re: Is Chuck Schumer done as dem senate leader?

Dontcha know? Bitch Jasmine is gonna run for his seat and bring the ghetto to the Senate.

He would’ve been an idiot to fight against the CR when it continues the Biden spending. House GOP handed him a gift horse.

This is why the CR was passed as is. If there had been any cuts, the democrats would have been united and been able to blame the Republicans for the shutdown. It was a brilliant political move to fracture the democrat party. A GOP rep basically said this was the reason for passing the CR, and they still fell for the trap.

Some people know how to play the game, some don't. If you want to actually win, you need someone who is effective. The progressives don't like the old guard of Pelosi and Schumer, but they were very effective leaders for their team. The ideologues following them will be less effective because they are driven purely by their beliefs. They don't know how to play the game, so they just create a scene to make their supporters happy. They will weaken the democrat party when they are in charge.

Hopefully, Republicans will be wise enough to get an effective leader instead of an ideologue to take advantage of the situation.

This CR is the Biden/Schumer budget. If anything, this is Nancy positioning herself within the 'resistance' to take the Speaker's gavel when Dems win in the midterms.

This is all theater. Schumer and a few others vote to get the Biden/Schumer CR through the wickets and Nancy pretends to be mad that there wasn't enough resistance to Trump. Dems get what they want (continuing their budget during a Trump presidency) and Nancy comes back to the front to push Hakeem to the side next November.

Chuck deserves every bad thing that happens to him. I feel badly for him not.

Dems are very, very angry at Schumer right now

He is done for sure. One of two scenarios is going to play out both of which leave him on the outs, one very much so, literally.

- the rabid insurgent progressive portion of the democratic party is furious, they are going to make a play to take the party over in total. Now I wouldnt mind this one bit since thats the 20% of the 80/20 side of every issue theyre losing on, which will result in AOC taking his senate seat and they will Ole Yeller him

-the dem party might have somewhat of a hope at salvaging itself and not going extinct and become a respectable opposition. To do this theyre going to have to come FAR more to the center on almost everything, which is going to completely jetison that 20% I mentioned above, and will take total buy in and commitment as this will be a decade long or more job. This also leaves him on the outs because hes too old but he likely wont be shot like a dog with rabies like he would in case one
