Didn't he say yesterday they were gonna shut it down...He's a spineless coward.
It's still mind blowing that democrats fight their own progressive members so much harder than they do the opposing political party.If doing precisely that is their primary job, then it's much easier to explain.
If doing precisely that is their primary job, then it's much easier to explain.Precisely. If Dems actually were controlled opposition then how would they be acting? Pretty sure occams razor answers that question perfectly.

It's completely fucking incompetent for a leader to allow all of the vulnerable members take a difficult position on an issue before reversing course.Nobody is this incompetent.
A lot of Senate and House Dems were announcing nay votes and Schumer pulled the rug out
It's completely fucking incompetent for a leader to allow all of the vulnerable members take a difficult position on an issue before reversing course.I don't think it's incompetence, I think he's protecting his own power and income.

I don't think it's incompetence, I think he's protecting his own power and income.Which he will still lose eventually when Trump has no more use for him. Anyone who doesn't think the Democrat Party won't eventually be outlawed is not paying attention
I thought Dems had the numbers to kill the bill? What changed?corporate donors said they want their tax breaks screw everybody else
I thought Dems had the numbers to kill the bill? What changed?1) (incompetence) Schumer can't count single-digit numbers.
Which he will still lose eventually when Trump has no more use for him. Anyone who doesn't think the Democrat Party won't eventually be outlawed is not paying attentionThat.

Schumer STILL does not realize how much of a grip Trump has on the GOP? ( facedesks) Fire this idiot instantly.Nobody is this stupid/incompetent.
Dude needs to go down in history with people like Petain.Petain had his excuses. Schumer doesn't.
Petain had his excuses. Schumer doesn't.Call it a Chamberlain?
Nobody is this stupid/incompetent.
Call it a Chamberlain?Even Chamberlain had his excuses.
I mean Trump had enough voters think he was not that bad the first time so I don't know about that...Should have been "no leading politician is that stupid" etc., I suppose.
The fact that Schumer has flip flopped tells me that he got the news that at least 8 were going to vote for it and there was nothing the leadership could do to change their mindThat's a very generous interpretation of his actions...of which there seems to be no evidence.
60Did that also make him write this limp dicked essay
But with Rand Paul a firm no, it means that you'd need 8 Democrats to vote in favor of it. The fact that Schumer has flip flopped tells me that he got the news that at least 8 were going to vote for it and there was nothing the leadership could do to change their mind. So now they're all going to jump on it in an attempt to act like they aren't wanting to shut down the government.
the only way to get democrats to actually take a stand against you is to be more leftwing than them. They will roll over and expose their underbelly to republicans completely unbidden whenever possible but if you're trying to push a district more left they will absolutely spend as much money as possible to consolidate useless centristsMaybe leftists and progressives should just start running as republicans.
But with Rand Paul a firm noIs there any particular reason to believe him?
Did that also make him write this limp dicked essayLOL at that tripe being written today, which means Schumer's noises yesterday about blocking this were just lying bullshit. What the actual flying fuck is up with that?

Also:Rand Paul is almost always a hard no on spending bills. It's his libertarian hallmark.
Is there any particular reason to believe him?

You are smarter than Chuck Schumer. There is not a single person on CE more naive than the man Senate Democrats made their leader.
