Schumer headed for epic clash with McConnell
Politico ^ | March 28, 2017 | Burgess Everett

At their first sit-down as party leaders in December, Chuck Schumer pledged to tell Mitch McConnell exactly what’s on his mind going forward — no subterfuge or backbiting.

"You and Harry didn't get along,” Schumer recalled saying, referring to his predecessor, Harry Reid. “Each of you thought the other was a liar. But I've learned in life if people think people are liars, sometimes they misconceive things when they don’t know the whole story.” Schumer went on: “Mitch, I’m from Brooklyn. I will tell you what I think. Sometimes you’ll like it, sometimes you won’t. But I’m not going to try to surprise you."

Schumer wasn’t kidding about laying it all out in the open. The Democratic leader is now predicting victory over McConnell in two partisan confrontations about to come to a head, over the Supreme Court vacancy and a potential government shutdown. Never mind that the Democratic Party is in its weakest state in more than a decade.

Get the tape

Harry Reid said if the Democrats win a majority in the Senate then Supreme Court would need just a simple Majority ( He assumed Hillary would win)

It’s all a big game to these aholes. Meanwhile 100 million Americans are out of the labor force, a third of the nation cannot feed itself and they are bringing in millions of uneducated, unhealthy illegals to work for nothing, while we borrow money from China to pay for the birthing of their babies.

Tell me when the news gets good.

Voting themselves the treasury.

>>>>>>>>>>”Chuck Schumer is headed for a HUGE psychotic breakdown on the Senate Floor. He has been weaving in and out of bouts with sanity for some time now, and the proportions of clarity and irrationality are shifting into the red zone.”<<<<<<<<<<

This is both an excellent observation and warning.

I love it!!! The Democrats led by their leaders, Schumer & Pelosi sink lower each day!!! Mr. Schumer & Ms. Pelosi, kindly continue your Democrat destruction lunacy, until your political party is no more!!!

You have lost the white vote, the African-American vote, The female vote, the Jewish vote is sliding away. The Hispanics have little use for you. All you have left is Hollywood, Gays, trans Genders and radical teacher and public service unions....all of them. America haters!!!

It’s getting lonely for you buffoons and losers!!! Yes, Democrats....elections do count. Your vote cheating days are coming to an end!!!

I think you have it exactly right. About all this Congress is likely to do for Donald Trump is impeach him.

Probably took Schmuck at least 30 seconds.

I wonder if that is how long it took Schumer last night at that fancy restaurant to insult a Trump Supporter, and that wasn’t enough, he followed them outside onto the sidewalk and kept at it...

This guy is getting like Juan McPain!!!

What “epic battle”? McConnell says “nuclear option” ... game over. Schumer/Democrats/the Left lose. Done deal.
