Who is dying? Typical Trump supporters, rural whites, as the whirlwind of decades of assaults against the working class by the donor class is taking its toll. Alcoholism, drug overdoses, suicides are all reaching epidemic levels among rural white males. Thats what's always happens when societies move more towards Mad Max social darwinism. Crushed unions, anti-worker trade deals, erosion of the minimum wage, only country with no national health care system, weakening of anti-trust legislation allowing monopolies to crush competition and rip off Joe Sixpacks, deregulation of Wall Street, bailouts, perpetual warmongering in the Middle East instead of support and retraining for workers affected by anti-worker trade deals etc etc etc, the list of donor class attacks on rural America and salt of the earth Americans are endless.
Why is it ya liberals always leave out lax immigration policies?
Ya might actually get the white working man's vote back if ya addressed that.

Trump and McConnell will dance circles around him.
I dont know if you meant to work it that way, but a policy wonk is by definition someone who cares about doing the right thing rather than the nuances of politics.
In short, Schumer being a policy wonk is a good thing.

LMFAO ROTF, did you really just blame Obamacare for that ????

For the first time in more than two decades, life expectancy for Americans declined last year — a troubling development linked to a panoply of worsening health problems in the United States.
Rising fatalities from heart disease and stroke, diabetes, drug overdoses, accidents and other conditions caused the lower life expectancy revealed in a report released Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. In all, death rates rose for eight of the top 10 leading causes of death.
Trump is responsible for the millions who are disabled or sick and who got insurance as a result of the elimination of pre-existing conditions and lifetime spending caps on care. Now we must all hold his feet to the fire so that he sees the light.
Its totally unacceptable to kill huge numbers of desperate people simply in order to line the pockets of big insurance and big pharma.
Well kill 'em all. Then make pet food out of them!
Leftists are such drama queens.
Trump can sure dish it out but he can't take it can he. Trump takes offense at everything and let's it be known on Twitter lol In all honesty, I think it's pretty disgraceful and disrespectful that any president elect would resort to name calling. It's childish but of course that is who Trump is. So instead of talking about Schumer taking offense, how about we talk about the many, many times Trump took offense. The list is probably too long to post.
Hopee Changee doesn't Trump Republican obstructionists in Congress blocking anything he tried to do for the last 6 years.
Actually, it was the other way around.
Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wouldn't allow any Republican House bills to be brought to the floor of the Senate.
He completely shut down the legislative process.
You know, that process where the House passes a bill, it goes to the Senate which develops its own version, and then the two bills go to a joint House-Senate conference committee for reconciliation before the final version is voted on by both chambers.

It is if you are connected to reality, which Schumer isn't.
His New York constituency is not even remotely representative of America as a whole.
He's another Jewish New York liberal Ivy League lawyer type who's never gotten his hands dirty in his life.

Schumer is a clown -- first promising to work with Trump and then saying he will obstruct him unless he turns into a liberal Democrat like Schumer.
