1. Schumer needs to go. He is treading water. He doesn't want to exhaust himself. He has to save energy.......

........pick up the paycheck.

We need to put together a fighting force in Congress. It's not an extension of the good old boy's network, where the important part of the week is picking up the paycheck or at least checking that the direct deposit went through.

I've always urged everyone to vote for him since I told them that he could become Majority Leader.

Totally useless. Schumer is not living up to your expectations. He is not a leader we need in this battle to save our democracy. He does not inspire others to take the flanks while he it the tip of the spear. Some one please say IMPEACHMENT for Christ's sake Trump has overstep so many boundaries that warrent impeachment it's hard for a person to keep track.

I saw her in person when she was first running, there was standing room only at that rally in 2006 since President Clinton came to this burg to campaign for her. He's a brilliant speaker and she defeated the incumbent Republican who the local papers said "could have the job for life" if he wanted it. *sigh*
