I think New York State Governor Cuomo will run in 2020

[WomenRising2017]

He's the perfect anecdote to Donald Trump.

[hrmjustin]

1. Sweet Jesu no!

[WomenRising2017]

4. Why?

He's the perfect candidate to take on Trump.

[hrmjustin]

6. Do you actually live in NY?

Cuomo likes to cut programs for working and poor people. His record shows that.

[WomenRising2017]

9. I lived upstate in the 80s.

I still follow New York politics since my family is still there. Not just upstate, but in the city and in Jersey.

Can you give me an example of the cuts to programs for working and poor people?

I think he's done a damn good job of turning New York around since the days of Pataki and Giuliani.

[hrmjustin]

12. Well his cutting 65 million from the MTA is not going well.

His cuts over the years to social welfare agencies are well documented.

[WomenRising2017]

15. Ok. I get the angst about the MTA cuts,

but he has literally improved social welfare. I don't get the disagreement there at all..

Can't please everyone, I guess.

[hrmjustin]

16. Improved?

I know many NYers who would disagree but that is an argument for another day.

Take care and rest well.

2. Cuomo and Gillibrand?

[WomenRising2017]

5. Senator Gillibrand is on of my favorites.

I used to live in her district, years ago.

She is one helluva fighter. I'm certain she'd be on team Cuomo.

[hrmjustin]

8. You can't run two people from the same state.

If you do you can't claim that state's electoral votes.

[WomenRising2017]

10. Really?

How odd.

Not that I think that would be a ticket anyway.

[FDRsGhost]

21. Gillibrand yes, Cuomo no

Gillibrand and Castro would be a great ticket.

[elleng]

3. He's uninspired me.

[WomenRising2017]

7. How did he uninspire you?

[Calculating]

11. Too much gun control baggage

He'll automatically alienate every gun owner around. If the dems want to win they need to run somebody like Bernie who won't rally the Republicans to all go out and 'vote to save the second amendment!'

[BannonsLiver]

13. It's going to be a big, wide open field

Won't bear much resemblance to 2016's three candidate race. I'm not real excited about Cuomo but I am excited about who else might get in. We shouldn't be lacking in choices that is for sure.

[WomenRising2017]

14. Who else do you think might jump in?

I think we have a huge menu of young Democratic leaders.

But Trump is proving to be a completely different animal.

Thankfully, he seems to be doing a great job of imploding on his own.

Still, we need a candidate you can take him on, and Andrew could excel at that.

[BannonsLiver]

17. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 10

Many have already been speculated about including Cuomo. There may also be a few wild cards. but a field of 10-12 candidates seems a distinct possibility.

[WomenRising2017]

18. Who are the 10?

Who are the 10 candidates you expect to jump in?

[CK_John]

22. IMO, the GOP will run Pataki again for Gov.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Newsom. Harris. Inslee. Warren. Booker. Gillibrand. Franken.

Just off the top of my head.

I don't agree with all of them on everything, but any of them would be preferable to Cuomo, to my mind.

[democratisphere]

19. Gag order.

[Trumpocalypse]

20. No way

Cuomo is a pathetic Chris Christie wannabe. He won't make through New Hampshire.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Ehhhhh. Most of the country supports legalizing marijuana. We need a candidate with a clue, there.

It's time to start remembering that there actually is a whole country west of the Lincoln Tunnel.
