ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo Tuesday definitively ruled out running for President in 2020.

“I am ruling it out,” Cuomo said during an appearance on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show.” “I ran for governor (in November). I have a full plate. I have many projects. I’m going to be here doing the job as governor.”

During an August Democratic gubernatorial primary debate with actress Cynthia Nixon, he said he planned to serve a full four-year term if reelected to a third term unless “God strikes me dead.”

But that didn’t stop many political insiders on both sides of the aisle from believing he might still consider entering the race once he was safely re-elected.

2. I don't think he would be a viable candidate against all the other Democratic possibles. Remember..

...his first name isn't Mario!

I loved Mario and like Andrew but don't think he's up to the standards of the likes of Booker, Harris, Biden, or Warren.

3. Few Democrats get so much criticism on DU as Cuomo, and people give good reasons

I'm amazed he'd even considered it. Who wants to be humiliated on a national stage?
