The idea that he's supporting more centrist candidates I do think is like a new line of criticism or newer than some of the others.

But the rest go back to the shutdown and his ability to communicate.

And what I can tell is, according to people that have a problem with Chuck Schumer, would a different leader produce different outcomes or would a different leader be a better communicator about the same outcomes?

And I think the inability to like kind of clearly answer that question is why whatever

friction there is or desire for a new leader culminates in just people bitching in a signal group chat.

Yeah, I think it's like a no brainer.

We do not want to go into the most important presidential election since the last one with a leader that represents, we need to be representing change.

He will not represent change.

Ironically, though, I think it's Democratic Senate candidates in at least 13 states have either come out against Chuck Schumer or refused to endorse Schumer.

the more successful we are in these midterms, the more people that will be in the Senate that have either explicitly said they will not support him or even under pressure, knowing that they want Schumer's support, people like Tallrico, have refused to say they would endorse him.

Now, I think at a certain point, you want people that are willing to just say, no, I'm not gonna be for Chuck Schumer.

We need somebody different just because that's the kind of, like, I don't know, want people that are already worrying about how to kind of keep everybody on side.

But at the very least, he has a huge problem in success or failure.

Great hair.

Donald Trump.

I know, I know.

Not hot.

Not hot.

Look, I think there's a big space between someone between, say, a Hollywood 10 and a Delaware 86.

You know what I'm saying?
