Cuomo to present Clinton with Brady award

The Brady’s are bestowing Hillary with an award and Andrew is going to give it to her:

“… Gov. Cuomo is set to make a joint appearance with Hillary Clinton Thursday night at a pro-gun control gala in the city. Cuomo will help introduce Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, when she receives a “leadership” award named after his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, at a Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence dinner at Cipriani on Broadway. “Hillary Clinton has spent decades taking on the gun lobby and fighting in Washington for sensible gun control,” Cuomo told the Daily News. “This is a battle to save lives and I’m proud to help in any way I can.” …”

I seriously doubt that.

Some speculate this an effort by Andrew to get himself onto the ticket.  I don’t see that for several reasons:

  1. The V.P. candidate is supposed to bring something to the ticket that is lacking: money, experience, special interest support, etc.  All Andrew is bringing is more asshole.
  2. Democrats do not like him and Hillary has enough problems with her base already.
  3. It is my understanding that Andrew asked Mr. Bill before unveiling SAFE if now was the time to push gun control.  He said it was and right after Andrew announced SAFE Mr. Bill was out there saying Andrew made a mistake.  Before SAFE he was considered by many to have presidential aspirations and Mr. Bill squashed that.

“… As for why the organization is honoring Clinton, Brady Campaign President Dan Gross said in a statement that “throughout her career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly put the safety of the American people above the influence and interests of the corporate gun lobby …””

No, they are doing it for public relations.  They have largely been supplanted by Bloomberg/Everytown and are desperate for attention.

  1. Huh, I was just as you wrote, thinking this was possible the way for him to get on the ticket. However, as I thought you proved that may not be the case Jacob. I am also interested as to how you think maybe Bill made Andy a idiot for some reason by giving him the SAFE nod. I am now thinking that maybe Bill did that on purpose to make him sink even further. However, what is your opinion of why Hillary is allow Andy to be next to her given that maybe Bill doesn’t really like him. Your thoughts??

  2. Then why is Hillary making such a big push for gun control now? Does she truly think she knows better than Bill? Or is because the issue of gay marriage no longer matters as a polarizing issue?

  3. Another reason Cuomo will not be on a Hillary ticket.
    They are both from NY. They would forfeit NY State’s 29 electoral votes. See the 12th Amendment.
