Andrew Cuomo says "America was never that great" Do you agree?

[Fuzzy Bear]

This is enough to cost him the election in November.  It's possible now.

His Presidential campaign will never get off the ground now.  The big donors will not see him as a winner.  And, again, that's assuming he's re-elected.

It was a comment more dumb than Gerald Ford saying, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe." during the second debate with Carter.

I assume you arent referring to NY-GOV?

This is the kind of thing that can get blown out of proportion to where Cuomo has a real fight to be re-elected, even in Democratic NY.

Although I prefer Nixon, this was a very courageous thing to say and perhaps it is an understatement,
but I can confidently say that I agree 100%. Right on Cuomo.

To think otherwise is a little crazy considering our very ugly history.

It isn't politically correct, but when was I ever politically correct?

I don't blame America First; first I have my coffee and then I blame America.

Liberal sentiment like this will result in Cuomo winning reelection in the low single digits at best.

Where were the lies?

America has been, and is, a GREAT nation.  I do agree that its struggles is to be a GOOD nation.

I believe it has been both, and remains so, especially by the standards of the world.  Cuomo's statement illustrates that difference between telling lies and giving false information.

And it's GOING to hurt him.  I saw the video clip; it is going to be one of those "gifts that keep on giving".  Cuomo damaged Democrats' chances with his comments.  I never thought that it would be ANDREW CUOMO that would be so tone deaf as to do this.

How did Cuomo damage Democrats chances? Like what the hell are you even talking about?

After the Democrats are hit with a flurry of soundbites of this comment, you'll know.

The Democratic Party of my day was less ideological, and sensitive to the more conservative views of moderate independents and independent Republicans.  Today's Democratic Party lives in this leftist bubble, acting as if no one but the current audience is actually listening.

Cuomo made a statement like this as a sop to the far left, whom he has to keep happy, but he didn't have to do THAT to keep them happy.  The Democratic Party has had to work to convince Americans that they really do have a sense of "My Country, right or wrong . . ." and all that comes after it.  And they get a foil like Trump who, at some levels, helps the rehabbing of that aspect of their image.  Then, a guy like Cuomo, flatly says "America was never that great , , ,"  People today don't get what was so bad about a Presidential candidate saying that he took a trip to Vietnam and got a "brainwashing" by the Generals, and it's too bad George Romney isn't still alive to give them a lesson in semantics.

This is the worst thing to say as a politician from New York on almost the eve of 9/11. But, then again, Andrew Cuomo only has the Governorship to sit upon, and wants a higher level position.

He should be smart again, as should of said what Dems have been saying all along, Make America, Great Again, doesn't mean turning back the clock, to the bad ol' days.

This is, actually, a surprisingly refreshing view.
