1. Why wouldn't she?

2. In which case, she should lose committee assignments.

I think she's crafty enough to know that.

4. Yup. nt

6. I also think Schumer told Sinema

if she doesn't vote for him she can kiss her committee assignments goodbye..her gambit only works if she sits on various committees...she needs to give the appearance of actively working for Arizona...

you've got to wonder who are her advisors if she has any at all...Mitch, maybe?

3. Why is that, IF she also doesn't vote for another leader AND also doesn't caucus with the Rethugs?

We would still have a one seat majority, 50-49.

5. Is there any indication she wouldn't? However, it is always good to understand the intricacies of

the crazy Senate rules

7. This move needs to be...

Made excruciatingly painful for her in the long run. I hope she somehow loses all that cash she's hoovering up and become a pauper with an irredeemable reputation in every corner of humanness.

8. Hasn't Shumer already been re-elected as the leader for another term???

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) was reelected Thursday morning to serve another term as Senate majority leader, capping a successful two years for the veteran lawmaker, who was just reelected to a fifth Senate term.

Senate Democrats also reelected the rest of Schumer’s leadership team, giving Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) another term as Senate Democratic whip, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) another term as Democratic Policy Committee chairwoman, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) another term as chairwoman the Democratic Steering Committee and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as chairman of the Democratic Outreach Committee.

10. No. Vote for Majority Leader comes from the full Senate on Jan 3.

11. Majority leader isn't even a formal position in the Senate.

I don’t think it is even defined in the organizing resolution. I would be surprised is senators ever cast such a vote.

9. There is no seminal vote as in the House.

Schumer and McConnell will negotiate a new organizing resolution, and if either side wants their new members to get committee assignments, it likely passes by unanimous consent.

Sinema’s role is minimal.
