So, you feel qualified to put DUers to the test? MineralMan Feb 2025 #1

I was not being snarky. I was asking questions. MineralMan Feb 2025 #27

Calm Down Jazz Jon Feb 2025 #86

LOL! OK... MineralMan Feb 2025 #93

I am 100% in agreement that the Party needs to respond... Moostache Feb 2025 #2

Agree! Do we even have unified opposition in the Dem party? RiverStone Feb 2025 #65

+1. Sheldon Whitehouse should be the leader, radius777 Feb 2025 #112

Not Schiff JustAnotherGen Feb 2025 #3

4 great suggestions. Murphy has been on fire yorkster Feb 2025 #12

I think Murphy has it right, and is rising to the moment. yellow dahlia Feb 2025 #67

Whitehouse said he was going to vote to confirm brainworm bob, niyad Feb 2025 #83

This! calimary Feb 2025 #68

Yes in Murphy J-9 Feb 2025 #82

Fine by me. I will support anyone on your list. flashman13 Feb 2025 #100

Fine by me. I will support anyone on your list. flashman13 Feb 2025 #101

I like Murphy. He has experience in the Senate. Renew Deal Feb 2025 #104

Also Schiff stabbed President Biden in the back. totodeinhere Feb 2025 #107

Ditto! BigmanPigman Feb 2025 #115

Schumer is a good Democrat, but not the best leader Raven123 Feb 2025 #4

Good way to put it. I scream everytime I see his monotone reading of statements in an empty Senate Chamber. Silent Type Feb 2025 #13

It can be, but people have held up Mitch McConnell as a leader EdmondDantes_ Feb 2025 #19

That may have been true in the past, but Mitch's power had been waning Raven123 Feb 2025 #23

Biden, Obama, and Clinton Rcanouse Feb 2025 #25

They have no power. Raven123 Feb 2025 #33

Posted on FB by Elizabeth Warren (sorry it is a bit long) birdographer Feb 2025 #48

Thank you for posting. I appreciate seeing her speak loud and clear Raven123 Feb 2025 #63

Very similar to Senator Tina Smith's (Mn) post on FB LNM Feb 2025 #77

Loud and clear, Liz. Magoo48 Feb 2025 #78

Welcome to DU. vanlassie Feb 2025 #73

Well and respectfully stated. KPN Feb 2025 #59

B.S. Schumer is not the problem. This is the same exact garbage that was leveled at Daschle and Reid. valleyrogue Feb 2025 #5

Schumer is a problem. Alliepoo Feb 2025 #8

You would be the first one to complain if he was replaced with somebody else. valleyrogue Feb 2025 #11

I doubt I'd be doing much complaining Alliepoo Feb 2025 #15

This is incredibly ageist. intheflow Feb 2025 #29

I'm 63. Lunabell Feb 2025 #32

I'm 80 Jilly_in_VA Feb 2025 #37

Thanks, Jilly. At 77, I agree with you. Fight and lead or stand back. Magoo48 Feb 2025 #81

Me too. 75 BonnieJW Feb 2025 #88

What is it about the '60's, and '70's Protests that you want to point out? (I was there) electric_blue68 Feb 2025 #75

Other senators can put pressure on Maga. Schumer's job is to work with his caucus. LeftInTX Feb 2025 #57

Senator Schatz (Hawaii) appears to have already started - soldierant Feb 2025 #109

The position is based on being able to "whip" the caucus. LeftInTX Feb 2025 #110

Agreed yellow dahlia Feb 2025 #74

Sorry, but Schumer is a problem. berksdem Feb 2025 #30

I remember Daschle and Gephardt racing to the White House to see who could capitulate fastest and hardest over Iraq. Gore1FL Feb 2025 #34

Steve Schmidt can go fuck himself, greedy opportunist that he is. demmiblue Feb 2025 #10

thank you... WarGamer Feb 2025 #20

Yes, he helped create this fucking monster. GoCubsGo Feb 2025 #52

Yes Democrats share some responsibility in this but so does Steve Scmidt standingtall Feb 2025 #16

Which Democrats stood solidly by Biden? 3825-87867 Feb 2025 #35

Biden announced he wouldn't run again only after relentless pressure from Democratic standingtall Feb 2025 #46

You are right. 3825-87867 Feb 2025 #54

Wasn't 2024 a lesson learned? Why do we care what neocon Steve Schmidt saya? WarGamer Feb 2025 #17

This is delusional nonsense. Schumer was unanimously reelected just a few months ago. He's not going to be ousted tritsofme Feb 2025 #21

Democracy will not be saved by any one person, BarbD Feb 2025 #22

Thank you mountain grammy Feb 2025 #24

Now is not the time to form a circular firing squad. muriel_volestrangler Feb 2025 #26

This is not a circular firing squat Jilly_in_VA Feb 2025 #38

You want to fire Schumer? Of course it's a firing squad. By definition. muriel_volestrangler Feb 2025 #45

I don't like tests, they make me feel icky and demand cat cuddles. nt yaesu Feb 2025 #28

I agree 100%! Lunabell Feb 2025 #31

I'll give Schmidt points on this: peggysue2 Feb 2025 #36

Schmidt is a loudmouth who had a heavy hand in getting in into this mess. Basso8vb Feb 2025 #39

Well at least he's seen how ugly the Dump team is Felicita Feb 2025 #92

We can't and shouldn't rely on Congress liberalgunwilltravel Feb 2025 #40

Personally, I'll take AOC and Jasmine Crockett as my Dem spokeswomen for $1000000, Alex FirstLight Feb 2025 #41

Schmidt was instrumental in helping GWB totodeinhere Feb 2025 #44

Not only that, but he was behind the whole Dean Phillips "candidacy" that helped... PunkinPi Feb 2025 #71

Steve is EMITA. Lemons UK Feb 2025 #47

There's nothing in this post that violates the DU rules, imo .... but, dobleremolque Feb 2025 #49

I'm with you! Something has to change or all we can expect is to get the same results. usaf-vet Feb 2025 #50

I don't think 5 commenters here even agree among themselves on what to do 3825-87867 Feb 2025 #51

What about what he did in 2024? LeftInTX Feb 2025 #99

I forgive him bigtree Feb 2025 #102

But the question arises. totodeinhere Feb 2025 #106
