Asked why he doesn't think it's time to pass the torch, 74 year old Minority Leader Chuck Schumer replies: "Look, I am focused on winning - as I always have been - and we are."

whew, that’s a relief. I was under the impression we’d been consistently losi—
Wait this can’t be right. Oh no. In the replies they’re saying that Schumer is full of shit??? Oh no, we HAVE been losing haven’t we
he's massaging chumps scrot all career politicians can eat a dick atp this system is fucking rigged we need to rip it the fuck down and rebuild it with the bones of the billionaires who have raped in pillaged it since 1776
What a revealing answer. Not focused on protecting our country or our constitution, just winning his next election. The crazy thing is that it’s a losing strategy. People are sick of politicians who just care about keeping their jobs.
Let's say he "wins" the 2026 midterms, becomes Senate majority leader, just through the happy accident of being caucus leader at a moment when everyone is rejecting the GOP. How much will we all have lost in the meantime? What will even be left by November of 2026?
He is losin and he should paved the way for sharper minds , fresher legs , his antics gettin stale ...Chuck , time to think out the box , ya gig ain't workin , too predictable
Can’t get a straight up answer from Schumer about anything. It’s all double speak and regurgitated talking points. You’ve lost your courage so move out of the way.
Honestly Chuck is completely ignoring his base and his fellow cohorts and just everyone. It's like screaming into the void. So I think it's time to switch tactics and find out who his major donors are and start putting pressure on them. If all they listen to is the people with money, this is the way
Every NFL coach ever fired was focused on winning. Just cause you wanna win doesn’t mean you will and it doesn’t mean you’re the right guy to help the team win. Is Doug Pederson still the coach in Philadelphia?
Ah, Chuck. Still playing the political game.
While people are clamoring for change, youth, fight, and leadership...
That man is so atrociously out of touch with reality...
Is there anything that the public or voters could do that would make it so clearly obvious he is losing and needs to gtfo that he couldn't deny it? What would that look like? Just curious - since something needs to burst his delusional bubble permanently and soon.
The problem with most is "How do we win?" In Avengers, Tony Stark asks "How many did we win?" in regards to outcomes with conflict with Thanos. The better question is "What way yields THE best result for all?" Sometimes you need those Apollo Creed moments to be a better champion in time.
PRO TIP:
When your mental faculties are being questioned, DO NOT SAY: "we're winning" during a lawless Fascist insurrection kidnapping American children with cancer and...and ...

You fucked up the line, @schumer.senate.gov . Because no matter your focus, you failed so hard you lost to a criminal president who is violating the constitution daily. Acknowledge reality or get primaried.
there's a reason he gets to feel like he's winning despite all evidence. It's because he knows what his real job is, and has been very successful at being a real useless piece of shit. He's winning something for somebody, it just doesn't have anything to do with fixing anything for any real people.
Just tell him he can keep his membership at the Congressional gym if he steps down - that way he can still hang out with all his buddies and get the occasional stock tip
Look, my good friends the Baileys have a more nuanced understanding of politics and they actually recognize that some of what Trump is doing is good. So really "winning" might look more like engaging in robust debate and embracing the spirit of compromise with the fascists
But is he focused near term using his reading glasses or far using his uncorrected eyes? It’s important to know the difference bc even though he says he’s focused, trust but verify is a thing especially when there’s reason to suspect the person’s eyes do not focus on their own
That was the easiest layup of a question that fckhead is ever going to get anymore. What a fking loser to keep holding on to the damn steering wheel with a death grip but too scared and too corrupt to ever turn the damn ship away from certain doom.
Ken your takes don’t always land, but I will keep coming back to you because you relentlessly hound the skeletocracy that my party has become. This is it, keep hitting.
Tired of Chuck Schumer lecturing everybody, like an old grandpa. It's never been effective--but he deludes himself that he's the stalwart America needs. The Senate should become a "no curmudgeon zone."
Chuck's such an old trout.
You know what would really make Schumer more effective. Electing enough Democrats as senators to make him Majority Leader. Till that happens, no Democratic Senator will be very effective. It's the misery of being in the minority.
Knew about that. But I thought he was decent not living in Lt Gov house and letting the pool be available for all children to use. The food and clothing he and his wife did. You do know people can and do change. I like to think they do for the better. But too many have proved me wrong. 😑
I remember that most democrats wanted Conor lanb and AOC came around talking a big game for Fetterman. Fetterman had multiple violent things making him unfit even back then.
She has now just apologized to Democrat Conor lamb who hopefully will try to win the seat back from Fetterman.
The last message I'm gonna receive before getting dragged to a camp is gonna be a fundraising plea from the dems talking about how concerned they are, I fucking swear.
Tone deaf. It is no longer about winning. It is about the preservation of our democracy at the hands of fascists & oligarchs or are very least feckless billionaires. If he can’t see that he needs to get out of the way
Seriously? We lost the White House, Senate and House only a few months ago. And nothing I have seen from the Dem leadership since then screams “winning.” Instead it screams feckless leadership rather than the warriors we need to fight and win. It’s time for a change at the top.
Chuck needs to step aside and go sit down. He's as effective as a water gun fighting a raging forest fire. He's done, the GOP is dog walking him, his bark has no bite, and all he does is give useless desert dry speaches.

For whom?
“Winning” like Donny Boy?
Retire effective immediately.
Wait this can’t be right. Oh no. In the replies they’re saying that Schumer is full of shit??? Oh no, we HAVE been losing haven’t we
" This is the most important election of our life
" We must defeat the other guy
Before him it was Biden who wanted to be president even when he’s 86 years old and in full dementia mode.
Let's say he "wins" the 2026 midterms, becomes Senate majority leader, just through the happy accident of being caucus leader at a moment when everyone is rejecting the GOP. How much will we all have lost in the meantime? What will even be left by November of 2026?

But as long as he keeps HIS job, the rest of the people can go straight to hell. Everything is just fine.
That's @schumer.senate.gov's idea of "winning".
Compromised assets need to stay useful however.
Oh wait, he’s serious? BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
THE PROBLEM
Voters will retire you in your next race, Schmuck.
Any English Beat fans here tonight?
I said i see no joy
I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow
So stand down Chucky
Stand down please🎶👍
Gosh, ya think maybe it might be a good time to try something different??
Ya know, like, *real* Democrats???
What a clown this guy is. He is focused on self enrichment, book tours, fundraising.... wine and dine!
He is why the Dems keep losing.
Just like they pushed Biden out.
NO 1. IS. SUPPRTING SCHUMER. !
THIS MAN IS NOT FOR DEMOCRACY!
THE DEMOCRATS, WILL LOSE VOTES DUE TO YOU. !
How did that work out for Biden?
Chuck's such an old trout.
2024 ring a bell, Chuck?
Chuck steak, we're winning!
Those thin sprigs of parsley won't hold us down for long 😂
or Mitch if they’re too old
but they always ask Dems 10 years plus younger 🤣
She has now just apologized to Democrat Conor lamb who hopefully will try to win the seat back from Fetterman.
Ya, I'm with you.
It's Dem Horseshit.
GET THE FK OUT, Chuck.
