I do not have the time or the inclination to do an extensive search for videos at this moment. I live in New York and watch the local news shows, including "New York Now" on PBS. They cover State Government. They cover Cuomo. If you are at all interested in Cuomo, you can go online yourself. Here is a quick link to Cuomo speaking at the 2016 Democratic Convention. He attacks the Republicans for being fear mongers-
Another example of Cuomo being an attack dog- He spoke of Cynthia Nixon's candidacy as "silly season", in an implied statement that she is not a serious candidate. Cuomo is belittling her, trying to undercut her image. We will see more of this as we get closer to the Governor's Election in the Fall.
So, that is an example of Cuomo going after an opponent aggressively. Cuomo goes after his political opponents. He is not polite to those who are not respectful to him. He fights his opponents. That is why he would be a good candidate to go up against Trump. I would like to see more Progressive Candidates in general, but I think Cuomo would take the fight to Trump. We need a strong candidate to take on Trump. That is why I like Cuomo.
Edit- There seems to be a problem with the link I posted above. You can find Cuomo speeches by going on YouTube and searching "Andrew Cuomo Speech". His speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention is online and is about 15 minutes long. In it, he goes after Trump and fear mongering Republicans.

If our candidate doesn't speak to black women, we will not win. Can Biden do that?
