It appears that Schumer is AGAINST THS SO-CALLED DEAL. For those looking to BLAME someone, since quite a few here

[lostincalifornia]

seem to like to blame schumer.

How about those that actually negotiated this deal with the republicans? Or doesn't that fit the anti-schumer narrative.

1. Thank you....................

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Primary every "Yes" voting coward.

All of them.

[leftstreet]

3. Votes no on a deal he facilitated

oh, okay

[lostincalifornia]

5. Facilitated what? Link?

[leftstreet]

8. Oh sorry. I thought he was Senate Leader

my mistake

[lostincalifornia]

14. so? I assume those Democratic Senators who are voting for this are doing what their constiuents want them to.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. No, they are coward for not standing up for the principles of the Dem. Party

prove me wrong.

[lostincalifornia]

22. I cannot prove you right or wrong. The fact is there is going to be a vote on extending the subsidies. Will that pass?

The point is the republicans have the majority in both houses, an unfortunate fact.

[mcar]

19. Prove it

[leftstreet]

20. Make me

[RockRaven]

4. So he is *merely* ineffective?

Not much absolution there.

[FHRRK]

6. How about this

When he does more than just voting no, and comes out publicly and states any Dem voting with the Repukes will have their committee assignments reviewed immediately. Then we will layoff Chuck.

Also special funding going to their States, time to reevaluate! If the fuckers are going to vote with Trump, then they will get the Trump treatment.

7. Doesn't matter who's to blame, what matters is who will show up to vote a year from now

pissing off most of its voting base isn't going to inspire much confidence.

[Wiz Imp]

33. Most of its voting base doesn't think like the posters on DU

[stopdiggin]

9. continuing to 'look' for a deal - to actively engage with the opponent ....

is kind of like government 101? But then - so many of us know SO much better ...
Did I think the deal was Adequate? Hell no! A non-starter! But - attempting to find a deal and maintain lines of communication ...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[Historic NY]

10. He the so called leader, no others should be saying they made a deal

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. He has failed as majority leader.

He deserves all the blame and scorn he is getting, and then some.

Along with all the “Yes” votes, Schumer’s career will end with his current term.

[orangecrush]

25. Worse than failure

Much, much worse

[SamuelTheThird]

12. It was reported on MSNBC that he was kept abreast of the negotiations

And he could be threatening those voting for this with consequences

This is bullshit

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. The bottom line that Sen. Schumer knew he had to votes, so he voted no, knowing that he was "protected"

he is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and needs to be replaced with someone who will uphold the principles of the Democratic Party, someone like, oh, I don't know, AOC.

[RockRaven]

16. Yep, that fig leaf is transparent.

[hamsterjill]

29. God, anyone with some strength!!!

I am sick to death of wimps trying to "negotiate" with the Republican bully machine. How many times do they have to lose out doing this to LEARN that they need a different approach.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

[still-prayin4rain]

15. Oh please. You sound very naive.

[mcar]

17. I'm reading he's voting against it

But let's not stop the hate.

[gab13by13]

21. He also voted no back in March

But he gave the go ahead for the Committee to kill the filibuster. He was behind the first CR in March and was behind this CR.

I’m not the sharpest crayon but please.

[Emile]

23. Did they negotiate with his approval?

[choie]

27. Of COURSE they did.

[Wiz Imp]

32. Do you have even one piece of evidence supporting your claim?

Of COURSE you don't.

[choie]

34. Yeah, you know what's my evidence?

HE'S THE GODDAMN LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATS.

You're welcome.

[orangecrush]

24. Please stop.

[choie]

30. Incredible

That's just what Schumer is relying on - Democrats thinking that he has no agency and the Democratic senators who were negotiating with the republicans were in rebellion against him.

Give me a fucking break.

[orangecrush]

31. Agree 100%

[choie]

26. oh my goodness.

There is no way on god's green earth that this proposal would have gone forward if Schumer wasn't a "yes". The "anti-Schumer" narrative is spot on. He's the minority leader - they do what he says. He is to blame.

[LuvLoogie]

28. Chuck needs to buy trump time and cover.

A government of, by, and for the donor class.

He and McConnell probably play pinochle on Sundays
