In keeping with today’s theme of Democrats hating Andrew Cuomo<\/a> is today’s column by Fred Dicker, “Democrats: \u2018Anybody but Cuomo\u2019 for\u00a0president<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“Top New York Democrats<\/a> are whispering for the first time that Hillary Rodham Clinton<\/a> may not be their presidential candidate next year.\u00a0 And while they\u2019re far from agreeing on who it might be, they do agree on one thing: It won\u2019t be Gov. Cuomo.\u00a0 \u201cPeople in the party all hate him,\u2019\u2019 one of the state\u2019s best-known Democratic operatives told The Post.\u00a0 A prominent Democratic elected official added, \u201cThere\u2019s an ABC factor at work here. It\u2019s \u2018Anybody but Cuomo\u2019.\u2019\u2019 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All those people he’s fucked over are coming back to haunt him.<\/p>\n

“… Cuomo has been widely mentioned by commentators as a possible candidate for president if Clinton doesn\u2019t run, but a series of setbacks, including the investigation by US Attorney Preet Bharara into the governor\u2019s closing of the Moreland panel on corruption, as well as Cuomo\u2019s disappointing showing in last year\u2019s gubernatorial primary, has cut into his standing … Said another prominent Democrat, \u201cTwo years ago, there\u2019s no question Cuomo was a serious contender for the nomination …””<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What cut into his standing?\u00a0 Gun control.\u00a0 Fred doesn’t mention it, but right up until that point Cuomo was riding high.\u00a0 He completely lost his shit during his ’13 State of the State and it was all downhill from there.<\/p>\n
