Quote:I'm not sure if Chris Cuomo means what he says, seeing as how he spent quite a bit of his career displaying a keen case of TDS on CNN, but I can't help but give him credit for his latest rant where here pointed out just how ridiculous Democrats are being in terms of trying to sell Kamala Harris as a viable candidate.

Once it was announced that Harris had successfully staged a coup and pushed Joe Biden out, her approval rating shot up and ever since, the left has been singing her praises as the candidate above all candidates that have ever been and ever will be. I can imagine that from a Democrat's perspective who has two brain cells to rub together that this is pretty embarrassing. Harris experienced a bout of popularity during the 2020 primary, but quickly became so unpopular thanks to Tulsi Gabbard that she was the first big name to drop out.

She only became VP after leftist groups came out and said they'd work against Biden if his pick wasn't a woman of color, and so the unpopular primary loser became Biden's VP. Fast-forward, and now the unpopular candidate who became VP is now an unpopular candidate again.

This wasn't lost on Chris Cuomo, who voiced his annoyance at the left for pretending she's not while on his show, "The Chris Cuomo Project."

“Kamala Harris is not a godsend, alright?" Cuomo said, addressing the left. "You people didn’t even like her six months ago. Now, all of a sudden, she’s black female Jesus, the way Obama was black Jesus."

"And let me tell you something: he had a lot more going for him than Kamala Harris does,” Cuomo continued. “And not just as firsts go, but his type of campaigning, his type of persuasion, his charisma, okay? He was imbued with things that she is not, and I don’t mean that as a criticism, it’s just a point of comparison.”

“And her process f****d her also," Cuomo added. "There’s a convenience in it, but it f*****d her also because there are a lot of misgivings about her. There is an underlying feeling that she didn’t get this the right way. She may not have won a primary, she didn’t even make it to the first round of primaries when she did run. And that is both fair and unfair at the same time.”

It's at this point that Cuomo might have said something that many on the left would consider unforgivable.

“But look, this idea of, ‘Don’t say anything bad about her because Trump,’ I don’t buy that. I don’t buy that, and it’s not how you get to a better place," said Cuomo. "It’s a relative assessment. She has negatives, so does he. Does he have more? Yeah. He also has a way more intense following. That’s why this race is so tight. Now, explain that to me, unless you want to write off half this country as bigots. How do you explain it being so tight? Maybe you’re not as right about everything as you think you are. Maybe you should be a little bit more open to the people that you disagree with. Maybe they’re not all racists.”

Regardless of his true motivations or your personal feelings about him, this is a bold thing to say from someone whose audience leans left. Or perhaps Cuomo can see the landscape like many others can.

Harris isn't popular, she's just not Trump. That's the only thing going for her right now. While that might have been a powerful motivator for Democrats in 2020, that line of reasoning has lost its luster after years of economic decline and rising crime.

Moreover, Harris is clearly a woman without a plan or the gumption to execute it. She looks unsteady, sounds incomprehensible, and is clearly not ready for the job, and likely never will be. Democrats can pretend she's great all they want, but pretending at this point is going to be a hard sell to people living in a difficult reality.

I'd vote for David St. before I would vote for her and that's pretty dumb in itself there. It's hard to comprehend David being smarter than her but, alas, I think he is, which isn't saying much either.

That's mean ollie

1000% accurate

but mean.

When you've lost a Cuomo ...

You know he'd be right in the middle of conference realignment and there'd be these weird conferences with Alabama, Ohio State, USC, and Maine's College for the Blind

He probably justified them being in that group because of the eyeballs they would bring to the media deal....

This quote should be the website banner.

Sorry Ollie, I'd have to vote for Tulsi.

I’ve listened to Cuomo’s podcast a few times. Ironically I listened to this one last week. Cuomo is blunt. He will tell you he is not a “Trumper”. Cuomo does however question Leftist superiority complex. This is a good listen. Language warning but nothing most of us haven’t heard before.

I don't think David is stupid per se. I think he may have developmental issues that color his comments, which he deals with to the best of his ability. I actually admire that he still tries to participate. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't say things ignorantly, but I've begun to cut him a bit of slack.

*shrug*

This resembles actual down the middle Journalism.


These are the two candidates, I don't like either one. Both have flaws and strengths and here they are - YOU decide which one is the better of two very flawed candidates.


Can you imagine being presented with all the facts (good and bad) with as little [seemingly] bias as possible then making your own decision based on ALL the information. Who woulda think???

Leftists have overused the term RACIST to the point it has lost its true meaning. It is used in an attempt to shame someone in order to control the thought process of the other person. It is no longer used to call out those who believe in RACE SUPERIOTY. BTW all races have Racists.

Sorry, I just noticed I mistakenly posted the wrong tweet earlier in this thread so I deleted it. Here's the intended one:

Nah. I'd rather vote for a pair of socks I've worn several times over the years over any leftist. I've never voted Democrat in my life and I intend to keep it that way.

I have to admit, I ALMOST voted for Killery. I cast my vote for her over Oblunder in the primary. But, I voted for the Repub in the general. I didn't know that much about the evil witch from the West at that time. Now, I do and boy, she's "gotta lot of 'splaining to do" when she kicks the bucket and she's old, she's almost there.

Well, nobody's perfect. lol (Sorry. Had to do it.)

Don't get me wrong. While I've never voted Democrat, I haven't always voted Republican either, at least not for President. I've mentioned it before several times, but I voted third party in 2016, and yeah, I definitely regretted it shortly after Trump took office. That remains the only time I've never voted for the Republican candidate for POTUS. After that, I swore that until there's a viable third party option that's center-right, I will always vote Republican. Luckily, with how the GOP is made up now, I won't have to worry about that for a very, very long time.

Crazy isn’t it.
Actual balanced unbiased journalism is a rarity. What 30 years ago was the standard is now the exception. What a clown show our political process has become.
Fitting for a country that’s become a dumpster fire since January 21, 2021.
