5. Not my call to be honest

I don't live in NY. That said, I would have a problem voting for him in a contested primary given the stink around the book deal and the less than honest reporting of nursing home deaths. I am also not thrilled with the reports of his treatment of women. Maybe after investigation, we will find they are nothing.

I don't live in New York, and I'm quite sure I'm not in a position to fully grasp all the nuances of the situation.

Kathy Hochul or Letitia James, though NY AG's don;t have a good track record as Governor.

Leitia James having a history of visiting prostitutes.

Hochul would be associated with Cuomo and I don't think she would be a compelling enough candidate on her own to beat the smear that would be thrown at her.

Cuomo looks like the strongest Dem candidate, in spite of the current issues.

But maybe Hillary would come out of political retirement to run?

If Cuomo runs again, I will vote for him and will do local volunteer work on his behalf. Even with his faults, he is better than anyone the fascist party would run.

but if I was a New Yorker he wouldn't be my pick. Scandals involving nursing home deaths and his treatment of women would make him a NO for me.

especially if one or more of these multiple investigations go truly pear shaped. If he is indeed completely cleared on all of them, then he is a far stronger candidate, so time will tell.

I've resided in NY for 9 years now. I didn't vote to reelect Cuomo in 2018.



I would like to express my gratitude to Gov. Cuomo for being the voice of reason, comfort and guidance during a frightening pandemic by providing his press conferences. We sure in the hell didn't get any of that from the White House.



Here in WNY, the Trumpanzees were displaying yard sign calling the coronavirus the "Cuomo Virus". These signs went up not long after Gov. Cuomo spanked tRumps ass live on national television. I still suspect the nursing home and sexual assault claims against Cuomo are a repuke hit job that pissed off tRumps loyal toadies. I'm still waiting for the investigation outcomes.


If anyone isn't sure what I'm referring to Cuomo spanking tRumps ass live on national tv, I posted the video for your enjoyment.
