(36,017 posts)Because if "impressed" is your standard for keeping a Democratic governor, you might consider a less negative and more balanced summation. But maybe the negative is all you notice, who knows. If you worry about another Republican contender, you and Cuomo's other detractors here might also consider
1.
Of the thousand things he had to decide, do and show up for to save millions out of NY's 19 million over a year ago,
-- with no info about the tens of thousands coming in from Europe with covid in February and March,
-- with obstruction and twitter bullshit, no supplies, no money, no medical information from Trump;
-- with NO Democratic governors getting one damn thing from that vicious crook.
A year later, after all the above, he gets one damn thing wrong like a late report to the Albany legislature, that the legislature agreed could come later, given that he was so 24/7 busy
and his own party piles on the side of that whiny ego point scoring reporter & legislator who tried to make a federal case out of one misstep, with their all-or-nothing perfectionist huffery.
All that was wrong and stupid enough.

Before Covid, Governor Cuomo has won against more Republican opponents than any other NY Governor.
Before Covid, Cuomo won by bigger vote margins of any of his Democratic predecessors in NY history.
But hell no, around here he's not good enough to be a Democratic governor for some!
So here they are, all facts weighed, ready to just fault find and throw his ass under the bus, all facts weight, when allegations -- mere allegations -- come up.

I support Democrats. Not perfect Democrats. Democrats.
I don't have to always agree with them, they don't have to be flawless for me to support them.
That makes a unified party.
Unity = mutual support despite differences.
If 60% of New York voted for this Democrat;
if his own world famous Health Commissioner and doctor defends his reports in a state with 51% privately owned nursing homes, with 70% of the whole country's nursing homes being privately run, AND whose dubious and late and non-existent reporting on their own covid deaths have hampered accuracy and information for loved ones and Democratic governors of 49 other states, then
Governor Cuomo is good enough for me.
Bring on the investigation. Over allegations. pffffft
