I do not know Mr. Schumer nor have I ever met him. I neither like nor
dislike Mr. Schumer or the Democratic Party. I am sure that there are
Democrats out there that a fine people. I do not know what a corporate
democrat is nor can I define such a person or business.
I do know that in order to accomplish an objective money is required and
I opine that the funds needed cannot be obtained by taxation. I also
know that some portion of our population is unable to functionally work
and provide funds for their upkeep. I seek to find a form of capitalism
that will provide the funds and at the same time provide help for those
who are unable to provide for themselves.

Dick, That's only because you don't like either. But I don't think that all
of the Democratic party are worthy of contempt, only the corporate
Democrats. I want to support the progressive wing of the party. That's why
I'm opposed to Schumer. He is like an old fashioned Republican. Old
fashioned Republicans cared about business interests, but not about everyday
people like my family and me. My father was a factory worker.

I voice an opinion to the effect that the election of Charles Schumer to the
Minority Leader of the Minority Democrat Party in the Senate are truly
worthy of each other.

Chuck Schumer: The Worst Possible Democratic Leader at the Worst
Possible Time By Jon Schwarz, The Intercept
18 November 16
When Barack Obama leaves the White House, New York Sen. Chuck
Schumer will almost certainly be elected Senate minority leader - and
therefore become the highest ranking Democratic official in America.
That's a terrible roll of the dice for Democrats, because Schumer
might as well have been grown in a lab to be exactly the wrong face
for opposition to Donald Trump:
. Schumer, who's just about to turn 66, grew up in Brooklyn and went
to the same high school as Bernie Sanders. Then their lives diverged:
Schumer, the smartiest of the smartypants, got a perfect score on the
SATs and then went to Harvard and Harvard Law School. He was elected
to the New York State Assembly at 23, the U.S. Congress at 29, and the
U.S. Senate at 47. He's never had any adult job outside elected office.
. He possesses the same impressive political acumen as Hillary
Clinton's 2016 campaign, sagely explaining "For every blue-collar
Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate
Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in
Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin."
. Schumer's done more than anyone except Bill and Hillary Clinton to
intertwine Wall Street and the Democratic Party. He raises millions
and millions of dollars from the finance industry, both for himself
and for other Democrats. In return, he voted to repeal the
Glass-Steagall Act in
1999 and voted to bail out Wall Street in 2008. In between, he slashed
fees paid by banks to the Securities and Exchange Commission to pay
for regulatory enforcement, and eviscerated congressional efforts to
crack down on rating agencies.
. Schumer has long been the Democrats' point man in efforts to craft a
bipartisan deal to slash taxes on multinational corporations.
. Schumer voted for the Patriot Act in 2001, and sponsored its
predecessor, the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. During a Senate
hearing, Schumer explained that "it's easy to sit back in the armchair
and say that torture can never be used. But when you're in the
foxhole, it's a very different deal." In certain cases, he said, "most
senators" would say "do what you have to do." Schumer also defended
the New York Police Department's surveillance of Muslims across the
region, which Trump has cited as a national model.
. In October 2002, Schumer voted for the Iraq War by giving George W.
Bush authority to invade. In a speech explaining his vote, Schumer
warned of Iraq's imaginary yet "vigorous pursuit of biological,
chemical and nuclear weapons."
. Schumer voted against Barack Obama's deal to limit Iran's ability to
enrich uranium and potentially develop a nuclear weapons program.
. Perhaps worst of all, Schumer gave Anthony Weiner his start, first
hiring him on his staff, then encouraging him to run for office and
then endorsing Weiner in the race for Schumer's seat when Schumer was
running for the Senate in 1998. Thanks, Chuck.
Are there any positive things about Chuck Schumer? Well . he did vote
against NAFTA in 1993, and while he's supported other trade deals
since, he made negative noises about the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Also, he's a talented matchmaker with as many as 11 marriages to his
