Harry Reid played the long game and "held his powder" and we got a Republican Senate. I am sorry but Senator Shumer has been a failure as the Democratic Senate leader. He doesn't understand that the Republicans play for blood and he thinks that wordy speeches will make everything fine. AOC was spot on when she called Shumers statement a betrayal.
