Blame the messengers: Dem boss Schumer fires staffers after November rout
Fox News ^ | .12/20/16 | Brooke Singman

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, smarting from the Democratic Party's big November losses, is blaming the messengers.

With Christmas days away, nearly every member of the Senate Democratic Media Center has been fired, a senior Democratic aide confirmed to Fox News. Schumer swung the axe on Friday, according to Politico, which first obtained “goodbye” emails from staffers, including some with decades' experience.

The move comes amid plans to revamp the unit, which handles video content, in an effort to help the Senate Democratic caucus get their message out in the New Year. The party not only lost the presidential race, it failed to capture the Senate or House and lost state legislative races throughout the country.

Nice.

Fire a bunch of people just before Christmas.

So you can hire new ones to put out a message about how much you care for the workers!

And the recounts. And the Electoral collage vote.

Yep what about the message, and the candidate???

I’m loving the liberal meltdown over the election results.

But I’m also loving news such as this. Schumer is angry about the results, but he and other liberals, seem clueless as to why they lost. I hope they stay clueless and flail around like a fish out of water, never really understanding what happened to them.

Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer have known each other since they were small children. Grandpa and Papa used to work together in a New York construction business.

Nice that Chuckie fires people right before Christmas, but he has a point...

Media in this country has forever been changed by Trump and Chuckie knows it...

The old tired worn out decades old playbook of the dem past needed to get tossed...

Also I might add a lot of the folks in that department were probably loyalists to Clinton...

Chuckie knows the dems need to clean out the Clinton apparatus...

They will never admit the core philosophy of demagoguery, hatred, ridicule and rhetoric does not translate into votes and what the citizens want. I’m surprised they aren’t painting all the rooms a new color, blaming the old paint for what happened.

Schemer’s problem (one of the many) is that he’s a New Yorker.
He’s surrounded by people who think just like he does. Your average NYer is arrogant, condescending, self absorbed, and totally contemptuous of anyone and anything that exists outside of “the city” as in “fly over country.” Their smug unjustified superior attitude blinds them to the reality of the world. In fact when reality intrudes into their little fantasy bubble (like Trump winning) they deny it. They look for all kinds of excuses to explain it away, and do everything except examine their own belief structure (Sound familiar to what’s going on with all the liberal heads exploding?)
