(713 posts)I guess that we will just agree to disagree about Cuomo. I think he is an aggressive politician, which is what we need against Trump. I do not see him as mild-mannered at all. He is a bit of an attack dog.
I would rather that our politics were not so course and we could have more principled candidates. Yet in the Age of Trump, we need a Pit Bull to go up against Trump.
Michelle Obama said that "when they go low, we go high". That is a good sentiment, but I don't think it works against Trump. We need to stop playing nice, and call Trump out for the bastard that he is. If he goes low, we have to punch low also.
Yes, Cuomo IS self-interested. I think that we can use that. We need someone who is ambitious and aggressive and on our side. This is a street fight, not a garden party.
