27. The content of Schumer's speech was excellent. His delivery could have been better.

Maybe it was the late hour, but he was lacking in passion and conviction. Of course, it's Chuck, so we probably shouldn't look to someone like him for those things. But, it would have been nice to see some emotion and passion (which is what McConnell provided).

The American populace is stupid, as evinced by the millions of idiots who voted for Trump. We have to figure out how to communicate with the ones that can be saved using means other than logic and great oratory.
