The Ted Cruz situation is pretty funny. I cannot believe how hard he dunked on himself... absolutely crazy to be that self-unaware.

Big ol' whoopsie on his part. I'm pretty sure its being overblown by a multiple of about a thousand, but would have been very easy to avoid. Bad optics.

Governor Cuomo looks like his career is in jeopardy. His aide admitted they did what they were accused and for the reasons they were accused. Alleged to be trying to threaten members of his own party.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

The Cruz thing is just optics. My guess is the guy had a trip after the impeachment planned and he wanted to get away for a while. It's not like he's a lockdown hypocrite. And seriously, he wasn't going to do anything to make it better, so.... I think he had the right idea, but he's a Republican so throw it on page 1.

As for the Cuomo thing, the story is so bad now that even some of the mainstream media people are talking about it. Covering up data to avoid Trump's tweets and Trump's DOJ action should put him in jail. I have zero, zilch, nada confidence in the FBI to do anything fairly, but maybe they will have no choice. Even AOC is calling for an investigation now!

I would chew glass for 70 degrees, sunny, a six pack, and a round of golf with a few friends.

This wasn’t planned. I couldn’t care less what he does, but he was getting out of town to avoid having to buy some thermal underwear. Trying to convince people it was his kids idea was hilarious.

Paging Toronto Gold...it's almost like some of these governors are not only power hungry, but enjoy making their citizens suffer under their policies. Crazy right?

You know, this is an opinion piece that is upset with the NYT, right? It's claiming the NYT is misleading people with data. Read that article before getting all hot and bothered.

Anyways, booooo NYT booooo Cuomo! (A place that employs Maggie Haberman, and a guy who writes a book about leadership in the middle of a pandemic when it's not even close to done - don't get any respect from me).

For those in Texas it sure feels like it! Lol

That opinion piece doesn't take away from what Cuomo did.

It looks like the media that has glorified Cuomo is recognizing that they can't keep covering this up. I hope he ends up behind bars.

LOL presented with factual evidence that your theory of bad optics was wrong, and you do a 180.
