To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

This happened when Chuck Schumer caved on the CR. Like 20 Senate Dems wouldn’t answer if they had confidence in Schumer. Not one actually called for him to step down, and they won’t this time either. Not Bernie, not Warren. No one.
Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

It must be so awesome to be a Republican dealing with nothing but pathetic losers in the ”opposition party”

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

It’s insane that there aren’t mass calls from both caucuses for Schumer and Jeffries to step down
👀 Hakeem Jeffries defends Chuck Schumer, saying he "waged a valiant fight on behalf of the American people"

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

Not a single Democrat who voted yes has even a 10% convincing explanation as to why. They’re all like “listen you don’t understand the senate, when we take this vote in 40 days the true Republican Party will be revealed and we’ll win” like wtf are you all talking about?

It’s nice that Ezra opposes the fold, but he has spent the last month obsessing over how we can win over and negotiate with the right, so it seems these Senators are basically following his logic
"If Trump wanted to cancel flights over Thanksgiving rather than keep health care costs down, I don’t see why Democrats should save him from making his priorities so exquisitely clear. And I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure."

Cancelled holiday travel plans for the wealthy are a bigger issue for the Democratic Party than cancelled health insurance plans for the poor.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

“We got a promise of a vote on healthcare and after Republicans kill that bill the public will know who is REALLY at fault“ yeah the problem with that is that the news cycle will move on 32 minutes later and no one will even remember the vote took place

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

in an abstract way it's funny how democrats held firm when SNAP was cut off but folded .5 milliseconds after one senator had their flight delayed

i genuinely do think that even like, an additional week would have created incredible psychodrama within the white house
He’s about to stroke out from all the pressure and I cannot stop thinking about how the dem senate gave him a way out of half of it lol
lmfao he knows he's unpopular so he's trying to hit the affordability button by sending out checks with his name on it again

Before it was “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” and now it’s “we tried something and decided that’s a bad idea.”
For a sitting U.S. senator to say on live TV “standing up to Trump didn’t work” … man, I don’t know
