Governor Cuomo goes after Bernie: Americans don’t want to elect a socialist

The New York Post reports:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo tossed Bernie Sanders under the bus Tuesday, saying it would be “very hard” for the Vermont senator to become president because Americans are leery of electing a socialist.

“Let’s not be so New York and so coastal right? I think it’s very hard to get elected president as a socialist in this country. . . when you look at the states that we have to win,” Cuomo said on WAMC radio.

“We’re New York. We understand socialists. We’re diverse and we’re accepting and frankly we’re more resilient and frankly we get less threatened.

“It’s a much harder road to run as a socialist and I think it is essential that we win. If we have another four years of Donald Trump that is the worst-case scenario. Avoid the worst-case scenario. Nominate the best candidate.”

Comrade Sanders and the "s-word".
