Next time the DNC asks you for money to “save Democracy”, remember this coordinated act of cowardice. Funny how they got the exact number of Dems to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. I bet the eight turncoats were bought off and Chuck Schumer was in on it. Not buying his no vote.

lol. Schumer’s fingerprints are all over this deal. Using retiring Senators to make it happen and pretending he’s opposing it is classic Schumer gamesmanship. Baffling that he thinks we’ll fall for it. And if people do, they’ll come away thinking he has lost his caucus. Not inspiring.
