Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints

    The deal was the Republicans got their eight votes from senators that aren’t up for election soon.

    And the proof that Schumer engineered it? Does he control every member of the party or not?

    That’s a lot of convenient assumptions that prevent you from having to examine your preconceived notions.
