re: Schumer: If They Go Through With This Nothing Is Off The Table

Does Chuckie not realize that with statements like this, he's only pushing any R senators that may have been on the fence to galvanize with their party? If I were one of the senators that were iffy about pushing this through and the leader of the opposite party said this, I would think "ok, frick you buddy, NOW I'm on board. Gloves are off!"

Not only that, but it drives Republican constituents to act and brings further attention to the cause, and draws the battle lines. Repubs that weren't paying much attention before or were sitting on the sidelines will be pissed about this kind of statement and fervently call and email their senators, or do whatever else they can.

It's really a stupid, childish move by him. It'll only serve to make the Rs more determined to do the opposite of the kid throwing the tantrum, just to show him that they can.
