In reply to the discussion: I want to talk about Andrew Cuomo for a minute. [View all]
no_hypocrisy
(54,877 posts)6. Andrew Cuomo is a classic Greek Tragedy
He had a lot going for him as Governor of New York. He was lacking for protecting nursing homes during the Covid pandemic, but otherwise, he led his state and the nation in his response.
But Cuomo followed the path of Icarus and flew too close to the Sun, where he perished.
In the mayoral race, his forte was his attempt to condemn a fellow candidate, a fellow Democrat. It didn't work and it helped to destroy whatever good will he hoped he could garner.

Straight out of MAGA playbook. Pandering for MAGA type voters who are into that

Agreed - with Cuomo I always got a strong sense of a very self-satisfied, self-promoting vibe which didn't sit well

And his response to the people of NYC rejecting him - tells us a lot about whether he harassed those women

Agreed! I can think of a handful of other politicians that I'd like to also never hear from again.

Andrew Cuomo's elitist sense of entitlement had a bomb dropped on it last night.

Yeah, remember how Joe Lieberman, after losing the primary, ran under the Connecticut for Lieberman Party?

Yup, he and fellow nepo baby RFK Jr would be nowhere if it weren't for their name.

He and Giuliani....just pure chutzpah in trying to remain relevant at any cost to their honor and dignity

He held the NYS public schools hostage while governor. All teachers hate him.

I think we can now count him as no longer a democrat, and exempt from the don't-trash-dems rule.
