Who do you want to replace Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader?

[SocialDemocrat61]

I think the time has come for him to step down. If he knew and approved the 5 switching their vote on the shutdown, shame on him. If he didn't know, that's a lack of leadership. If he doesn't step down now, he should after the midterms and then retire in 28.
So who among current Senators is your choice: (FYI Bernie Sanders is not included in the list because he's an independent, so I don't think he is eligible.)

1. I voted for Chris Murphy. But that's if

Schumer steps down. I also think CM is a possibility in 2028.

2. Whom...

Sorry the grammar police are in my head today.

[SocialDemocrat61]

3. Grammer police? ;)

[GreenWave]

4. Maybe gramper is in trouble again?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Someone honest, who doesn't play games, and doesn't lead us off a cliff.

Or engineer Cluster F's.

6. Chris Murphy

[bucolic_frolic]

7. I think being Senate Minority or even Majority Leader

pretty much ends presidential aspirations. So I think Chris Murphy would be a terrible choice.

8. I voted for Elizabeth Warren, but I like Chris Murphy too.

Actually Chris makes more sense. He is only 52 years old, and very progressive.

[Ars Longa]

9. Voted: Sen. Chris Murphy ..would also like to see Sen Chris Van Hollen.

Someone that is honest, with Integrity!

10. Patty Murray and Sheldon Whitehouse,

Jeff Merkley

Merkley's marathon speech is brilliant and has not gotten enough attention.

tried 3 different links and couldn't get one of them to display the video. I don't get it. It can all be seen on his youtube channel

ETA we do have some great Democratic Senators. Schumer should step down. for whatever reason, whether it's because of lobbyists or personal wealth considerations, or just because he cannot shake himself free of the time when republicans could occasionally be trusted to keep their word, he's not up to speed, not acknowledging the existential danger this country is in right now, and not responsive to his constituency's message.

11. Any one of them would be a massive upgrade.

12. Corey Booker.
