hearing into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh see any “contradiction” in not speaking out on Reade’s behalf.

“No, and I stand by Vice President Biden,” Gillibrand said. “He has devoted his life to supporting women, and he has vehemently denied this allegation.”

SELECTIVE OUTRAGE.

More on this here:
https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2021/08/cuomos-sin-is-being-outsider.html

"...charging him with manslaughter might implicate other Democrats. A sexual harassment scandal is a nice safe way to dispose of a governor who could seek the presidency in 2024."

of all the things he was guilty and what finally brings him down are one sided stories improper touching stories from little girlies.
