Watching Schumer now. He started with mentioning how President Trump asked him into the Oval Office. A minute or so later he said no one on the Repub side even asked for “an ounce” of input.

Then he said this President is creating “brinksmanship” not bipartisanship.

And more garbage...Schumer is determined to TRY to offload this onto to Trump.

Chuckie looks like he’s going to start crying crocodile tears again. Blames Trump 100% for the shutdown.

This POS gives POS a bad name.

“Democrats will continue to strive for a bi-partisan agreement...”

Yeah, bi-partisan defined as a bunch of RAT bastards plus GOP traitors like LIttle Lindsay and that demented idiot Flake.

Get ready for the tweets! Should be fun. Go president Trump Go.

Making Schumer the face of this is brilliant everybody loves a condescending New York Jewish guy - its going go over like a lead balloon. Thank you Chuck, you just totally blew it.

This shutdown is going to last a very short amount of time they've never had somebody who plays to win as an opponent this is super awesome. They will cave faster like a mine in Chilean earthquake.

I didn’t think my disgust for Schumer had room to grow, but after just watching his speech...

It was also pathetic how he said (I think 3 times) that this is a “Trump Shutdown”, trying to throw off the yoke of the “Schumer Shutdown.” He didn’t even have original material to offer on that.

I’m still processing this Schumer Spectacle, but I don’t recall hearing the word “DACA” once...maybe I missed it, but that’s what this is ALL about.
