Wow. Amazing. Can't even get a fucking headline grammatically correct. But hey, Cuomo's asshole must've been tasty! Everyone needs to see Andrew Cuomo's inspiring words on the fight against coronavirus Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/politics/andrew-cuomo-new-york-coronavirus/index.html
biden is so close to mentally gone... I think the DNC is going to have to give him the old superdelegate switcheroo. The excuse will be the primaries being impacted.
Unknown unknowns are definitely in the air. No one would love to see Joe shiite the bed before the convention and see the process opened up more than Pocahontas. Her long term plan always was/is that both Joe and Bernie would go down eventually, she just hoped it would be before she went down- not after. That is why she has not endorsed Biden. She knows that if the convention ever went wide open that she can pick up a good share of Bernie's votes and Biden cannot and Bernie has lots of support but it is capped at certain point. Bring Cuomo and others into the mix and all the voting blocks get watered down and they have cobble together a coalition behind someone like its a parliamentary system. Who that would be is less clear these days. I guess Joe was well on his way to a majority but I don't know where were are on that. The buyer's remorse is definitely setting in. No one but a political hack thinks that Joe would be anything other than lost in space in a crisis.
Dems are truly trapped like a rat with Joe now. Very ugly. As with the extremely late arrival of Bloomberg's arrival on the scene, the tards will rise up to argue that Cuomo will not be the nominee, just as Bloomberg had no chance. Ahhh, no shiite Sherlock. That is not even remotely the point. The point is that the dems are getting toward finalizing a nomination and have banged on every door and alternative they know of to avoid Biden. We have surges of Kamala, Bootyboy, Warren, Klobo, Bernie, and now they are developing working with far, far, far out-of-the money options. Not just in the fringe but in the mainstream. I mean even mainstream dems desperately want to hear about it if there is an alternative to Biden. Again, it has nothing to do with Cuomo. It has to do with the dems being trapped like rats with a real womp....womp....womper of a candidate. Not a good mix, given what lies ahead. Turn back tards, turn back. We advised you to do that with Bernie and finally that reality set in for you and you smartened up. Where are you headed with Joe, jeeezus, where are you headed. You are either nominating him just to watch him continue to die on the vine either in the general election or in the first month of office? Where are you headed? Think of the country. Don't just analyze this from your brain stem. Could a ‘Draft Cuomo’ Movement Be in the Democrats’ Future? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks to the media while visiting the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, which will be partially converted into a hospital for patients affected by coronavirus, March 23, 2020. (Mike Segar/Reuters) It’s not out of the question if Biden keeps looking out of touch and irrelevant. Democrats are publicly talking about “contingency options” for their July convention in Milwaukee in case the coronavirus persists in being a public-health threat. But privately, some are also talking about needing a Plan B if Joe Biden, their nominee apparent, continues to flounder. Some Democrats are openly talking up New York governor Andrew Cuomo, whose profile has soared during the crisis, as a Biden stand-in. Yesterday, a Draft Cuomo 2020 account on Twitter announced that “Times have changed & we need Gov. Cuomo to be the nominee. Our next POTUS must be one w/an ability to lead thru this crisis.” Charles Pierce, the politics blogger for Esquire magazine, wrote a piece headlined “With Two Words, Andrew Cuomo Established Himself as the Leader This Country Needs Now.” He enthused that Cuomo’s news conference last Friday “essentially (shutting) down the economy of his state . . . was a master class in leveling with the public.” Fueled by favorable national publicity that governors rarely get, Cuomo has quickly become the standard-bearer for liberals who don’t want to quickly open up parts the economy at the same time we combat the coronavirus. This Tuesday, the governor tweeted: “We are not willing to sacrifice 1-2% of New Yorkers. That’s not who we are. We will fight to save every life we can. I am not giving up.” Last weekend, Cuomo told reporters he might go into Manhattan himself to yell “You are wrong” at people defying his lockdown. Democrats are increasingly worried that Joe Biden will have trouble being relevant and compelling in the long four months between now and when he is nominated in July. Lloyd Constantine, who was a senior policy adviser to New York governor Eliot Spitzer from 2007 to 2008, puts it bluntly: “Biden is a melting ice cube. Those of us who have closely watched as time ravaged the once sharp or even brilliant minds of loved ones and colleagues, recognize what is happening to the good soldier Joe.” Indeed, Biden seemed to disappear when the virus began dominating the news cycle early in March. Biden’s media presence “abruptly shriveled,” writes Kalev Leetaru, a senior fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber & Homeland Security. In contrast, daily mentions of Cuomo as of last Sunday “accounted for 1.4 percent of online news coverage compared with 2.9 percent for Trump.” In an attempt to remain relevant, Biden’s campaign team hastily built a TV studio in the basement of his Wilmington, Del., home and began streaming daily appearances by him from it this week. They have not gone well. In his first outing on Monday, Biden looked as he were lost somewhere on the set of Wayne’s World, the 1990s comedy movie that pretended it was a public-access cable show broadcast from a basement. Biden stumbled, slurred his words, misnamed one of the nation’s governors, lost his train of thought, and had to desperately signal to staff for help while he was on camera. A Tuesday appearance went no better, even though it was with a friendly liberal group of interviewers from ABC’s The View. “We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what — no matter what,” Biden asserted to universal head scratching. He attempted to pick up on Cuomo’s assertion that lives must be the absolute priority in the crisis — but with limited success: “I don‘t agree with the notion that somehow it’s okay to let the — let people die and I’m not sure that would happen.” Liberal pundits aren’t even trying to defend Biden’s recent media performances. Alex Wagner, a former MSNBC anchor and current co-host of Showtime’s political-magazine show The Circus, wrote a piece this week for The Atlantic magazine called: “Stay Alive, Joe Biden: Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence.” She discussed Biden’s current status as if he barely existed: “Biden was never really convincing anyone on the stump — his political power at this point is an idea, held collectively, about how to defeat Trump.” Of course, the mathematics of how Governor Cuomo could be drafted to become the Democratic nominee are daunting. He has zero delegates and no campaign and can’t be seen as being distracted by politics during a crisis. But Emily Zanotti of The Daily Wire says that if states continue to postpone or cancel upcoming primaries, a window of opportunity could be there: “Cuomo may be able to fill a hole for needy Democrats who are concerned that neither of the two frontrunners, [Bernie] Sanders and Biden, are within striking distance of winning a majority of delegates and the Democratic nomination outright.” https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/03/could-a-draft-cuomo-movement-be-in-the-democrats-future/
