SEEING HOW CONVINCING CUOMO WAS, AT PRETENDING TO CARE, MOST PEOPLE NOW AGREE HE DESERVES HIS EMMY.3/1/2021 In the midst of several controversies, dealing with his character and integrity, Governor Cuomo is now winning over several of his most ardent critics with his acting ability.
"I can't stand Governor Cuomo", said one Trump supporting New Yorker. " But I can't deny his ability to act. He had me fooled. I genuinely thought he cared about those people he killed in those nursing homes. He tugged at my heartstrings several times, in those daily televised press briefings, and I even found myself cheering him on, on a couple of occasions." Now, in the wake of mounting accusations regarding his dealings with COVID-19 and his efforts to cover-up his leadership failures, as well as the two former assistances accusing the governor of sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances, Governor Cuomo has solidified his Emmy win, even with some of his harshest critics. What is one thing that actors and politicians have at least one thing in common. You guessed it. They know how to lie, without blinking an eye. But unlike politicians who are despised, stars wield a great deal of emotional capital with their audience. They’re not just good at playing the role, they’re great at it. If you’re a great actor or actress its because you know how to make your audience love you. "It has always been very important for Governor Cuomo to be seen as someone who cares for every single voter", said a former member of Cuomo's administration. "He didn't just want votes, although those are very important to him, he also wanted each of his constituents to feel like friends or family. The governor has taken several acting classes over the years. His Emmy win likely validated all the time and energy he has put in, to perfecting his craft." "Well, the guy can't govern if his life depended on it, but he's an exceptional actor", said another New York voter. "We've all known, for a long long time, that all politicians are full of hot air. If their lips are moving, their telling you a lie. They tell you what you want to hear and really only care about protecting their own self interests. But it was different with Mr. Cuomo. Even though we always knew we were getting a big pile of horse manure, we didn't care. He made us feel emotionally attached to him and even though we were being lied to, it was entertaining to watch. I'd vote for him again, in a heartbeat. I'm really pulling for him to get through these scandals, so we can get back to watching him on TV again." |
