    Schumer voted against the deal. Place blame where it belongs:

    John Fetterman

    Catherine Masto

    Jacky Rosen

    Angus King

    Maggie Hassan

    Tim Kaine

    Dick Durbin

    Jeanne Shaheen

    These are the ones who caved.

      Are people down voting because he voted to open the vote? I’m so confused, all of this is so damn confusing.

        It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it. He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.

        So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.

        Probably because it is naive to think that Schumer didn’t approve or even push for the Democrats to capitulate.
