Since becoming New York's Governor, Andrew Cuomo, son of former NY governor Mario Cuomo, has done much to prove Dr Johnson's old definition of second marriage (A triumph of hope over experience.) Prince Andrew has taken many actions which seemingly have defied rational analysis, from ramming homosexual marriage through the legislature to ramming the immensely unpopular (and comically misnamed) gun-rights-destroying SAFE Act through the same legislature, without even allowing them to read it first.
He has single-handedly prevented New York from reviving its flagging economy by preventing hydro-fracking for natural gas (New York is figuratively floating on a sea of it).
He's promoting youth unemployment with his determination to raise New York's minimum wage to $9.00/hour, even higher than the job-killing federal rate of $8.00.
He hurried to the front of the line to establish a ObamaDon'tCare exchange when B.O.Care when passed, just as he would hurry to pass the first 2nd Amendment slashing laws after Newtown.
His new trick is to crow about his business tax-free zones in New York, forgetting to mention that those zones are little more than the campuses of the state university system. He also spends state tax dollars on television campaigns telling of all the wonderful things Governor Corleone has done for the state, every message riddled with lies. I recently read that Andy is now going to use tax dollars to put his name on every Thruway rest stop and all of the other state facilities across the Vampire State. By now New Yorkers are suspecting that their governor is insane.
Not insane. Just insanely ambitious.
You see, Andy ben Mario wants to be President, which Daddy never got to be. Now, Andrew has a nice big campaign war chest for a governor, but it's not big enough for a presidential candidate. He also is assuming (safely, in the opinion of most) that Hitlery Clinton will be contending for the nomination that she feels was stolen from her in 2008. Now, Andy knows that a lot of big-bucks liberal individuals will be only too eager to fund her run for the prize. He's a creep, but he's not stupid. He has hit on a strategy.
Look at that list of "incomprehensible" actions again. Every one of his actions, unpopular with the people he is sworn to serve, have one thing in common. Every one of them is very pleasing to big-bucks leftist interest groups who are willing to put their money where there interest lies, meaning they will support candidates who have pleased them in the past. He wants all of them to be pleased with him, so that they can help him close the campaign funding gap with the dreaded Hildabeast. Then he can take her on in an even match.
