Schumer Takes Shot at Clinton: You Don’t Blame Russia or Comey When You Lose to Someone Like Trump

BY: David Rutz July 23, 2017 8:41 am

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) took a veiled shot at Hillary Clinton's excuses for losing the 2016 election to Donald Trump, saying that "you blame yourself" when you "lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity," not Russia or James Comey.

Clinton has blamed a variety of factors for her loss to Trump, including then-FBI Director Comey's decision-making during the investigation into her private email server use, Russian meddling in the election and the Democratic National Committee.

"When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you don’t blame other things—Comey, Russia—you blame yourself," Schumer told the Washington Post. "So what did we do wrong? People didn’t know what we stood for, just that we were against Trump. And still believe that."

Chucky looks like he needs some exercise! Maybe a nice walk in a park, or some time in his private gym.

I guess grooming Chelsea for politics isn’t where the big money is going.

What a creep. He was on the Senate floor the other day talking to the empty room about how important it was to get the bottom of the “Russia collusion” nonsense. And now he says it was all just a phony excuse for Clinton.

Schumer must be looking to have himself “offed” by the Clintons. Can’t happen to a more worthy “candidate!”
$hit used to draw flies, now it draws capo politicians.

I guess someone moved the magnets on his moral compass.

I’m gonna guess that Hillary was trying to order him around and he told her the whole world didn’t like her despite what she thought.

No Chuck (or ‘upchuck’, as Sean used to say), people know EXACTLY what the Democrats stand for.

And furthermore, we know exactly what WE stand for - a strong and free United States of America.

Well he’s half right. He is however missing a big component... it also take a certain amount of stupidity to keep believing the MSM’s polls that claim only “40% approval”.

I watched a little of Chucky this morning with Steffy. he was going on and on about how the Dems. are going to bring back higher wages and good jobs for the American people. I’m yelling at the tv to just cut taxes. He offered nothing and after about 2 minutes I gave up and turned him off. It’s the same old tired rhetoric with no results.

[How did they lose]

“People didn’t know what we stood for” say Chuckles

But that is also how you win. Did the vast number of people who voted for obama know what he stood for?
Most didn’t know, or want to know, what he really stood for or who he really was.
Did they want to double our national debt?
Did they want the economy to drag?
Did they want massive job strangling regulations?
Did they want him to piss on the UsC?

This coincides with the rollout of the new Rat slogan. They know they can move their public focus while Mueller proceeds with the coup.
