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

    the democrats had an amazing election where they won every contest they were in. I can’t fathom a worse time to fold

    That’s your answer right there: the moment the election was over, they went back to screwing over the voters on behalf of their owner donors.

    If the election had been a week from now, they’d have caved by Thanksgiving at the latest.
