I definitely don't want Cuomo. As Governor, he's been Pataki Light. I don't think he's progressive or principled. He's a savvy politician, but I don't see the courage, intellect or passion that I want in the President.
I like Biden. But, he has too many liabilities as a candidate. The go-to narrative is that he's a joke, he's a gaffe machine, etc. I don't agree with that narrative, but it's been around since 1988 so it's here to stay. That and his age make him an electoral risk.
Hillary, I support her until someone gives me a reason not to. I didn't like her campaign in 2008 or her lack of backbone during the Bush years. I don't like 90s Clinton-style centrist politics and I won't feel as invested or inspired as I did with Obama. But, I trust her to do the right things on policy and she would likely win. I'll trade a high chance of being just OK for 4 years of a Clinton Presidency for a low chance of enduring 4 years of Republican control.
