I am posting this comment by Steve Schmidt as a test for DU. Do you want the harsh truth or

[flashman13]

do you wish to hold on to many of the falsehoods and fantasies that have produced this mess. ALERT! He does not speak well of some Democrats. He is 100% correct in his assessments.

I don't know how to petition Senate Democrats, but here and now I am calling for the Senate Democratic caucus to call an immediate meeting in order to oust Chuck Schumer from his leadership position and replace him with Adam Schiff. Maybe Schiff can get the party up off the tracks and out onto the barricades. Schumer can't.

I have great respect for the wisdom, warmth and kindness of many fellow DUers. However, I feel that many others do not wish to acknowledge the fact that some Democrats share responsibility for this national crisis/disaster. The old guard will not save us. This post is a test to see which faction is is going to take us into the future. If the powers that be chose to remove this post - so be it. I will take that as a repudiation of myself and the truth and I will remove myself as an active member of Democratic Underground. Peace
