Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump's agenda Sunday, arguing Trump had governed like "someone from the hard right" in his first 100 days.
In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Schumer, a New York Democrat, dinged Trump on a slew of issues, including healthcare, trade and efforts to overhaul the tax code. Schumer called the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court one of the few clear successes of the administration.
"He is not governing from the middle. He's governing from the hard right," Schumer said. "That's why his regime has had hardly any major successes with the exception of Gorsuch."
"If he changes, we could work together," Schumer said of Trump. "But he can't just dictate what he wants, not talk to us and say you must support it."

FYI...Schumer’s father was an rat exterminator.
Trump is now far right. LOL.
So that means all the people who
voted and support Trump are far right ?
KMA.
Translation: If Trump capitulates to our demands, maybe we’ll talk to him.
Good luck with that, Schmuckey!
Chuckie Knucklehead: please leave NOW, you traitor.
Would be better if you changed. You live in lala land. The President lives in today’s world.
Otherwise KOA, your ideas lost your party the election, didn't they?
If Schumer was sane Trump could work with him
“FYI...Schumer’s father was an rat exterminator.”
You missed a BIG one, didn’t you Ol’ Man Schumer?!
Hard Right = Right of Stalin.
Schumer, you had better have me hanged or don’t live long enough for those like me to push for leadership to have you tried and hanged for treason. If it has to be me, I’d die with honor for having opposed someone like you.
...only to inject morphine to not hear you die screaming. I have all I can take of evil people like him. Can anyone provide a bio on this guy? Where does his money come from? What is his background?
Found info on Wikipedia. “He never practiced law, choosing a life of politics.” Power hungry. A dangerous political zealot for the leftist side. No wonder he is so anti-gun. Can’t take over if the people are armed. This guy is the worst of the worst.
As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Schumer was one of four congressional members who oversaw the House investigation (leading the Democratic defense of the Clinton administration), of the Waco siege hearings in 1995.
In April 2012, he introduced a bill that would kill Arizona's anti-immigration law, SB 1070 and ones like it if the Supreme Court were to rule in favor of the states. He backed his position, saying: "States like Arizona and Alabama will no longer be able to get away with saying they are simply 'helping the federal government' to enforce the law when they are really writing their own laws and knowingly deploying untrained officers with a mission of arresting anyone and everyone who might fit the preconceived profile of an illegal immigrant."
This guy is REALLY dangerous to Americans.
Following the meltdown of the subprime mortgage industry in March 2007, Schumer proposed a federal government bailout of subprime borrowers in order to save homeowners from losing their residences and to shore up communities that were seeing neighborhoods destabilized due to foreclosures and the resulting decreases in neighboring home values.
Schumer's top nine campaign contributors are all financial institutions that have contributed over $2.5 million to the senator.
After being asked by a flight attendant to turn off his cell phone during take-off of a US Airways flight from New York to Washington D.C. on December 13, 2009, Schumer referred to the flight attendant as a "bitch." Schumer made the comment to fellow New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who was seated next to him, but was overheard by a Republican House aide who happened to be on the plane. After the story was reported on Politico.com, Schumer issued an apology through a spokesperson for the "off-the-cuff comment".
If Chuckie changes, he can work with Trump.
Arrogant socialist POS.
The possibility of ruining peoples' lives one at a time in court just wasn't as attractive as the certainty of being able to ruin them en mass from Congress...
...”If he changes, we could work together...”
It seems to me that people have been saying that to Trump for well over a year.
But Trump doesn’t change and Trump keeps winning.
Looks like Trump has the edge here.
CHUCK you Schumer! Can’t stomach this one or the rest of these whining, lying, corrupt liberals!
