(713 posts)I am pretty certain that he will run for the Presidency. I am a New Yorker, so I have been following Cuomo's career for a long time. He does not have his Father's eloquence, but I would argue that he has a kind of rough charisma.
As far as dirty laundry goes: I think he has sort of been inoculated against this by the New York Press. If there were a major scandal involving Cuomo, we would have already seen it. It would already be out.
Also, he could steal a page from the Trump play book and deny everything and then attack his opponent. Trump got elected after the Access Hollywood Tapes and a myriad of otherallegations. It did not stop him so why should it stop Cuomo?
I think Cuomo is a tough guy, and that is what we need against Trump- a tough Democrat who is willing to get into the arena and fight. The Era of Polite Politics is over.
Thanks for your post.
