Gov. Andrew Cuomo Shocks Audience: America 'Was Never That Great'
2018-08-16
[PJ] Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) "drew gasps from the crowd" on Wednesday when he belittled America in response to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

"We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great," Cuomo said during a speech in New York. He went on to argue that only when Democrat priorities like women's rights are realized will this dark, oppressive dystopia known as the U.S.A. ever become great.

"We have not reached greatness, we will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged, we will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution," he said.

Cuomo, the son of former New York governor Mario Cuomo and older brother of CNN Anchor Chris "Fredo" Cuomo, is widely believed to be a contender for the Democratic nomination for the White House in 2020.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro called on Cuomo to apologize, saying, America "with its imperfections, has always been great."

#14  in 2010, Andrew Cuomo's campaign slogan was something like "let's make New York Great Again"

before that, in 1991, Bill Clinton had a MAGA slogan for a short time

#13  DJ, Giullani was "only" mayor of NYC, not governor of the state.

I had to live through all three terms of Mario Cuomo's reign. Andrew is a bigger POS than his father ever was.

#10  NY did elect Guiliani, every once in a while they seem to tire of the crime and taxes.

#9  I've read articles that talk about folks leaving NY because Trumps tax cuts (and the bit that disallowed deducting your massive state taxes as a from federal taxes have really thrown a light on how highly taxed certain states are. NY is heading for a downward spiral if their leaders can't come up with more than blaming Trump.

#8  Trump lives rent free in Andrew's head

There should be plenty of room, depending on how thick his skull is.

#7  There are a hell of a lot of countries we can send you to slick that seem to be better than what you think the US is.

Venezuela comes to mind.

#6  "America Was Never That Great!"

There's a surefire winner (sarc on). Cuomo is such a loser--a part of the I hate America movement. Maybe, he'll come up with his next slogan as "Make New York Suck Some More."

#5  we will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution,

Divide and rule.

#3  Cuomo, ... is widely believed to be a contender for the Democratic nomination for the White House in 2020.

Please - nominate this man!

#2  My guess would be that Andrew just set a new record for shortest time from original speech to Republican campaign ad. Sadly, it probably won't make much difference in this deep blue state.
