Schumer was quite skillful in accomplishing what he wanted to do

HAAAAAAA! Sorry but this is incredibly naive. You do NOT accomplish things in politics by making yourself look thuggish and our of control. This may turn on the loony base of the Democrat party but Schumer's act did ENOURMOUS damage to the Democrats PR of being trustworthy with power. Schumer came across as an out of control Soviet Style Apparatchik at a show trial. It's like the Wellstone Memorial. It does NOT give the Independents a very good feeling about the Democrats ability to separate partisanship from power. That sort of histrionics may sell well in New York, it will NOT play anywhere outside of New York.

this is not about the rest of the country, it's about the soundbites that'll be played on the morning shows.
Schmuckie will be on all the shows and he'll be positioned as asking "tough question" when, in fact, he was slammed.
Same with Russie.
