Some of clearly don't understand how the Senate Democratic Caucus operates

[Jose Garcia]

Senator Schumer has led Senate Democrats for over eight years now.

He knows how things operate. He knows that if he cheeses off too many of his colleagues he is not going to be the Democratic Leader anymore. He wouldn't be doing what he is doing if he didn't have the support of the majority (or darn close to it) of the Democratic in the Senate.

If you are mad at what he is doing, perhaps you should direct your anger accordingly.

1. So in other words

his decision is based on his ego and his desire to, above all else, be the Democratic leader.

Got it.

[Think. Again.]

2. No Senator should be putting their personal interests...

...above the life of our Democracy.

3. Seems he might have the 8 or so Dem votes Republicans need pass CR to go along

with his view but I would highly doubt he has the majority of Dem caucus on board. Just my humble opinion.

4. Ah the old long game

Harry Reid played the long game and "held his powder" and we got a Republican Senate. I am sorry but Senator Shumer has been a failure as the Democratic Senate leader. He doesn't understand that the Republicans play for blood and he thinks that wordy speeches will make everything fine. AOC was spot on when she called Shumers statement a betrayal.

5. So, that's "leadership"?
