3:23Now PlayingGovernor Andrew Cumo delivered a speech at the DNC, but many thought he could be a VP pick. What happened? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) and John Iadarola (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"It was the speech that would define liberalism for a generation of Democrats, powered by paeans to the American family, lean lyricism and a sonorous voice: Gov. Mario M. Cuomo of New York, onstage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, giving the keynote address during the 1984 Democratic National Convention.
But first, there was a hitch. Mr. Cuomo’s son Andrew, then 26, had wanted the lights dimmed for a six-minute biographical video before the speech, a bit of stagecraft that would signal to the fidgeting crowd that it was time to listen up. The Secret Service, fearing gunmen, objected. Stationed by the control room operator as the video played, Andrew argued the lights down.
Mario Cuomo was reaching for the rhetorical mountaintops. As ever, his son was under the hood.
These days, the younger Mr. Cuomo — the New York governor who, over nearly six years in his father’s office, has resolutely favored pragmatism over purity, PowerPoint presentations over poetry — is harking back to 1984.
As he prepares to address the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, the governor finds himself an awkward fit for a party tugged leftward by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont: Mr. Cuomo will be trying to overcome his reputation for centrist compromise in a political moment that, in its focus on those left behind, seems lifted straight from his father’s school of liberalism."
