Watched the returns from our family wedding outing in blue Minnesota last night. Was disappointed in my friend Sean’s showing for AG, I told him not to do it, but happy he will stay in the House.
Nixon blamed her loss on high turnout, strange comment on many levels. She obviously was not ready. If I recall correctly Andrew lost his first race, and his father lost at least one too. I remember at the end of my first NYC Marathon Mario was greeting finishers.
It’s tough to run for a third term, but a two-to-one win is nothing to sneeze at. Let’s hope he brings us some extra House seats in November. The GOP has a field of nobodies running statewide.
Maloney should be proud Keith…
His ads showcased his family and had NO problem to speak of…..
That’s plus….
The polling for AG was a bit off….
James had the backing of the establishment …..
THAT did the trick for her….
A Black Dem AG is gonna be headaches for Trump….
Nixon’s comment reflects her problems….
She has nothi9ng to0 do with Trump…
But like Trump she was unprepared for how hard Cuomo would go at her….
Again…
Like Maloney?
Who would think two gay people could run pretty damn good for such high state offices…
Yes….
Cuomo took his lumps back in the day and that probably was one of reasons he ran so hard after Ocasio-Cortes…
Mario talked so much he gave me a headache…
But he was a good Governor…
The family done good with a Governor and brother as a media star….
Andrew Cuomo has governed with a iron fist and THAT has given him some political hurts along the way…
His chances of gaining the Dem nomination in 2020 is slim to none…
But he might be nuts enough to try…
His New York accomplishments would look good…
But his whiny voice and sharp elbows are NOT in same league as some of the other heavyweights …
That said?
He would be a MILE above the current New Yorker in the White House….
