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.

I’ve said it for 6 years.
Schumer and McCain control the Senate and want to continue to do so.

And that breaking scandal involving an Iraqi politician and possibly multiple prominent Democratic members of Congress could blow up into a GIGANTIC scandal--one that could end up engulfing even Senator Schumer himself. You KNOW new AG Jeff Sessions are already asking questions on just happened.

If Chuck was a weather forecaster he’d be predicting a snow storm in Miami next August.

On the cover of the current issue of Time magazine, they fill the cover with a picture of a smiling Chuck Schumer with the irreverent question captioned, “Are the Democrats still relevant?”

Nyuk, yuk, yuk!

CA....

Those Republicans will be committing electoral suicide.

That's like saying, "Oh, goody! He committed suicide after he killed his wife!"

They need to be stopped before they get to that point.

No Republican up for reelection in 2018 (that would be every Goper in the House + some senators) is going to “break with Trump.”

Schmucky is already a grease spot on the Trump train tracks, he just doesn’t realize it yet. I suspect most Republicans are going to be hanging on to the TT for dear life (those that want to be re-elected, that is) as it picks up speed, rather than jumping off & breaking their political necks.

Schumer’s wet dream manifests every time he gets in front of a microphone. Has anyone in history ever been so in love with the sound of his own voice?

The Republican Globalists have been open for a long time, even pushing their openly Islamist tool Rick Perry on this forum.

Yeah, but those are the guys holding the economic collapse grenade. So far, they haven’t had the guts to use it, since its a WMD and takes down anyone not trading on insider knowledge. Plus, they have no cover and no one has their six.

Looks from here like the street *protests* are faltering in terms of warm bodies. Reddit list T_D as 400k members and many ‘pedes think it is closer to 1M, since reddit is not on Trumps side. That means 400k-1M pro-Trumpers in the Millennial and Gen X tranches. The are activists, influencers and a force to be reckoned with. They are also international and diverse.

If Trump takes out McCain (Senate recalls, or at the least, he’s neutered into silence and impotence)and, by default, Graham, the rest will fall into line. Notice Ryan and Graham have been playing nice the past ten days or so.

Trump has done well, so far. My money is on that to continue. The man does not give up. He takes our side in a fight. He’s only beginning to drain the swamps.

Rick Perry.
The Islamist who signed a bill into law granting Sharia Courts to the Muslims here. Why did you think there were so many in Texas?

Do you not pay attention to the world around you, or do you not understand the role Sharia Law plays in Islam? There isn’t a third possibility. Make no mistake.
