Good points as to what is going on behind the scenes. Yes, Schumer will be the looney on MSNBC, while Manchin can sound like he’s not taking any guff from Schumer.
Schumer probably expects to lose a few Senate seats this time around.
I haven’t heard any chatter in many months, about the possibility of the Democrats taking back the Senate. There’s still chatter about the Democrats taking the House, but not the Senate.
8-10 months ago the Rats were counting on hatred of Trump to bring them power. But the funny thing about hatred is that it brings a backlash and hundreds of thousands of moderate Democrats have realized that their party has left them and Antifa is the new face of the DemocRat party.
