Chuck Schumer Declares Victory on Omnibus: ‘We’re Able to Accomplish More in the Minority’
Breitbart ^ | 23 Mar 2018 | Sean Moran

Posted on 03/24/2018 11:19:50 AM PDT by Cheerio

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declared victory on the omnibus spending bill Thursday, saying, “We’re able to accomplish more in the minority.”

Schumer said, “It’s a funny thing. In a certain sense, we’re able to accomplish more in the minority than we were when we had the presidency or even were in the majority.”

The Senate Minority Leader continued, “At the end of the day, as the minority party, we feel good about being able to succeed in so many ways. We don’t have the House, we don’t have the Senate, we don’t have the presidency, but we produced a darn good bill for the priorities we have believed in.”

Sen. Schumer also touted the inclusion of the Gateway bridge project in the omnibus, as well as increased funding for the National Institute of Health (NIH).

House Freedom Caucus chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) lamented in an interview with Breitbart News Daily on Tuesday that the “Senate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots.”

Even though they are in the minority they still WIN. RINOS lied to us again, and just like Lucy and football we keep going back over and over. NO MORE FOR ME folks never voting for another "R" in a vote for NATIONAL OFFICE. If Trump runs as something other than "R" if he should make it to 2020 he will get my vote but not as an "R" - the party that stands for NOTHING!

Hell, Obama accomplished plenty with a GOP congress too. They loved him, hate Trump.

Certainly not in the minority when the "R" counts RATS like McStain and Flake as their faithful.

Trump signed that monstrosity. In so doing he lost 1/3 of his core support, lost an opportunity to redefine and vitalize the Republican Party with a crafted veto message and conceded the 2018 elections and probably the 2020 election to the vile Democrats. He is a huge, huge disappointment.

Schumer and Pelousi are trolling Trump.....and Trump will probably respond just the way they want him to..........neither Schumer nor Pelousi have a conscience.....it embarrasses me that any sane person in this country votes for any Dem.

Yes, Trump suckered them again. A big fat military budget. Enough for the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall, and the Congress powerless to stop him. Brilliant.

Apparently from some other threads that's the day Trump stated construction of the "wall" would begin. And the day he would tell Schumer to "stuff" his little bridge project.

Bingo! A strong veto message - focusing on the deficit - would have impressed many independent folks as well. This was truly a lost opportunity, especially with the 2018 elections coming up.

Pres. Trump made it clear that not only was he disappointed with it, but he will not sign another bill like the omnibus bill that corrupt Congress just gave him.

His core will be sore for a few days, but he’ll heal and be there.

How exactly does that work for the US Army Corps of Engineneers and Trummp? "As Breitbart News reported, the omnibus spending bill contains language that explicitly bars funding for a southern border wall."
