General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I now believe Joe Biden will run for President in 2020. [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)I would vote for him in the General Election if he won the Democratic Primary. Still, I would prefer to see someone else. It is not just his age, but also he has been on the scene for too long. I would like to see someone with a mix of experience and newness to the Presidential contest. Joe has had his shot at the Presidency. We need new faces, but with the right experience.
Personally, I like Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York. He has never run for the Presidency, but he has a good resume and great Executive Experience as Governor. He has Federal experience as the former Secretary of HUD during the Clinton Administration. I also like Cuomo because he is tough. He is a Street Fighter who knows how to throw a punch. I think we need someone like that to go up against the blustery coward Trump.
I think if Cuomo got the Nomination, he would have a lot of great people to choose as a Running Mate. I like Kamala Harris. There are plenty of other rising stars in the Democratic Party (Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, etc.) that would be good running mates.
So Cuomo is tough, a political street fighter who has won progressive victories in New York (Marriage Equality, Gun Control, Free College Tuition Program, etc.).
