Chuck Schumer wants the other party to have another McCain moment instead of leading his own party to do what is necessary. He wants his imaginary friends the Baileys instead of actually fighting for his constituents.
These Dems either keep running for office at retirement ages and die in office or pull stunts like this. Even those with a good track record do this. It is undemocratic and unhealthy.
Lol you have no idea what you are even talking about. And, there will be no electoral college results this week. So, I guess nothing that matters will come out this week?
Without polling data of the same demographics in the same states in 2024, this data is meaningless in your non-argument. Comparing the current polling data for the current environment to the actual voting data from 2024 can't be used in your favor.
Republicans are NOT going to do that. They have a lopsided advantage in the Senate map. If they nuke the filibuster, they are essentially going to empower a future Democratic Senate to pass EVERYTHING they want. Republicans know it. It is essentially throwing their power away in the Senate.
The Government Accountability Office already exists. Inspectors general already exist. He seems to be just a generic corporate Democrat who can’t criticize or alienate Israel or rich donors. His answers about the Gaza situation in an recent interview shows how bad his political instincts are.
Mamdani gets over 50% and does surprisingly well even with older voters. Cuomo announces his move to Florida. Trump threatens cutting more funds to NYC and sending National Guards.
It is effectively surrendering their lopsided power in the Senate. Trump will probably not push it much because of pushback from Rs. But, who knows? They are letting him destroy their constituents. 🤷🏻♂️
One of the biggest failures was there was no messaging or public communication. Hate him or not… Trump is really good at setting a narrative and constantly drilling messages into people’s brains. Biden did nothing. He let Trump and Rs set a narrative and push the public to the right on immigration.
Another insane interview is about to drop. At this point, we can make bingo cards of insane things he will say in an interview. What a time to be alive.
There is no “this version of the Republican Party”. It’s been always this party. They always hated the poor and programs like this. It is time to attack them as a whole. It is not just Trump. It is the whole party.
It will be hilarious if they follow his order and, then, lose the Senate next year (highly unlikely but still possible if competent Democratic candidates emerge). This year has been horrible. Next year will be even worse. So, I think we deserve this distant but possible future.
Because Republicans have a Senate advantage in smaller states, nuking the filibuster will benefit Democrats more in the long run. Nuking it will guarantee empowering a future Democratic Senate even if it is 51-49. Republicans know it. That is why they are not doing it.
For someone educated at Stanford and Yale, he is smart enough to know how things work but evil enough to just pretend to care about these issues without actually even trying.
Is it the same Murkowski who was pivotal to the passage of the ”Big Beautiful Bill” that gutted the ACA subsidies and cut Medicaid In exchange for some “deals” for her state? Hmm.. In essence, she gave the Dems the leverage they needed.
At this point, I think the likes of Stephen Miller might be feeding him false info to manipulate him to do their bidding. He might actually believe things like “Portland is on fire”.
