what a lovely thought. But not now. Now when we are dealing with a bunch of hard core misogynists and bigots. Sadly, right now we need a strong white male. Andrew Cuomo is running for NYC mayor. I would love to see him run for president. (I'd love Josh shapiro too but again with the bigot thing...he's jewish)

Agree with you about the misogynists/bigots, but Cuomo is a crook. And don't forget the allegations about sexual misconduct. Last thing we need is another crook/groper in the WH.

Thank you Dik de Bruijn ! He was governor of my state, New York State. He is not fit to hold any elected position ! Saying he’s a crook is being kind. Unless you were from a town or city in New York State, you might not know that he, in his own right, is a Donald Trump ! He bullies, yells, seeks revenge, and lies like an old torn rug !

but he believes in democracy and he's tough. He'd make trump eat crow.

the truth is, there aren't a lot of completely honest politicians. right now we need someone smart and tough. Find me someone else and I'm all in.

"but he believes in democracy . . . " He believes in elevating Andrew Cuomo, and if that requires kissing Trump's . . . ring, then I believe he'd do it in a NY minute. Same basic personality -- narcissistic bullies craving attention and power. [But that's most politicians except maybe Josh Hawley. He wants attention, power, and a bunker to hide in when things get rough.]

They are all flawed in some way. Yeah cuomo is a bully. If all he did was bully republicans so they shaped up, I’d love it. But it might not end there so I guess no. But we need someone who is willing to duke it out with the republicans

What exactly does "believes in democracy" mean to you? If his ability to "make Trump eat crow" is appealing to you, maybe you're just looking for a bully to beat up another bully?

Candace, he does not believe in democracy as we know it. I wish I was wrong.

Adam Kinsinger, Corey Booker. Trump isn’t very smart. He really doesn’t know much about government history or leadership… our next pick needs to be some one with brains and character. Because we have none of that in the WH

I live in Harlem. MY neighbors are black, a lot of my friends are black. I would vote for a black man, or a woman, black or white as long as they are the best candidate. I voted for Kamala. I thought she was fantastic. I’m just being realistic. Right now our country would not vote for a woman or a black man, and that’s why we have trump. If Kamala Harris had been a white man I think trump would lost. A lot of people sat the election out rather than vote for Kamala because of her gender or race. Until we can figure out a way to subdue the bigots we’re stuck with nominating candidates that are WASPs.

Trump would have lost if musk didn't rig the election for him to win it. Russia also had a hand in that along with voter suppression, votes being burned, votes being dumped. Millions of votes were lost bc of these occurrences. Watch Vigilante Inc - doc that details everything illegal that happened. They had 200 bomb threat calls. Voting boxes were set on fire. Kamala did win and they stole it from her to keep themselves out of jail. Trump and musk are criminals of course they're going to cheat to stay out of prison - they've said it in their own words. I have the video

Unfortunately, I think you're right. I really thought we had it this time with Kamala, but I guess there are more racists and sexists in this country than I thought. Kamala lost ground with young men, black men, and hispanic men.

And, because she represented a continuation of Biden’s four years! 1) not addressing the undocumented was a huge mistake.

Cuomo has baggage.

Expand full comment

Linda, yes, he has a disturbing amount of baggage. He was my governor. He should never ever be allowed to run for any public office !

Cuomo is NOT who we need for president. He's kind of a crook.

A liar , a bully, a wannabe tRump ! Those of us who closely followed his reign as governor of New York, know they got him on the sexual what he’s capable of .Alas,My governor ! He should not be trusted to be New York mayor or any other elected position !

He’s not a crook. There were never accusations that he was a crook. He was run out of office because of sexual harassment charges

Alas, he is a crook. With holding money from New York City public schools. At the same time promoting the charter schools. ( Please, make no mistake,there are good charter schools and they’re a bad charter schools. The same goes for the public school system.) Then when he wanted to run again, he declared money for the public school system was found, unearthed ! He didn’t like Mayor Di Blasio. Cuomo went out of his way to antagonize, bully, showing huge disrespect To the mayor, In public no less. Cuomo is so much like Donald Trump. He pretends to be a Democrat !

He said something to the effect that he was going to clean up the “swamp” in Albany.. Yet, when fingers started to point, that he was part of this swamp, he closed down the investigation ! I almost forgot, he was in charge of the investigation !

So many people liked watching and listening to him when on a daily basis, he’d calmed folks down during the pandemic. Yet, his façade began to crumble.That he lied, 🤥 about a number of things in regard to his handling Of the pandemic !

The sexual/Physical Abuse Was probably the easiest way to Finally “Get him !”

Is kind of a crook like being kind of pregnant?

Consider: Andy Beshear. He’s term limited in Kentucky after this term and he clearly knows how to talk and appeal to red voters considering he increased his win margin for re-election. Plus he’s relatively young and I want the era of fifty and sixty year old presidents back lol. Enough of diaper Donnie.

Also, Josh Shapiro is my governor and I selfishly want to keep him in Pennsylvania for a full two terms because he’s damn good at his job.
