Sometimes you just know when to leave. Sometimes you know that you have worn out your welcome, and you should have left when the getting was good. When you’re too stupid to recognize either, then there is only one exit left, and that is the one where you get the boot. That’s where Chuck Schumer is.
Schumer didn’t cave to the republicans, he caved to the far left and if smart people have learned anything about the far left, there is no satisfying them. Schumer gave them exactly what they demanded, and he stood with the left, he voted no for opening the government every time. That brings us to the other thing that smart people have long learned about the left, they are always on the wrong side of every cause. Schumer knew closing the government was a losing cause, but he caved to the far left, and he did it anyway. A third thing smart people have learned about the far left is they never take responsibility for anything they do; they always blame losing on someone else. In this case, Schumer is to blame. The fact that this shut down was doomed to end the way that it did regardless of who else might have been in Schumers position doesn’t matter. Someone has got to pay the for the loss, and because they can’t make President Trump pay, it’s Schumer.
With all the calls for Schumer to fall on his sword no one on the left has thrown out a name for a replacement. In addition, no one has volunteered to take his place.
The only thing smarter than knowing when to leave is knowing not to go there in the first place.
Whoever does replace Schumer is doomed.
