The Democratic Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo is proudly anti-union and pro-Wall Street. Awesome, can't wait for him to run for President in 2020. Nomiki Konst and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section
"Gov. Andrew Cuomo, leader of the New York State Democratic Party and a rumored 2020 Democratic presidential contender, told reporters today that his party “wasn’t extraordinarily successful” when it wholly controlled Albany— and so he’s doing “the best I can” with the current State Senate, where breakaway Democrats have kept the GOP in power.
Asked whether unified Democratic governance in the state capital would be a net benefit, Cuomo answered in the negative, recalling the period between 2008 and 2010 when his party held the Assembly, State Senate and governor’s mansion—a period characterized by infighting, backbiting, chaos and corruption scandals. After a special election in Harlem this month, registered Democrats will almost certainly enjoy a slim numerical edge in the 63-seat body, but conservative Brooklyn State Senator Simcha Felder caucuses with the Republicans, and the eight-member Independent Democratic Conference has enjoyed a power-sharing arrangement with the GOP leadership for almost five years.”*
