NY may become the legal showdown for tRump and Co and we need a Democratic govenor in place. If she wins the primary, it means a Republican governor wins because she will split the votes...text book of how to elect a republican.

She is a weak candidate and she will not win. Primarying Cuomo, at this point, only serves to push up his negative ratings. And as experience shows, going into an election with heavy negative ratings help the republicans and suppress the democrats' votes. New York is a liberal city, but most of its outer boroughs and most of Upstate are not.
