Okay so in all seriousness why do these Senate Dems want to cave so much despite clearly knowing it’s bad politics. Do they think it’s bad politics now, but good politics long term for some stupid reason? Are any of them getting bribed by Trump like Cuomo and Adams?

Honestly, primarying Schumer and applying EXTREME pressure for him to resign immediately is a bare necessity, whether he kills us with this vote or not.
Even floating the idea reflects a total inability and unwillingness to lead, or represent Americans.
Regardless of the outcome, he is a traitor.
