Red State Democrat senators, in danger of losing their seat, have a message for Chuck Schumer. The Free Beacon reports:
Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that he will fight President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee “with everything I’ve got,” but centrist Democrats are now saying that the Senate minority leader cannot tell them what to do or how to vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.
While Schumer (D., N.Y.) is facing pressure from the left to keep all 49 Senate Democrats in tow to kill Kavanaugh’s nomination, he has several members from red and purple states facing uphill reelection battles this year who do not seem eager just to fall in line, Politico reportedFriday.
“I’ll be 71 years old in August, you’re going to whip me? Kiss my you know what,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) told Politico when asked if Schumer can influence his vote.
Manchin is not the only Democratic senator to hold that view. Sens. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), and Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) also pushed back against Schumer’s efforts to pressure them, saying they will not be influenced by Schumer or pressured to vote in favor of his position.
These Senators are caught between a rock and a hard place – either support Trump and give him his SCOTUS nominee, or oppose him and risk losing their election.
The Democrats have only one plan and that plan covers everything and anything that President Trump, is doing, wants to do or is thinking about doing and that plan is Obstruction. They don’t know how to fix any of the problems just obstruct whatever it is the the President want to do.
the people are their boss, chuck just thinks he is
Manchin is on shaky ground and it’s getting shakier in West Virginia. His gun control proposal under Obama, his wife getting Epipen in schools and his daughter raising the price of Epipen are being used against him. He is in a very tough position and may be defeated in November.
If those Demoncrap Senators are smart, they will vote to confirm. Schumer is not their boss and he’s a total joke.
Amen to that! Their bosses are the voters if their respective states.
Schumer is just following the democrat communist parties “resist” agenda. Instead of the fake and delusional “blue wave” the commies were touting right after the inauguration it seems more and more like a “red wave” is more likely. My state has a very liberal senator who is on the verge of being defeated. Her campaign ads are so ridiculous concerning her past history nothing can help her except vote fraud..
