Sccumer has to go for the same reason as Tom Hagen

[Jersey Devil]

He simply is not a war time consigliere. He's a good guy who has done his job well until now, but let's face it, he may be the most boring public speaker ever, certainly not someone who could ever rally the troops. We need a dynamic personality to inspire us.

1. That's an excellent way to describe the situation! He's not up to the task at hand, and at this point

we can't settle. We require the complete, deluxe model.
Honest, smart, energetic, motivated, challenging and inspirational, is a good starting point.

2. He rallied the troops well enough when he voted for the Iraq war

[Jersey Devil]

3. Watch his next speech

They are all the same. He will be in an empty Senate reading from a folder like he has just seen the words on the page for the first time, in a never ending drone. Calculating and doing the "smart" thing has always been his shtick. But he was not Dem leader for the Iraq war.

6. It's the looking down over his spectacles

and obviously reading without looking up to even attempt to look as if he's trying to communicate with the audience that gets me.

4. Democrats (Senators especially) are going to get heat at Town Halls until

Schumer is removed from leadership. The "NO" Senators should be convening
right now to ask for his resignation from leadership.
Also, NOT A NICKLE MORE , in fundraising, until he is gone!
If Schumer tanks all fundraising, that is one foot out the door for him.
And, That is the best/quickest way to rehab the Dems national image..

5. I never trusted him.

He gave me plenty of reasons over many years not to trust him. He's a deal maker and a bad one.
