‘It Is Not Chuck Schumer’s Job to Satisfy Your Emotional Needs’

I loved the above headline on Josh Barro’s recent post. … What do Schumer critics want Dems to do? More paddle-board, pink-dresses and howling-rage protests? … As Michael Baharaeen notes at Liberal Patriot: “’Resistance’ will only take (Dems) so far, especially if rooted in nothing more than mindless rage.” … Bottom line: Dems need to pick effective battles, expand their base and win future elections.

Note – U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who loves revving up the progressive base, is critical of Schumer’s budget vote. But she’s not calling for his replacement, the Globe reports. I.e., she probably knows Schumer took one for the team.
