1. Count me unsurprised...

MSNBC should have given us far more Joy Reid (and quite a bit less Symone Sanders--who I find to be incredibly lacking in self-awareness). My opinion. YMMV.

It may be necessary to say that I am quite annoyed at Schumer as well and believe he should step down as Minority Leader for Dems in the Senate. But, how is that a justification to drop out of the party, the majority of which wanted something other than that to which Schumer was willing to capitulate? Sanders, again shows a lack of self-awareness IMO.

I won't say I am not conflicted and part of me wants to think he has some inside knowledge/strategy that we can't appreciate from the outside, but there are a lot of Dem Senators that I have long respected, who remain vocally opposed to that cloture vote... I guess time will tell. But, here is Schumer getting a bit of a drilling:
