Fine, but I still think you should put that baby back in the stroller and call a halt to your crusade.
Really? Is that why his staff threatened to quit, just a few days ago? His going to the gym yesterday?
He is being too kind.
Here’s hoping he gets quckly to Eric Holder and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s level of spot on mockery of Gohmert’s vicious but mentally challenged posturing.
This is the one topic Trump cannot deny reality.
Cynthia Nixon might be an obnoxious downtown progressive champagne socialist ‘type,’ but she’s sincere and smart and good. Cuomo is the all-around awful silver spoon son of a good political patriarch, though he’s mostly good at this stuff, which is somewhat hard and important not to fuck up. I think she’d be doing a fine job in his shoes right now. But he’s not fucking this up (apart from the continued theatrical potshots at his hapless perma-victim de Blasio and the ridiculous disappointed-dad-in-chief routine, which is getting old but I’ll let it slide). He’s a competent crisis manager, and that’s probably the most important thing we ask of our executives.
“I’ve thought about [running for Governor] for eight years now.” Cynthia Nixon, 2018. Quite telling. Nope, she couldn’t deign to run for, oh, City Council, or State Assembly. Only Governor; anything else is way beneath her. It’s not intellect, marold, it’s character.
Maybe you can have this entitled Manhattan actress brat conduct your next colonoscopy; she’s just as qualified to do that as to run one of the most complex governments in the world.
She grew up in pretty modest circumstances. Wealth and celebrity take the edge off that experience, but you don’t forget from whence you came. You either flee to the imagined embrace of the other half, or you try to keep the faith with people who are in the same place you were. Seems to me she’s the latter type.
Covid management aside, Cuomo’s been a pretty destructive governor. He engineered Republican control of the state senate for years so he wouldn’t have to pass progressive legislation that he feared would damage his presidential prospects. And he’s petty and nasty and vindictive in a manner unbecoming of our leaders, not terribly unlike Trump in some regards. He did have the good sense not to run this year, unlike our mayor and so many others, so I’ll give him credit for that too. But given the choice, I’d say Nixon’s the one, easily.
Just anybody can do just anything? An actress with zero experience in any elective or appointive public service can magically jump to running one of the most complex governments in the world. Amazing!
Cynthia Nixon never held elective or appointive office. Nothing. Yet she possesses the stupendous arrogance to run for the top job in New York.
Sure you do; 'twas ever thus. Would you therefore include Andrew in not forgetting whence he came from? Or do you just have different rules depending on your biases?
That’s just preposterous.
I’ve not been a fan of Andrew Cuomo.He had been an excellent Attorney General, by the way. But given new information, I change my mind. What do you do, marmold?
Cuomo got a lot better as Governor, particularly his second term (by the end of his first term I had little use for him) - and this was even before his sterling work of the moment. Bet you didn’t know he tripled Universal Pre-K seats for the neediest cities in the state.
