The press has been gushing about the performance of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for weeks. The media often compares Cuomo’s “decisive” response to the coronavirus pandemic to the president, and guess who always wins?
Whether it’s good PR from the governor’s office or just the media worshipping a liberal who says mean things about Donald Trump, it hardly matters. What matters is results. And in that department, Andrew Cuomo has been a miserable failure — using several metrics.
And it’s not just the numbers. The panicky, sometimes hysterical New York governor began whining about the federal government (specifically the president) not doing anything to help the states with getting medical supplies.

He sure did. Let's see,
(1) he banned medical doctors from prescribing the anti malaria drug to their patients when they showed signs of COVID 19;
(2) the anti malaria drug could only be administered by a hospital and by the time the people were admitted to the hospitals they were critical.
(3) seniors that were admitted to the hospital for COVID 19 were returned or sent directly to a nursing home to die.
(4) he infected residents at the nursing home with the COVID 19 by sending sick senior to the facilities which were not equipped with adequate manpower, supplies and expertise.
Yep, I would say that his guidance/regulations killed a lot of people in New York. Was it for the extra money that they would get if it was a COVID 19 patient or is he plan incompetent. Let's see, if he allowed the doctors to treat their patients with the anti malaria drug, maybe just maybe the death rate in NY would be half.

New York was the worst governed State in the country before the virus happened (maybe except for California). Their taxes are astronomical, crime is out of control while criminals are arrested and released within hours, the legislature stands and cheers infanticide, corruption is blatant and never prosecuted. They have little to be proud of. Liberals love Cuomo because he talks the talk and that is more than enough to thrill them.

And yet, when I try to watch old sitcom reruns on TV Land to escape from the virus talk for awhile, every last break has the same promo for "The Daily Show" with the painfully unfunny Trevor Noah gushing about how wonderful Cuomo is and how he has such a man-crush on him that he's changed his Tinder profile to "Cuomo-sexual." Yes, that's what passes for comedy on Comedy Central now. I've taken to lunging for the remote to mute it. Is some draft-Cuomo committee paying for all that free ad time?

Coumo is adding insult to injury by begging for billions of taxpayer dollars, to fix his broken government! Democrats, their union cohorts, and special interests have really hurt the state, so they should be the ones making sacrifices- not taxpayers from other states!
How many billions are the unions sitting on (not how much they admit to, but how much they really have?)
How many assets does the state own that it doesn't need, but owns as a result of special interest group pressure, like the envirowackos? Sell off those lands. Eliminate programs for special interests. Be responsible.

Coumo is a sniveling P.O.S, a wanna-be celebrity, a panderer always spewing his dictums to the unwashed citizens because he knows best, talking down to the viewers like he was their enlightenment . He pleaded for more of every supply imaginable to fight the virus, but did not need all he whined for ( beds and ventilators ), he should be indicted for manslaughter for KNOWINGLY sending patients back to nursing homes to their deaths ( and spews on T.V. that one illness in a nursing home expands like wildfire - like no one else knows it ) - he used the money that was available for preparing for a medical problem to fund Leftist's projects that FAILED , to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, he does NOT respond to various Counties UpState who request help ( a fact ), and on and on. NOW he wants the Fed Govt to bail out NYS, which was in financial distress PRIOR to the pandemic and he always blames others for the State's inability handle it's budget, and so on. The MSM covers for him daily, no matter his incompetence, because it is the Bluest of Blue states. He and the Mayor of NYC are two fascist jerks. **Outside of NYC, Albany, and Buffalo, the State could reopen with little problem because most Counties are in good shape, but Cuomo has to show he is the BOSS.

He is bad but I don't know about earning the title of "worst." We expected Andy the Mouth to act the part of a Mafia don, badmouth the President and make a grab for more than his share of the federal goodies, all the time running up the death count in New York. A few of the other democrat governors were able to mask their inner Napoleon for quite a while before dropping the hammer on their citizens. It's the surprise moves like shutting down an entire city in New Mexico, locking down Oregon until July or running the gamut of totally stupid dictatorial moves like Whitmer has done. Other honorable mentions like Northam, Wolf, Newsom and Pugsley Pritzker have acted with predictable stupidity but have not yet crossed the final red line. They need to step up if they expect a prize.

#1 hits the nail on the head. Commissar Cuomo is directly responsible for all the problems in his state. Spending money on pet projects instead of restocking medical supplies for emergencies is not the sign of a good leader. These blue states refuse to grasp that THEY are the first line of defense for their state, the Feds are not. The Feds are the back up and second in line. This is not on Trump, this is on the blue state commissars who did not do their own jobs.
I truly hope that Trump can hold the line on not bailing these blue states out of their debt problems. I don't mind reimbursing them for emergency stuff like the virus crisis, but their state debt that they themselves racked up? No way in the hot place should any taxpayer funds be used for that purpose. They made messy beds, now let them deal with the wrinkles.
