Who has it worse than Chuck these days?
he KNOWS he's gonna come off like a dumb ass and yet he HAS to do this crap.
To whom? Certainly not his base; which is who he is talking to. He lives in that exclusive bubble, and believes everyone thinks the way he thinks. I really struggle with understanding this level of denial of Schumer's (and other anti-Trumpers') hypocrisy. How can any rational person look at what Schumer is doing and not see his hypocrisy? Hatred drives their thinking and 'logic'.
Actually, you got me thinking. At his age, at this point, Chuck is just a performer doing a role. That's not so bad.
Really? You think so? There is a coordinated effort by democrats to find any way to justify impeaching Trump. They don't care if these efforts are rooted in lies or fabricated crap (like this Russian collusion nonsense). It's one thing to perform a role for the purpose of emotionally reaching people; it's another to do this with the purpose of taking down a duly-elected, sitting president under specious, or completely false grounds. These people talk about Trump being dangerous for our democracy, while doing things that are dangerous for our democracy.

I don't buy that he HAS to do it. THAT is what people hate about politics. Shouldn't the election of Trump tell him it is time to change tactics and maybe think about the people, the country, his state, etc., far more important than thinking about politics?
What are we talking about here? I thought we were talking about how tough I thought it was on Chuck, personally, to have to go out and say a bunch of crap he knows is ridiculous. You're saying you think Chuck is sincere? That he, personally, thinks it is a good idea to impeach Trump over the absolute lack of any evidence of wrong doing, let alone high crimes and misdemeanors? Things, if the worst of what is alleged is true, are not illegal for a citizen? I mean, we're talking about making what one does BEFORE even becoming an elected servant of the people a crime.
I think Chuck is playing his role.
He absolutely is playing his role; and that is using any tactic he deems necessary to take the president down, .
If Chuck Schumer had THE vote to get rid of Trump he would NOT do it.
