Democrats are seething after news emerged on Sunday that eight members of their Senate caucus had collaborated with Republicans on crafting a compromise to end the longest government shutdown in US history, without winning any healthcare concessions that they had sought.
But one name is coming in for more opprobrium than any other: Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader who had led the Democrats’ weeks-long stand against reopening the government without an extension of tax credits that lower premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans.
If the results of the crucial Sunday vote are any indication, the outcome Democrats fought so hard against is now set to happen, potentially in the next few days. And though Schumer does not publicly support the compromise, lawmakers and Democrat-affiliated groups have turned on him, criticizing his leadership and calling for his ouster.
“Last night, eight ‘moderate’ Democrats got played. Conned. Rooked. Pantsed. Pumped and dumped. Rode hard and put away wet,” Rick Wilson, the ex-Republican strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, wrote in a piece titled “Schumer and the Hateful Eight Betray America”.
“It was a colossal leadership failure, and Chuck Schumer should resign as minority leader immediately if he had a shred of honor or shame.”
The sentiment is rife in progressive groups such as Our Revolution, whose executive director Joseph Geevarghese said: “Chuck Schumer should step down as Senate minority leader immediately. If he secretly backed this surrender and voted no to save face, he’s a liar. If he couldn’t keep his caucus in line, he’s inept. Either way, he’s proven incapable of leading the fight to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.”

This article is pure BS. The Repubs blinked as they always do and the Dems got SNAP money through Agriculture for their illegal alien voting bloc.
The holidays are coming up. Maybe he can snag a seasonal job at one of the big department stores.
“Honor and shame,” are not to be used in the same sentence when describing that no good son of a bitch, Chuck Schumer!
There, you have my opinion based on observing that bastard’s antics for too long. He should not resign, he should be strung up in the Senate chamber to be a warning to all of the other Damnocrats he once “led” to evil deeds!
I wish him no good thing.

If the Rats had agreed to the extension from the the beginning snap funding would have been there regardless.
This was about extending Obama care subsidies not SNAP, and the Rats caved.
