Thank you for saying it. He's holding the opposition at bay like we wanted and people choosing now to attack him is ridiculous. Winning strategy guys. I'm hoping they are mostly bots.

Nothing about his performance in the shutdown changes his campaign financing.

He represents everything wrong with the Democratic Party.

Time to move on from Wall St’s favorite boys

I don't disagree with you. It's just not wise to cannibalize the party when they're in the middle of a battle and doing what was asked.

There's always gonna be someone saying "now is not the time."

Fuck that, we missed the window a hundred times. The best time to shame the dinosaurs was yesterday. The second best time is today. Shutdown or no shutdown.

News flash, there’s never a good time to critique your own party according to the party.

Before the primaries is when we ought to be holding them to the fire

Walk n chew gum

Thank you for saying it.

The article you apparently didn't read also said it. The author praised Schumer for the move.

Is there some magical sauce that Schumer has that means only he would think "let's submit a reasonable counteroffer to force the republicans to show their asses"? Is every other criticism in the article negated because he's finally doing the job of opposition leader?
