In reply to the discussion: I now believe Joe Biden will run for President in 2020. [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)One of the reasons I would like to see Andrew Cuomo take on Trump is that Cuomo is a street fighter who knows how to counter-punch. I think Cuomo could really give Trump Hell in a debate. Biden is pretty tough also, but again, I think he has had his chances at the Presidency.
Cuomo himself is no Spring Chicken at age 60, but he has the energy, smarts, and toughness to take on Trump. He also has a strong resume and tenure as Governor of New York. He is a hard-nosed, pragmatic politician who gets stuff done. In New York, he has advanced progressive policies such as effective Gun Control, Marriage Equality, Free College Tuition Programs, etc.
I would like to see a tough New York Democrat take on a blustery coward and bully like Trump. We need Democrats who are done playing nice. I think Cuomo could knock Trump out in a Prize Fight, metaphorically speaking.
