I really like him but he doesn’t seem like he’d be much fun at a party.

Most of the videos I’ve seen of him have amounted to a reporter asking “How do you feel about this jackass?” and he spends the next while ranting about the jackass. So, you could say he spends all his time ranting about jackasses, which isn’t much fun at a party.

I think I’d _prefer_ a politician who isn’t fun at parties.

Well, he’s not fun at the Republican party.

Have you ever seen the banter that he regularly has with his brother Chris? He is intelligent, witty and self-deprecating. However, he is running a region that is arguably the most impacted by COVID in the world. His public appearances when discussing this subject are not a fair reflection on his true personality. But in normal times, I think he’s someone you’d definitely want at your party.

Watching his banter with his brother you’d think he’d be a great guy to hang around with. But also someone who can be serious when the situation warrants.

He showed real leadership, above and beyond, getting stuff done that needed to be done that not only did the fed not do, but the fed was opposing it getting done.

There’s been some discussion as to whether he has a pierced nipple (or two?).

I’m betting on a ticker tape parade after this is all over.

For a bit of color, it’s interesting to note that Andrew Cuomo dated Sandra Lee for a number of years. She is famous for her Food Network show “Semi-homemade” and I’m pretty sure being drunk in every episode.

Cuomo stayed by Sandra Lee’s side during her breast cancer battle. She’s said he was her rock during that difficult period.

Sandra recently said they’re still close friends.

I really wish Biden hadn’t promised to run a female veep. A Biden/Cuomo (or vice-versa) ticket would be a winner.

At any rate, I see him running in 2024.

Or 2028, after Biden’s second term.

That would be one hell of a ticket.

At Biden’s age, I don’t see him having a second term.

Cuomo in '24.

Actually, I (and a lot of other people) could never understand why Cuomo’s dad never ran for president.

A lot of people said similar about Malaysia’s Mahathir, who became prime minister again in his 90s. Closer to home, look how long Strom Thurmond served. No, I expect two full terms from Biden.

I was thinking along the same lines. Delaware + New York isn’t very broad geographically but Cuomo’s done well in the national spotlight, trading jabs and taking the high road.
