Did you guys just hear the exchange between Joy Reid and veteran ABC journalist Carole Simpson?

[calimary]

They were talking about NY's governor, Andrew Cuomo, after today's edition of the Cuomo morning briefing ended. I'll just quote here.

Carole Simpson - "I wish he were President."

Joy Reid - "Isn't he? Kind of?"






BOOM!

That's gonna hurt. trump will be rage-tweeting about that for months.

[Upthevibe]

1. I'll kick that! Thanks for the post (I hadn't seen it) n/t

[GoCubsGo]

2. She went off on the daily circle jerks, too.

She pointed out what an utter waste of time they are, and how badly he's cowing the press. I hope MSNBC will post the whole segment. She did not mince her words.

3. K&R

[MartyTheGreek]

4. Let's start saying our defacto President Cuomo since Trump Virus Calamity n/t

[Habibi]

9. Ugh, please don't.

Cuomo has a hard enough time getting cooperation from Trump. Don't make it worse for use New Yorkers.

[wnylib]

16. This is true. I cringe every time somebody

publicly praises Cuomo because I know the Trump eogo will retaliate by withholding any cooperation that Cuomo needs.

Should not be that way, but it is.

[stopdiggin]

27. and this all has the trappings of "flavor of the month" syndrome

All credit where credit is due, of course. But it might be wise to bring the pedestal down a few feet .. and ease up on the adulation. We need to remember that comparing any functional leadership .. to the keystone cops .. is setting the bar pretty low!

(remember Giuliani? .. what a great man .. superlative leader ..)

[MyOwnPeace]

39. Good point..............

I remember everybody getting excited about Michael Avenatti - "He should run for President!"

Just what we would need - another criminal in the White House!

[pangaia]

36. Let's absolutely NOT start saying that, even if we wish it were true.

Cuomo is as brilliant as his father and he is balancing on a very fine tightrope with trump.!!

So I wish people would NOT compare them. It will just piss of trump even more and we here in NY will have it even worse than we do now.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. Is that not exactly what trump counts on? People in fear of retaliation is what got us here.

[milestogo]

5. She's snarky.

Sometimes I like it but other times its annoying.

[47of74]

20. You wouldn't like me then.

I have raised snark to the level of an art form. Especially since fuck face got elected and most especially this past month.

[VOX]

6. Trump's handlers have probably blocked his access to MSNBC.

As it is, they have to grovel, shower him with praise, and keep him away from as many triggers as possible.

[left-of-center2012]

7. I quit Joy a couple years ago.

[USALiberal]

35. I'll alert the media! nt

[yaesu]

8. This is all good and all but if MSNBC along with all the other MSM didn't give tRump a free ride

to the White House we wouldn't be having this problem.

[not_the_one]

11. What yaesu said!

[stevil]

29. Yup

It was good for ratings. I don't even think Trump expected the coverage/attention he was going to get but to his credit he know how use it as an advantage. National tv press were the middleman.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Classic trully classic.

Reid cracked a smile as wide as a ocean. And all of the Individual Camera shots were all smiles likewise.

Jackie Spears on a latter Show said it in real terms,if your state wants something you better kiss Trumps Ass.

[Ad Infinitum]

12. K&R

Too little, too late.

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

And wished for.

[efhmc]

14. A couple of broads talking. No way.

Not even worthy of being grabbed by the ???

[PatrickforO]

15. We've all wished that, I think, in comparing Cuomo to Trump.

Cuomo is not perfect by a long shot, but he's stepped up to the plate and is doing what is necessary. And yeah, we all DO wish it was Cuomo in the White House and not the corrupt, incompetent thing that IS in there.

[NellieStarbuck]

17. Gee, thanks guys.

I think it's pretty clever, but now Twitler's going to be so enraged and jealous that he's going to cut off any federal help to New York at the time we so desperately need it.

[Sogo]

18. Here's a good read: The Cuomo Brothers Vs. the President - What a Show!

21. What a wonderful article, many thanks for posting. I really enjoyed it. n/t

[Karadeniz]

22. Thanks...good read!

[True Blue American]

23. I read that, a great read.

Call it The Tale of Two Leaders!

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. Thanks for posting!

[Chemisse]

31. Wow! Stunning analysis.

"You can’t fight a Reality TV Presidency with an argument, you have to fight it with another reality show, a newer and better one.

"Governor Cuomo seems to have figured this out. If he’s loud you’re soft, if he is vicious, you are gentle, if he is lying or stretching the truth, you are being painfully honest, if he can’t really show empathy, you are empathizing all the time, even in tears at times."

[Skittles]

34. worthy of its own thread

thank you

[calimary]

37. It really is a good read!

Delicious! I may have to savor it all over again!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. Giuliani became "America's Mayor" because Bush II was AWOL. n/t

[Under The Radar]

25. Yea, you know that means New York's ventilators will be diverted

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Perfect...sadly he isnt and rump is killing us...daily.

[tiptonic]

30. So true

He needs to be drafted..

[spicysista]

32. Here's a clip for anyone interested....

It's a good snippet of the segment with Mrs. Simpson (appearing near the end of the clip) and a few other media critics.

[BrightKnight]

33. I think he could win easily. nt
