Decision Time for Chuck Schumer?
NY Times ^ | July 11, 2024, 4:32 p.m | Carl Hulse

If Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and majority leader, is known for anything, it is his singular devotion to President Biden’s agenda, which he has helped steer through Congress, and loyalty to Mr. Biden himself, a former Senate colleague whom he admires and respects.

But Mr. Schumer is also passionate about his role as his party’s longtime chief Senate race strategist, a hands-on political geek who digs deep into the numbers of every Senate race and is determined to hold both his narrow majority and the White House in November.

Over the past two weeks, as Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign has been plunged into crisis following his disastrous debate performance, those two imperatives have come into direct conflict, posing a dilemma for Mr. Schumer as more and more Democrats — including many in his own ranks — question the president’s ability to continue as the Democratic nominee...

I can't imagine that the Democrat Senate race strategist job is a difficult job considering the bumbling, clueless opposition.

I still dream of him being among the victims on Criminal Minds: Evolution. Along with the View and MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace.

Chuck Schumer may be losing control, not because of any efforts on the part of the Republicans, but because the Democrat Socialists are descending into a civil war within their ranks, and there is no way to restore even a modicum of compromise and unity to the now openly hostile bomb throwers on each side of whether Biden should go or stay.

If Biden stays, there is little chance of his winning regardless of how massive the vote fraud and election interference may be, and failing takes down whole legions of House and even Senate seats. On the other hand, the old adage about “Don’t change horses in the middle of the stream” comes into play, and the replacement candidate is at a huge disadvantage psychologically and in terms of recrafting the message, while attempting to placate the diehards that stood foursquare against the removal of Joe as the head of the ticket. An indeterminate number of those voters may just stay home or vote third-party.

The Democrat Socialists have managed the improbable trick of screwing themselves, and they have nobody else to blame.

“The Democrat Socialists have managed the improbable trick of screwing themselves...”

They must have been carefully scrutinizing the Republican playbook.

If he’s “known for anything” it is being a shameless liar.

The NATO thing was over by 1993.

I haven’t found one mainstream article discussing the fate of the country over this scandal. It’s all talked about from the standpoint of beating Trump or keeping their jobs.

It is crystal clear that Biden isn’t running the country... That isn’t a ‘threat’ to democracy... That’s the end of democracy.

Nobody elected Jill, Hunter and Biden’s staff to run the United States of America, but it’s more than obvious that they are running it. Biden can’t be in charge, he barely knows what day it is.

College interns wearing lanyards are running this country. What an unknown mess for the next administration to inherit.

Stay a snake, or repent and so shock the world into mass conversions to Catholicism like Guadalupe.
