Chuck Schumer says Democrats didn't take the Senate because sex-scandal hit North Carolina candidate Cal Cunningham 'couldn't keep his zipper up'
Daily Mail ^ | 12/01/20 | Katelyn Caralle

Chuck Schumer, according to a Tuesday report, told Democrat donors that the fact North Carolina loser Cal Cunningham ‘couldn’t keep his zipper up’ ruined the party’s chances of winning back a majority in the Senate.

A source familiar with conversations between the Senate Minority leader and party donors told Axios that Schumer used the ‘zipper’ comment on several calls.

He also shared with donors that he regrets successfully recruiting Cunningham to run against incumbent North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, who was considered one of the Republicans most in jeopardy of losing his seat.

Cunningham ran a closer-than-expected race last month in North Carolina against Thom Tillis and many thought the seat could turn blue, but a cheating scandal derailed his public office ambitions.

The Democratic challenger admitted a month before the November 3 election to exchanging sexually suggestive text messages with a woman who is not his wife.

Arlene Guzman, a married woman and campaign strategist, confirmed in October that she had a consensual physical relationship with Cunningham in 2020.

Tillis earned 48.7 per cent of the vote to Cunningham’s 46.9 per cent - merely a 1.8 per cent margin.

Schumer shared with donors during recent calls, according to sources with direct knowledge of the conversations, that Cunningham’s actions and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death just ahead of the election ruined Democrats’ chances of regaining their majority in the upper chamber.

Not a peep from Cal's wife although I think I heard that he did indeed stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death just ahead of the election ruined Democrats’ chances of regaining their majority in the upper chamber.


I don’t get it. How would the death of Ginsburg affect Senate elections?

Sounds like he’s not too optimistic about the GA fraud operation for the runoffs.

When the Dems are dictating to us, it’s all about the collective over the individual. When the Dems are in trouble, it’s all about the individual over the collective.

What’s the difference?

Next time they’ll just shove in 50,000 phony votes, twiddle the software to swap 30% of the votes from the R to the D, and then...no problem.

The guy can bang anyone he wants, including Chinese boom boom girls sent by the PLA to entrap the idiot.

What a load of rubbish.
From October 7 (around the time after the scandal broke), every single poll outside Trafalgar polls, had the Dem Cunningham easily winning, sometimes by massive 10%.
Trafalgar called it almost exactly right (Trafalgar Tillis by 2 %. Actual Tillis by 1.8%).
What a joke the fake news polls are.

Thom Tillis is going to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.

You know 100% that the “Margin of Steal” was too high to risk it on the Senate seat! They had to be screaming to load in a higher algorithm or stuff more ballots to get him over the top. Too bad, so sad!

Tillis owes his victory to Trump coattails.

Tillis is a total RINO but still better than the Rat candidate.

There was also a strong rumor that Cunningham was involved in another long term affair (since 2012, IIRC). Local media wouldn’t touch the story.

Once they have 30+ million new voters, our country is gone, what Jersey the traitor was wearing will be irrelevant.
