Wouldn't Democrat senators from those swing states be less inclined to support Chuck or follow the line he lays down?
He will never self-destruct by getting caught with his pants down like Bill Clinton or Eliot Spitzer.
I could see Schumer shooting himself in the foot with stuff like this:
Just plane rude: Sen. Charles Schumer refers to female flight attendant as the b-word
Then again, if nothing Harry Reid said ever put his job at risk, Chuck Schumer might not have any problems whatever he says.
“If Schumer is that strident, wouldn’t that make it harder for Dems to win in swing states or to win back control of the Senate?”
I’ve thought the same thing myself. We’ll see.
