  • Right, because there are only a few options here, and none of them are good for Schumer: He was aware of the plan to vote for the bill, and couldn’t do anything to stop it. He is an incompetent and ineffective leader of the party in the Senate.

    He was aware of the plan, and agreed with it or spearheaded it: He, as leader of the Democrats in the Senate, wanted this and cosigned it, leaving him to blame (spoilers, but this is actually what happened)

    He was unaware of 8 separate Democrats colluding behind his back to vote for a Republican bill to end a MASSIVELY politically advantageous situation for the Democrats. Again, he is incompetent and should be fired.

No reasonable Dem would have voted to end it otherwise. And obviously, the Minority Leader would be involved heavily in those discussions.

    That being said, this is all from memory, so don’t quote me on it
