I don't always agree with Schumer but he is a very smart man who has never lost an election. Whether he can do much with a majority Republican congress is another story.

Its totally unacceptable to kill huge numbers of desperate people simply in order to line the pockets of big insurance and big pharma.
Obamacare is great and saves poor people lives

His election in NY is hardly competitive.

He beat D'Amato, a Republican going for his fourth term, in 1998 for the Senate seat. Always tough to beat an incumbent. He's been in office since he was 24, after getting his JD from Harvard.

Are you an expert in NY politics as well?

The topic is not about WaldoKitty. You don't win argument by trying to make it personal.

Obamacare is a band aid on a massive wound. Even though Obamacare makes sure pre-existing conditions are now covered and help millions of people, its still a huge gift to the donor class (big pharma and big insurance) and far from what is truly needed, which is a Medicare-for-all single payer system where Trump supporters can find some peace of mind and get the healthcare they need, whether mental or physical, regardless of how much money they have. The rich should not decide who lives or dies. Thats just crazy.

He`s our version of Kim Jung Un. They both have silly hair, play golf, think that nuclear weapons are cool and consistently lie to the highest degree.
