Schumer: GOP will break from Trump within months
MSN News ^ | February 21, 2017 | Jordain Carney

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) predicted on Tuesday that Republicans will split with President Trump within months unless the administration changes course.

"My prediction is he keeps up on this path...within three, four months you're going to see a whole lot of Republicans breaking with him," Schumer said during an interview with ABC's "The View."

Schumer argued while most GOP lawmakers aren't yet willing to break publicly from the White House, they are privately having "real problems" with Trump's policies in his first month.

"A lot of the Republicans, they're mainstream people. ... They will feel they have no choice but to break with him," he said.

They are delusional. They are still stuck in mindset that Hillary was going to win and Trump had no chance.

I said here in November, and I repeat it now, Trump has to make up his mind about the GOP - whether keeping it around makes sense, or whether getting rid of it and running his own candidates in 2018 makes sense.

He has less than six months to figure it out.

Beyond the known Never-Trump Repubs in congress (we know who they are), Chuck U’s hope for mass R defections is mostly wishful thinking, especially once Trump’s policies begin bearing fruit.

If the Senate couldn’t even hold ranks to censor Cruz after he called McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate, outside of McCain, Graham and Collins, NONE will risk attracting the Tweet of Sauron.

The democrats are telling the republicans that the dems don’t want to lose power and if they do, the republicans can’t just sit around and enjoy their perks any longer...

“Trump has really stepped into it this time! It’s all over for him now!”

Yep. President Trump finally pissed off the wrong guy: Chuck Schumer.

As an ex boxer, I’ve always wondered what would happen if you punched someone who wears their glasses on the lower bridge of their nose with a very powerful uppercut.

Just conjecture since with the nerve damage I have, i’m lucky I can punch through paper.

Hey Schmucker, your niece is a ####ing pig whore.

That usually comes from the parents’ upbringing.

Which means WTF kind of house were you raised in?

They have manipulated the republicans into not grasping where the main stream is for years.... they know they are better trying to convince them to move than Trump because Trump ain’t falling for their crap.

All of us need to let these Republican’s know... you falter, you will be gone next election

Hmmmm-——”A lot of the Republicans, they’re mainstream people.”—— Uh some rinos already showing their stripes. Besides which, chucky, your mainstream ain’t my mainstream. Your mainstream is everything YOU CLOWNS want and NOTHING actual CONSERVATIVES are looking for.
