Chuck Schumer just has a way of solidifying the opposition. [View all]

On some votes where a few Republicans are leaning to voting against a bill, Schumer will find a way to push them to voting for it.

He rubs his hands in glee, with his big Joker smile, and says, "What are you gonna do now!? You can't get out of voting against this bill. The American people are watching. You are caught in a trap!"

Then, just out of spite, they vote against the bill and the Democrats lose again.
