Honestly wasn’t prepared for how lost and out of his depth Chuck Schumer is this interview. Doesn’t seem like he’s absorbed any new information since 2007. I don’t know who Senate Democrats’ best option is, but hard for me to imagine it’s this.

WATCH: Schumer says "our democracy will be at stake" if Trump disobeys the Supreme Court—but "we're not there yet."

the people: ok but as a person that includes you, you need to rise up
schumer: no it does not
the people: *expletive deleted*
schumer: have you seen my new book
His damage control interviews aren’t going very well for him.

We have former ally militaries moving into strategic positions to protect Canada but Schumer thinks Republicans will suddenly have a change of heart after seizing total power, in a country with alarmingly low civic literacy.
And we elected him again. wtf is Chuck talking about
Wait for the people to rise up, and then we'll join them.
transcript from a portion of the interview
Cannot believe he erased the Assize of Clarendon
Protected habeas corpus
Fifty years before Magna Carta
Shame on Schumer!
Not hyperbole
The best SOLUTION, though, is term limits.
Schumer is the Democrat party now
Did you see the collusion in the Senate?
They all follow him like lemmings
No opposition party
Better, back a primary challenger to Durbin who promises to fight to replace Schumer ? Doesn't seem like it would be hard to pull off.
His argument is that if Trump wholly destroys democracy and the rule of law, then people should take to the streets and US senators will follow.
Of course, it is better to fight authoritarian rule early. It only gets harder as the leader accrues power.
He would have been better off doing his book tour even with throngs of protesters.
He just looks… flaccid.
It’s painful to watch.

Adam Schiff (Trump would love that 🤪)
Any other suggestions?
Hold up nominations, filibuster, saturate media, social media, town halls loudly shouting how damaging the GOP actions are.
Weak. Pathetic. Feeble. Infuriating🤬
and too many yes votes on Trump's nominees. Murphy is doing good social media now, but he has been cringey in the past. I like Warren but I don't know if there is any Dem in the Senate who could play hardball like McConnell.
Minority leader needs to watch the recent interviews. The View was awful as well.
Can’t take Schumer seriously until he changes eyeglasses position.
And holy glasses Batman how are you caught off guard by Schumer? He doesn’t know from depth. Only stationary bikes and the shorts
And she's been showing spine the whole time.
You were three on January 6, @schumer.senate.gov, for crying out loud!
Schumer has to go.

Time for new Dem leadership.
#NoCowards #NoAppeasement
and he got his way; the entire Dem message on immigration throughout 2024 was virtually identical to what trump was spewing back in 2015
We have some serious cowardice and denial going on. They are all waiting for US, the people, to risk arrest, our jobs, our families safety, to RISE UP and revolt. With what? pitchforks?after they squeezed millions of dollars from donors, 3 bucks at a time to elect them.
Too set in his ways, he’s obviously unable to fully grasp what’s happening and institutionally incapable of rising to this challenge.
Step down.
