The way Cuomo engages the press corp...

at his daily press conferences is night and day compared with the orange fuckwit in those laughable sessions at the White House every afternoon.

Cuomo strives to answer every question with facts and numbers, and as detailed as he can (or has one of his experts on the dais pipe in.) He engages with the reporters, he is human to them, laughs occasionally, teases them sometimes, never nasty.

Such a contrast to the blustering, bullying, bullshitting that Trump does every day.

I'll have to find that. Howard was also very good when he had Hillary on a few months ago. It was a really good interview. That one is on YouTube.

yeah, he even takes follow up questions instead of cutting off the reporters and telling them "quiet"

It is good to see that kind of action from Cuomo still exists. For a while there I thought it was the norm to be rude and obnoxious and tell women to shut up while they talk over them XD
I suppose men are included in that as well since trump likes to interrupt both genders LOL.

by just how cool and collected gov cuomo was as well. He's been so amazing. He's not my governor but I follow him on twitter to get his latest updates, haha. Very thankful for people like him. It makes me hopeful that one day we could have that again, instead of some hateful orange haired guy, and we have supporters in town with oversized banners saying "trump! no more bulls**t!" I've never seen anything like it before. I mean, maybe I just never noticed. My son even asked me one day why someone had a banner up like that. he questions why anyone likes the guy. i guess his whole class makes fun of the guy, which is pretty interesting. (he's only 8yrs old)
