Schumer understands TV and what people watching will think. Schumer knows he is not smart enough to take on Roberts and win. Schumer knows if he plays attack dog on national TV with lots of people watching, he will just damage his own reputation.
Schumer knows that every time the camera goes on Roberts the viewers think nice and very brilliant man. Schumer knows that everytime the camera goes on Kennedy or Bidden the viewers think obnxious a$$es.
Schumer has national ambitions. Biden does too. But Biden is very dumb and Schumer is not that dumb. Schumer knows that if he goes after Roberts, Roberts will tattoo the phrase "Obnoxious A$$" on Schumers forehead as well.
Schumer does not want to give Roberts a chance to do to him what Roberts is doing to Kennedy and Bidden.
It is the first rule of politics..
As he ends his round, I think you now have idea why I wanted to wait before writing off Schumer as an attack dog. Appears he was just lying in wait . . .
Yesterday, he was apparently probing for soft spots. Today, he launched the attack. There was a time or two where I thought he had Roberts' in a tight corner.
