Blunt But Credible
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is known as a bully. He talks and acts the tough guy, and he picks fights with fellow politicians. That is why this is so remarkable. He has emerged as a leading voice in the fight against COVID-19 with his no-nonsense daily press conferences. He gives the numbers of affected in the state. He discusses the demand for more respirators and ventilators. He lights into the Federal Government for failing to assist to the degree that the state needs. There is no sweet talk or bloviating, the politicians' disease. He scores points for honesty and telling it like it is. When this crisis is over, he will be in a stronger position than ever before. Citizens trust him in a time of need. At some point, he will need to moderate his remarks as the virus subsides, and medical professionals gain control. But, that time isn't yet. So, he remains front and center to the benefit of all.
