...........
This was a colossal blunder how COVID was handled by this federal government, he continued. Shame on all of you. Six months, lives lost. Hit the reset button, yes.
........
Because if the American people are continued [to be lied to], the confusion and the chaos and the denial will continue, he said. If the president actually tells them the truth and says, I made a mistake, hes not going to be telling them anything they dont know.
Every American knows he made a mistake, the governor continued. Every American knows this was the worst government blunder in modern history. Not since the Vietnam War have Americans sat in their living rooms to see the numbers on the TV screen every night saying what a mistake it was.
Trust the American people, Cuomo remarked. And if you dont trust them and you dont trust their intelligence and you dont trust their ability to handle the information then you shouldnt ask to be their leader.

(18,187 posts)The goal is to reach Republicans/Trump supporters with the message that Trump needs a reset on covid policy, not to alienate them or make them defensive to the point where they continue to dig in.

(432 posts)If you hire Jarret as an Air Traffic Controller, and planes crashing people die, do you just shrug your shoulders and say, Well, he did his best, so you cant blame him.
HELL NO!
The blunders were baked into this from day one. It is genocide, pure and simple.

(557 posts)this is VP material. Kudos to Gov Cuomo for speaking the truth.He would make a excellent president. I am going to keep proclaiming this until I am blue in the face. He looks out for his state. He is not afraid of calling these criminals out. He has the experience to run this country on one hand. He has the platform to start now. If Joe was not boxed in a corner and could choose his own VP without the noise of the delegates ,I am sure he would chose this man in a heartbeat. I know the two white men is taboo around ,but I am 100000000% sure he would help propel us to the white house and he is a progressive and knows how to govern and is not afraid to go toe to toe with Trump because he comes from the same state Trump comes from and he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Imagine if he was on the ticket with Joe? Joe can always put a couple of woman and women on color on the SC and it will be wonderful. I just think the people who demanded he has to choose a woman or woman of color has put this man in a box. I honestly do not think Biden want a woman on his ticket because he can read the tea-leaves. I wonder if Obama tell him to choose Cuomo if the mass will turn on him? Biden/Cuomo. B.C.Love it.

(36,640 posts)Trump is a NY yankee and it did not hurt him.
He called Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they love him in the south.
After all, he 'tells it like it is'.

(1,749 posts)New York State legislature in the control of repukes. He is NOT good VP material for the democratic candidate. I admire how he has finally come around to handling the Covid crisis. He was late to the game. Didn't close schools soon enough. Didn't implement a lock down soon enough.

(43,028 posts)TY Governor Cuomo! Democrats have to stick together and bring their best game. We have a lot of ammunition because of every action Trump has taken. Let it rip from now until TRUMP IS GONE!

Then he says..................
.. "...you start with the truth.".

This toxic mess was dreamed up in the Oval Office after many, many phone calls with the Kremlin.

(81,091 posts)Your suspicions are the same as mine.
Id take Cuomo as a VP. But Im looking forward to having a woman on the ticket.
I was already eager for a woman President four years ago... and lots of Americans agreed. She DID get the most votes.

Thanks for your thoughts Andrew Cuomo!

Only a self-absorbed low life would not withdraw from the election - how could anyone responsible for all these deaths even think about asking people to vote for him?
