Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints

Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.

    “At this point” implies there were not pussies at some point. The Democrats have always been cowards.

    People keep forgetting it’s not left v right, it’s rich v poor. Democrat leaders are just playing their part.

      People always talked about age limits for elected office, I think the same holds true for wealth. You / your family worth $$$M/B no more government service for you. It will never happen, nice to dream I guess.
