This is what I have to say to Chuck the Schumuck Failure as the Trump tsunami rumbles.......
GOOD RIDDANCE SCHUMER !

Somewhere deep down, Chuck Schumer seems genuinely to believe that, however many times Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema choose to make themselves clear, they are destined to end up admitting that they like green eggs and ham after all. I cannot count the number of news stories I have read in the last six months that included both a confirmation that Schumer intended to steam ahead and sentences such as “despite Senator Manchin’s opposition” or “despite not having the votes” or “despite the exercise being destined ultimately to fail.” In Schumer’s imagination, Washington, D.C., seems to work like a scene in The West Wing, where well-written scripts outweigh hard political reality and mawkish emotional pressure is all that is needed to convince the recalcitrant. By the end of the today, I half-expect to see the man announce a second vote on last night’s bills to reiterate “where everyone stands.”
Still, bad as Schumer is as both a strategist and a messenger, it’s not clear that the Democrats have a better option at the moment. Dick Durbin seems affable, but is more politically extreme than Schumer. Elizabeth Warren is a nut. Bernie Sanders isn’t technically in the party. Dianne Feinstein is too old, and Alex Padilla is a lightweight. Sheldon Whitehouse is a conspiracy theorist. Cory Booker is a joke. Amy Klobuchar has an appalling temper. And the ones you haven’t heard of? Well, there’s a reason for that. The only figure that might make sense is Tim Kaine, but he suffers from the same lack of strategic restraint as does Chuck Schumer, which would bring us back to square one.
Much as they’d hate to admit it, the Democrats would benefit immensely from having their own Mitch McConnell. But they don’t — and it shows.

He may be an obnoxious hypocrite in public but I’m sure Schumer makes a kindly grandma to the youngsters in his family circle.
“Despicable” is right. There’s something truly odious about that Schumer creep, even leaving aside his political views.
He’s always been a crappy Senator...acting more like a House Rep...
His kidneys are beating Jim but he’s going fast.
I do expect a committee to go to the White House and get Joe to resign. That means Harris is president, and she's probably worse. So I expect a “crazy Trump supporter” to remove Harris from office. So then Pelosi is president. I expect Nancy to announce that she will be president for a short time, but she will nominate someone (Hillary?) to be VP and that Nancy will then step down.
While all that is going on, the Democrats are failing badly in Congress and will do horribly in the Fall elections.
It's not clear to me that we have a government in any real sense.
Great observation, and reminds me of what I discovered during my brief time on Facebook, when I heard from people I hadn't "heard from" in forty years.
Chuck the schmuck is a demon
schmuckee ain’t just the democommies problem.

1. Convince the radical leftists in the Democratic Party that he is pushing their Marxist agenda in the Senate.
2. Assure the Wall Street interests that have owned him for years that none of this nonsense will ever get passed.
With those two facts on the ground, there’s no getting around the fact that he has played this brilliantly. Setting up a scenario where the whole leftist agenda is being blocked by a white guy from a state (West Virginia) that Trump won by almost 40 points is a perfect way to minimize the political fallout within the party.
You are too kind to “Upchuck” Schumer by half. Beauty may be only skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone. Hypocrisy is his life’s work, and he means to succeed at it. So far he is batting 100%. There is no issue out there that Schumer has not been on both sides at some time or another, depending on how the wind is blowing.
Find a parade and get around in front of it, but fail to look back, and you learn it has probably marched off somewhere else and you are marooned again.
This is precisely the personality necessary to rise to the top of a constituency of loons, haters and opportunists. This also describes Nancy Pelosi as well, except she's even more batty, and less intelligent.
TIM KAINE?..................Short Bus Timmy?................
Lest anyone forget, Chuck Schumer was the mentor to pedophile Anthony Weiner.

Stop That!
I am going to have nightmares for months.
And now with the new eyebrows on top of her head, she may never blink again!
Your #6, Harris - Pelosi - Clinton, is entirely possible.
IMO, Clinton is too headstrong for them to trust and thus they would prefer to keep JB propped up in place as long as possible. They could not give a fig about the polls.
My speculation is they will push (as current actions hint) for global circumstances that would warrant martial law (after all, they tried to impeach a sitting president with an entirely fabricated charge). Arguably, martial law is next in a fast-track sequence after corrupted elections.
I remember being in person at a debate between him and Al D'Amato in the Fall of 1998. That was the year he was supposedly called a putzhead. I have also seen Schumer locally at town events, he appears to be quite stupid and rally not at all bright. He waited around long enough to get a leadership post, he's in way over his head.
I expect Nancy to announce that she will be president for a short time, but she will nominate someone (Hillary?) to be VP
