The Senate Democratic leader said Trump’s decision to accept a meeting shows Republicans “feel the heat.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Congress can prevent a government shutdown when money expires this week, but only if Republicans engage in a “serious negotiation.”
In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker that he called Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Friday to encourage a meeting, which the White House accepted on Saturday evening.
Schumer said reaching a deal “depends on the Republicans.”
We NEED a Serious Negotiation! And if we DONT get it we’ll SIGN their Budget ANYWAYS!
-Chuck Schumer!
As long as Americans are loyal to Israel, he’s doing his job according to him… So I guess even he thinks he’s a failure.
Schumer is a traitor. You do NOT negotiate with terrorists. You make demands, if they don’t comply, you shut it down.
Shut it down, Schumer. Shut it all down. Call for a general strike and don’t capitulate until all demands are met. This is your move to fuck up, and we will not forget if you do.
Lol the day Schumer calls for a general strike I’ll donate all my existing money to his campaign.
Read: never
He is making noises of placation. Truly the Chamberlain of our times…
Is that Mussolini next to Hitler in the top one? Well whoever they are they look like when your friend has to bring you lunch at work and look completely lost.
He Chuck… try this line on for size: We don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Just resign already for fuck sake
Who keeps voting for this clown?! His constituents keep disappointing me like Ted Cruz’s.
Primary this fucking fossil. Assuming there’s another election.
Shut up old man, get out of the way!!!
And here we go, once again into the breach of defeat and capitulation.
Absolutely spinless and worthless Democratic leadership fit for nothing.
Real democrats don’t negotiate with Nazis.
I mean… *gestures broadly at everything*
There goes my healthcare
A serious negotiation with people who want to destroy the country.
How many times do the Democrats need to steal defeat out of the jaws of victory for it to form a clear composite image of collaboration?
If he caves the Dems need to call to replace him. Absolutely failed as a leader here.
I agree, but that’s just not the way Dems work.
We need Schumer to be primaried
