There is a reason we usually choose governors who have been involved in government for awhile. Ditto for Presidents.

. . .but back in March this year, I saw an interesting story that articulated why Nixon was not the one to challenge Cuomo and win.

And providing a list of the problems isn't the same as a concrete action plan of solutions.

No experience and up against a NY political dynasty. I voted for his father, a great Democrat.

without putting in some time at a lower level job first.
Sure I want to be Governor and President too but I'd rather have an experienced policymaker who has dedicated a life to public service being elected instead of TV stars all the time.

Let’s be honest here, there was never a chance she was going to win.

So she thought that would give her coverage to repeat that stupidity.

Didn't dawn on her we don't all smoke pot or want to be legal drug dealers.

I'd love to explain it, but it would probably takes someone like Killer Mike, who smokes daily to do so.

She lost because too many people voted. It's Cuomo's fault because he had a very effective GOTV campaign.
