He's supported the move for a long time - no surprise. n/t PoliticAverse May 2018 #5
The reality is Schumer will most likely continue as Democratic Senate leader. nt PoliticAverse May 2018 #3

Schumer today pissed me off over the moving of the embassy. He is not foreceful enough as a senate leader. Reid knew who to drive the turtle crazy. I think Durbin would be tougher.

Democrats in the Senate do. They picked Schumer. Why would it be in their interest to change?

The topics discussed here are things we either don’t get to decide or our input is negligible at best.

Strange issue you have.

I'd be doing cartwheels if Democrats won the Senate back. And, considering that I'll be almost 52 on election day, that would be a sight to see.

Durbin has been part of the larger leadership for a while. And we find ourselves in the worst shape since reconstruction. Maybe it's time to let some new leadership take a shot at it.

I like the guy though he pissed me off with his Al Franken call.

Can I forgive him for that?

Then the Russians paid for Republicans, especially Mitch will be ousted and investigated , so whoever is for that is fine that's not moderate. Anyone not corrupted by Russia's putin and rump.
