Are you serious? Middle america voted for a guy exactly like that.


Yea, I totally get how you can make that comparison. I think the difference is that those that support Trump view him being a “self-made” businessman and offering them something. Does he have an ego? You bet, but the stereotypical New Yorker? Idk.

Cuomo is a silly caricature of what the rest of the country think of when they poke fun at New Yorkers: vain, aggressive, crooked, loudmouth bully.

Also, his appearance and mannerisms make him seem like a character from the Sopranos or a Scorsese movie. It is hilarious. He is just so obviously full of shit.

It would be like if the Governor of Minnesota acted and spoke like someone from the Movie “Fargo”.


I don't think you're trying to be satirical, which baffles me, since you go on to use adjectives that describe Trump to a T.

To be clear, I'm not defending Cuomo. What's going on now with the leaders of the democratic party is exhibit A in the case for the difference in how the two parties handle bad behavior by one of their own (e.g. the president calling on him to step down). Comments like yours are exhibit B -- a stunning lack of awareness at best; rank hypocrisy at worst.


Trump fashioned his persona for decades as the ultimate New Yorker, to the dismay of most New Yorkers.

And you seem to be forgetting the existence of a one Governor Jesse Ventura!
