You don’t want the smartest, you want the most ruthless, media-smart Senator who most aligns with your platform as SML.

Smart doesn't mean effective.
 
Schumer is none of those things. He doesnt have the stones to fight the fights that need fighting. I also dont think he has the moxy to whip the votes on issues of importance.
 
Question 1 for Typhoid Amy should be "Do you agree with the President that everyone should take Regeneron who gets COVID"? Watch her twist into a pretzel trying to answer out of both sides of her mouth and then destroy her lack of objectivity.

Then use that to get into health care. It is a nice easy trap to set to make her look two faced. No it wont change any votes but it also will continue to make the average voter hate the GOP for this crap.

you can’t take ReGeneron, it is a company. You can take ReGeneron products, not the actual company

They are using the company name for the experimental drug he is taking. Even heard a doctor from Regeneron call it that. (After explaining why)
 
I like Schumer. I think his Democratic colleagues, including Warren and Sanders, like him too. I like Pelosi better, but I think Schumer is effective at keeping his caucus in line on votes that matter.
As for the Supreme Court, why didn’t Republicans expand it when they had the trifecta? I guess because they got their 5-4 lead once Gorsuch was appointed, thanks to McConnell’s shenanigans? I know we’re talking about it now, so were Republicans talking about it in 2017? I can’t find much through my Internet searches.

Sure. I'll take some of that Aborted Stem Cell stuff right now.

They didnt need to. They were getting a majority and they accurate guessed RBG would be done before Trump was done.
 
I don't think expanding the court is a winning move long term.

Short term, we need to pass legislation protecting a woman's right to choose. The majority of Americans would agree with this type of legislation. Same with marriage equality. Also, explicitly pass legislation adding protection to LGBTQ to the existing anti-discrimination laws. DON'T rely on a SC interpretation of the existing law -- make it explicit. This isn't all 100% safe, because it could be undone by more legislation, but it's less risky than leaving these things up to SC precedent right now. These are all things the majority of American's agree with. This is how Obama rectified the Lilly Leadbetter ruling.

Longer term, we need to do something about the Republican's advantage in the electoral college, and even bigger advantage in the senate. The court more conservative than the American public because the senate is tilted in favor of the republicans. This needs to be fixed before expanding the court will be anything other than a short-term fix.

There is no reason why these are mutually exclusive. We can work legislatively while also adding states while also reforming the courts. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

It is vital that we move fast. Bulldoze everything. Fast track everything. Nuking the filibuster helps significantly but we should also be streamlining both House and Senate rules to make things run much more smoothly. It's not only the 40 years the Nazis have dragged us backwards that we are making up, it's also the 40 years they have cost America. We are 80 years behind where we should be on democratic, social, and science matters. We are basically jumping an entire century.

This has to be done now, before the Nazis can regroup. Because gridlock will be back sooner than anyone expects. We may have just 2 years to work, and that means every one of those 700-odd days has to be filled with dramatic progress for Americans.

It's a f-cking war. Sitting around picking our navel lint is just going to get a lot of people killed.

You mean they kept the majority due to McConnell's shenanigans. Conservatives have had the majority on SCOTUS since the 1970s.

Scalia's death was the first time in 2 generations for the liberals to take it. McConnell is ramming through ACB because he thinks the Dems will blink again and won't fight back. I hope he's wrong

I think this is like the 3rd thing she has "forgotten" to disclose. She didn't disclose she had been COVID positive and she didn't disclose an article or something that had to do with abortion as well. I dont get it...everyone knows she is vehemently Pro-Life and she is going to be confirmed even if she shoots Amy Klobuchar in the middle of a question. Why leave things out? This is like when coaches get fired because they lied about a job 20 years ago on their resume and never changed it.
