People really don’t understand just how jokerified the Dem primary electorate has become. The emerging view is that after 8 years of “playing by the rules and going high”, it might be time to throw the rules out the window and do what the other side does.
Kicking this one around a bit, and the intention is to not make people mad by saying it:
I think one reason Cuomo is in the running to mount a successful comeback is that lots of Dem voters have seen the Reps pay little to no price for running overt rapists and sexual predators.
My concern is that we may soon see Democrats lose some of the candidate quality edges we have enjoyed, at least among new challengers, if we are not careful about it. But the elites have actually mostly resisted this phenomenon, so upstart candidates may still struggle a lot more without backing.
Cuomo is a great example of an absolutely repulsive candidate who would never have sniffed a recovery if this was six years ago. As it is, he’s likely to be the next mayor of NYC
Idk didn’t Anthony Weiner almost make a come back in 2013, 2 years after resigning in shame
