The most dangerous place in the world to be is between Chuck Schumer and an approaching microphone.

I guess keeping Wall Street money is worth the cost of losing elections and credibility. Goes to show who he truly considers as his constituents.

Good comparison, although Lieberman has first place in the Unctuous Sanctimonious Asshat division nailed down.
âWhile I no more expect Schumer to be hostile to Wall Street than I expect Joe Manchin to take on the coal industryâŚâ
Nor do I expect dung beetles to stop climbing on big piles of poop.

Mark Warner is a âmoderateâ Democrat?
And the ocean is damp.
Fuck you Schumer, you chickenshit plutocrat whore.

Being in the minority really creates an opportunity to clean house. Chuck is a good place to start. Warner is just plain lucky. Sherrod Brown for majority leader!!!

Thank you!!! Thatâs exactly what I was thinking.
What âmoderateâ policies could Warner come up with that havenât been floated in the past 5 years with this administration? Please donât misunderstand me - Iâm not slagging on this POTUS. Iâm just saying that whatever DLC infested policies that Warner could push as this time have been shown to have no strength at all and the GOP would simply shout it down anyway.
(Or, does he think that the same old stuff will just go down easier coming from a White man?)
Do he and Schumer REALLY believe that the American public is crying out for his center right policies? Because that ship has sailed off into the sunset long ago.
Thank you Harry.

Reminder: follow the money and see the difference. Reid made the correct decision, IMO.
â. . . according to Politico.â
A digest of a story from Politico tailored to confirm our biases. I feel honor bound to be skeptical even as it confirms my own biases, even up to the point of passing by an opportunity to again lament that we live in a world where our Liberal Media deems Elizabeth Warrenâs advocacy for the middle class out of the mainstream but hails Joni Ernst as future presidential material.

Moderates? âModerateâ Dems were the ones who couldnât get up off their lazy asses and vote a couple weeks ago.
Note to Schumer and company: keep ignoring your liberal base, and youâll keep getting hammered in the mid terms.

Yup, typical for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-Craven).
From a game theory perspective, that actually doesnât work. If we lost the election because liberals voted and moderates didnât, that indicates you need to motive the moderates, not the liberals.
As it happens, I donât think the problem was ideological per se, but rather one of ideologically linked innate motivation. Presidential elections motivate voters who are for something, voters who want stuff to happen, like now. Those are the ones whose votes, when added to the reliable partisan voters like us, win us presidential elections.
Midterm elections motivate voters who are against something, people who are convinced, or can readily be convinced, that stuff is being done to themâthe innately fearful and grievance mongering. Republicans, in other words. The result being they win midterms but only win presidential elections when they can whip up a sense of fear and grievance among those who are not normally so-inclined.
It doesnât seem to be possible to make a midterm election be about what youâre for for the âwant to vote for somethingâ voters, because their attitude always seems to turn into disappointment or skepticism due to the failure to already have done it. About the only midterms we seem to win are the ones where weâre the ones who are vociferously against something.

Wall Street Chuck is why people donât see any point in voting for democrats. At least republicans donât try to hide their contempt for the electorate.
And now, having read the Politico story, itâs so very much just another pile of banal MSM CW narrative bullshit that the writer spewed out of his ass and then tried to make look like reporting by spreading a pat of thin sourcing over it, it actually made me a little nauseous. Just another attempt to manufacture sweet, sweet conflicty goodness out of nothing very much because thatâs how Politico Wins the Day.

F U Schumer. What an @$$hole.
Hereâs your next Senate Leader, Democrats. Chucky Cheese.
Jon Tester is already head of the DSCC. But thatâs not enough for this Third Way corporate ball licker.
