This was a real missed opportunity

They had a chance to finally give some real pushback and galvanize opposition to all this destruction. They could even have began to get some cred in rural America. People in Red Districts are pissed. We cold have given them a reason to look at us again.

Instead we get this FUBAR both in substance and in Schumer's managing of the process. He left people out to dry. He's bad at this and should be replaced.
