Looks like our senator Schumer will become the Senate Democratic leader.

there are several issues I disagree with Schumer on but I am glad for him and for our state.

Maybe he can get some of our money back from the federal government and put it into our infrastructure and schools.

Good luck Chuck!

3. *They're*. Other than that, I agree with you.

I'm not happy with this. I would rather have Elizabeth Warren chosen as Senate Democratic Leader. Nominating Senator Schumer only ensures that Senator Warren's fight against Wall Street will be hamstrung as much as possible without Senator Schumer looking like a Republican.

11. Oops, done in by a homophonic heterograph. Fixed, thanks. n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

26. I didn't know they let homophones post here.

Anyway, all the homophones I ever met were self-proclaimed heterographs, although many seemed to be struggling with their own identities.

[hrmjustin]

5. Yes I imagine so.

[Purveyor]

2. The chances of retaking the Senate just dimmed, in fact all of DC will be

controlled by the GOP come 2017.

Bank on it.

[hrmjustin]

4. I don't agree.

[Renew Deal]

27. The DSCC had its best years when Schumer ran it

Both in terms of money and elections won.

6. no democrat available? nt

[TreasonousBastard]

7. There are a LOT if issues I disagree with him on...

but the point of a party leader is to rally the troops and stick it to the other party.

So, let's see how he does.

(Can't do shit about it anyway.)

[hrmjustin]

8. That is how I see it.

10. Funny - the way I learned it in school was that a U. S. Senator

was elected to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Now they're just cheerleaders at a pep rally? My how the times have changed!

9. I hope he cooperates with President Warren

Although I won't hold my breath waiting.

[PoliticAverse]

12. lol. If she's not president in 2016 Schumer will reassign her to the parking ticket committee. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I like to think that Kirsten Gillibrand (my former congresswoman)

Has been a good influence.

[hrmjustin]

14. Hey you! I agree!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I have noticed they tend to stick together on most issues

Good to see you, my friend!

[hrmjustin]

16. Good to see you.

I will sign up for mirt next time.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. I have been remiss this time around.

I've had serious computer issues, am posting this from my phone.

[hrmjustin]

18. It happens. it explains why I haven't seen you on twitter much.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I have been mainly using my phone, which isn't easy.

But I now have another computer, so I'm hoping to be back if they'll still have me.

[hrmjustin]

20. Everyone loves you so no worries.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Thank you.

If only it was so...

[hrmjustin]

22. It is.

[Dawson Leery]

23. The dark blue states are regularly victims of having their

hard earned money transferred to states that pride themselves on being free of government subsidy.

At least with Schumer, New York can get back what it puts in.

[hrmjustin]

24. Very true.

[Dawson Leery]

25. Schumer WILL get tons of money for NY.

He knows how to work the system.
