And this why people leave the party and become independent.
I think the reason for Schumer's comment is b/c they dont have to worry about Menendez seat turning red. So he can pretend about innocent until proven guilty crap...this is the duumbass second indictment
dont be surprised when a MAGA populist candidate pops up out of nowhere and wins that seat...instead of you doing the right thing NOW
Democrat leadership cares more about power than any particular policy goal and it's openly transparent. None of their Menendez calculations have anything to do with their ethical ideals of "what is the right thing to do?" They're solely thinking about how it impacts their own power and ability to wield it going forward.
