A Facebook friend just dunked on Schumer. This was my response. [View all]

His post was basically "Schumer's got to go" because Trump is still standing. And he is a DEMOCRAT whose political posts are 100% anti-Trump.

This was my response. You can decide if I'm a genius or clueless or somewhere in between.


"We're in uncharted waters, and Schumer is an old school politician. Here's a metaphor for you. Imagine an auto mechanic, maybe a guy who is now in his 70s. All his life, he's worked on Chevys, Fords, basically Detroit cars driven by average working Americans. One day, someone drives in a foreign car that he's never seen before. He has neither the knowledge nor the tools to repair it because he's never seen one before. George W Bush was an idiot. His father, and Ronald Reagan, and Richard Nixon were basically old-school Republicans, as messed up as they each were. But dealing with them, as frustrating as it may have been, was a straight line between two points that may have had a few twists along the way. TRUMP is a MADMAN. He's a con man, a serial liar, a rapist, a felon, a racist, an adulterer, a bully, a misogynist. Who can we name right now who'd do a better job than Schumer whrn it comes to Trump? And I'm not defending him or saying he did a great, or even acceptable job. Sure, we can boot Schumer, and who are we going to put in his place? We have a number of very smart, savvy orators in the Democratic party who can tell you exactly who and what Trump is, but if you put them nose-to-nose against Trump and a Republican Congress, how are they going to accomplish what Schumer has not?"
