I wouldn't complain too much about Mark Warner. I'm sure there's some others.

I'm afraid Schumer is to wounded by this loss, immediately following the last budget cave.

Eloquent, informed and can speak extemporaneously. Great interviews. However I know nothing about what goes on behind closed doors, so whether they can pull the party together is another question, and one I cannot answer.

He 15, he has Cushing's disease, is mostly blind, mostly deaf, mostly incontinent (my wife would disagree with the word "mostly" ), and spends most of his very few waking hours (when not eating peeing or pooping) just wandering around in his own world.

Right now, HE'D be a more-effective leader than Schumer.

who had unrealistic expectations. Schumer is not going to be replaced over this. We were ALWAYS going to lose this fight... but it did help to bring the issues to the forefront and to help "average Americans" understand (or be slightly aware) of what's at stake and who's responsible for it.

Y'all need to stop with this "blame the Democrats" movement and the "both sides are the same" nonsense.
