Another Blow For Suckwad Schumer As Democrats Look To Reclaim Senate

[Perjury]

Booted aside for a noisy black nappy ho'. That smarted.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats are stinging from a trio of high-
profile failures to recruit candidates who could help reclaim
the majority, including Stacey Abrams’ announcement that she
would pass up a U.S. Senate run in Georgia.

That decision, announced Tuesday, was a blow to Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer. After Abrams gained fame from her
ultimately unsuccessful effort to become America’s first black
female governor last year, Schumer personally — and publicly —
urged her to consider challenging GOP Sen. David Perdue. In a
particularly notable move, he tapped her earlier this year to
deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s
State of the Union address.

Abrams follows former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and former
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper in spurning Senate Democratic
leaders’ entreaties to take on incumbent Republicans seen as
potentially vulnerable. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is likely to
follow suit in rejecting a Senate run as he weighs whether to
join O’Rourke and Hickenlooper on the 2020 presidential campaign
trail.

Also Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne said
the freshman would seek re-election next year for her southeast
Iowa House seat. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee,
Senate Democrats’ campaign organization, had tried persuading
Axne to run for U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Joni Ernst,
who will be seeking a second term.

The inability of Schumer and other Democrats to corral well-
known candidates underscores that many of the party’s biggest
players are betting they’ll have better futures outside Capitol
Hill, where action can be slow — especially in the minority.
It’s also a sign of how tough Democrats will find their fight to
regain control of the Senate next year, a steep climb that
sparked glee from Republicans, who hold a 53-47 majority in the
chamber.

“Today’s embarrassing recruitment failure is another devastating
blow to Chuck Schumer’s dream of a Democratic Senate,” said Jack
Pandol, communications director for the Senate Leadership Fund,
a group linked to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and
dedicated to boosting Republican candidates. “Now that top-tier
Democrats in nearly every competitive state have all said no to
Chuck Schumer, the picture is becoming clear: Democrats simply
do not believe in Schumer’s ability to lead them into the
majority.”

If a Democrat wins the White House next year, he or she will
need a Senate majority to push through the ambitious agendas
that have been pitched to voters. But to claw back power,
Democrats will have to take at least three seats from the GOP.

Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Susan Collins of Maine and
Martha McSally of Arizona are widely considered among the most
vulnerable Republican incumbents, and Democrats scored a
recruiting coup when retired astronaut-turned-gun control
advocate Mark Kelly launched a campaign against McSally.

But Gardner and Collins have both shown they can effectively
wield the advantage of incumbency and are seeking to keep their
distance from Trump as the president’s unpopularity becomes a
political albatross in their states. And even if Senate
Democrats defeat all three of their most obvious GOP targets in
2020, they will still struggle to help Sen. Doug Jones of
Alabama hold onto a seat that no one expected him to win in that
deep-red state two years ago.

That tricky math for Democrats would have proved easier to
navigate with well-known candidates such as Abrams, O’Rourke and
Hickenlooper forcing Republicans to play defense and spend money
in more states to protect their incumbents. But top Democrats
declared on Tuesday that they would have no trouble fielding
successful candidates next year, particularly amid Trump’s
persistently low approval ratings.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, who chairs Senate
Democrats’ 2020 campaign arm, lauded the “phenomenal” quality of
her party’s recruits and noted that “we have plenty of time” to
lock in candidates.

“Just because we don’t get somebody that you’re aware of doesn’t
mean we’re not going to find or have somebody that can beat
those Republican incumbents in a state on the kitchen-table
issues that matter to voters,” Cortez Masto told reporters.

Democrats point to three key factors in their worry-free
approach to 2020's Senate races: the still-early nature of the
race, Trump’s unpopularity and the GOP’s own failure to avoid
potentially messy primaries in Alabama and Kansas. Depending on
the course of the Democratic presidential primary, in fact,
O’Rourke, Hickenlooper and Bullock all could have time to
reconsider their reluctance to run for Senate before deadlines
pass to get on the ballot in their states.

As for Abrams, she remains a top-tier choice as a running mate
for any Democratic presidential candidate and has yet to firmly
state her own plans for the White House race. Schumer maintained
that he’s not concerned about Georgia, where Trump’s polarizing
record and Abrams’ close loss in last year’s gubernatorial race
have left Democrats hopeful for an upset.

“We’re going to win in Georgia,” Schumer told reporters. “And we
have lots of good candidates in many different states, including
Georgia.”

But Sen. Todd Young of Indiana, who runs Senate Republicans’
campaign arm for 2020, vowed to prove Schumer wrong.

“People are pretty happy with the direction, especially of our
economy but more generally of our country, and I think that
whomever David Perdue ultimately faces, he’s going to win on
account of that,” Young told The Associated Press.

steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders? How did Russia get Donna Brazile
to leak debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance of the debates?
