Blame the messengers: Dem boss Schumer fires staffers after November rout
Fox News ^ | .12/20/16 | Brooke Singman

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, smarting from the Democratic Party's big November losses, is blaming the messengers.

With Christmas days away, nearly every member of the Senate Democratic Media Center has been fired, a senior Democratic aide confirmed to Fox News. Schumer swung the axe on Friday, according to Politico, which first obtained “goodbye” emails from staffers, including some with decades' experience.

The move comes amid plans to revamp the unit, which handles video content, in an effort to help the Senate Democratic caucus get their message out in the New Year. The party not only lost the presidential race, it failed to capture the Senate or House and lost state legislative races throughout the country.

Trump needs to hire a few of them, good opposition research.

UpChuckie would have fired them if they had said the Bolshies were going to lose.

What?

The Left is not blaming the election losses on Climate Change?

Maybe it is Bush’s fault.

Fire a bunch of people just before Christmas.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Used to ‘agonize’ when the right time to fire someone.

Figured just go ahead and do it you are a plick no matter when. (From a Construction Business in Mid Atlantic clime)

If you do it first of year you are wrong because
“I never would have spent all that money for Christmas”
Do it in the Spring you are wrong because
“It is to late to get a good job in another company now”
Do it in the Fall you are wrong because
“I sent my wife and kids on a good vacation - never would have etc etc”
Do it around Christmas and
“I never would have spent all that money on Christmas Presents”..

etc...

There is no good ‘set’ time... JUST DO IT...

The Democrats did a GREAT JOB getting their ‘message’ out - with Trump helping, of course.

Obviously that was their mistake...

Great move Chuckie. No experience is what you need. Looking good for a 60-plus seat super-majority for the GOP in 2018.

Funny how Liberals get upset with Trump’s “You’re Fired” line.

I guess Chuck the Schmuck figured he would give it a try.

Maybe he is auditioning for the next season of The Apprentice after Arnold gives it a shot. LOL

Schumer is Jewish. Christmas is probably not a big deal.

I know Schumer is genetically Jewish...but is he spiritually Jewish, or just spiritually barren?

Just happened to me-10 years with the company and a phone call early Fri morning when my email/company log in/company phone had already been cut off telling me I was “laid off” (aka—FIRED). They cut insurance same day which was the worst part really. This is cold, cruel, heartless and every other word you can think of to describe something like this happening—still— it did. Recourse? Unemployment (gee thanks!) and COBRA (meaning $900 for 20 days of insurance thru end of month). I hope at least Schumer was a bit more generous altho he is a dem and I doubt it—

Look at the list of Jewish Senators and Representatives, all, but one current and one just elected, are Democrat.
