can schumer be removed as minority leader?

[moonshinegnomie]

if so I think its time.... hes a failure. let someone with a spine take his place

[Historic NY]

1. Not a sharp as old Harry Reid.

[H2O Man]

2. Not even close.

[Celerity]

11. Reid was a badass, he brooked no truck with fools and dodginess.

[Ocelot II]

3. Only by a vote of Senate Dems.

4. its time....

[Big Blue Marble]

5. He can certainly be pressured to resign his minority leadership position.

And it’s time to ask the Senate Democrats to request his resignation.

[moonshinegnomie]

6. not just his leadership position

he should be forced to resign his seat.

[stopdiggin]

7. 'course he can ! - - think you have anything like the votes to do that? -(nt)-

[cadoman]

8. anyone who is ragging on Schumer should acknowledge their newfound comfort with government shutdowns

Because that was the only card he could have played.

I wouldn't blame him if he did, but ultimately would give Trump even more power, so how does that help?

What should he have done differently?

17. None of us want a shutdown! FFS But we manage to get through it, every single time.

Letting the Republicans get away with supporting Trump's destruction of the country, and Dems VOTE FOR IT?????? What the actual fuck with wrong with people?

Side note: a lot of people who would lose jobs/not be paid? Already fired! Many of us worried about SS payments? Not going to be any more certain.

History all over again. I know, let's appease Hitler! He'll be nicer to us then!

9. Give us some names to chose from

So we can think about this. Seriously. Who might fit the bill?

[awesomerwb1]

12. Murphy

[flamingdem]

14. I like him

Wonder why he doesn't get more attention.

Somehow he doesn't seem very central.

I like his social media but wish he wouldn't curse, lol!

[Celerity]

15. My pick would be Murphy or Whitehouse or Warnock. Would love to see Warren there, but too many centrists will be auto-No

her.

Duckworth might be a darkhorse to watch, and Schatz as well could be a darkhorse, plus maybe Kelly, but he is a bit too centrist for me.

The downside for Warnock and Kelly is that both are in purple seats they could lose.

Finally, absolutely no one who was ever in the Problem Solvers Caucus in the House.

[moonshinegnomie]

10. shut it the fuck down

you dont appease terrorists

[JI7]

13. There is nobody challenging him for it

[moonshinegnomie]

16. that may change in 24 hours

i hope it does.
