Schumer Rips Hillary: Don’t Blame Comey or Russia, ‘Blame Yourself’
The Daily Beast ^ | July 23, 2017 | The Washington Post

Posted on 07/23/2017 2:19:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ripped his former colleague, Hillary Clinton, over her election loss to President Donald Trump and her subsequent efforts to explain why she lost. “When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you don’t blame other things—Comey, Russia—you blame yourself,” Schumer told The Washington Post. “So what did we do wrong? People didn’t know what we stood for, just that we were against Trump. And still believe that.” Schumer’s comments—referring to Clinton blaming Russian meddling and the former FBI director for her loss to Trump—come as Democrats are trying to re-brand ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Democrats unveiled their new slogan as, “A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future.”

This is the first hard-evidence that the Democrat party is rejecting Hillary as the 2020 candidate.

Democrats are NOT just “against Trump”!

They’re for Muslim invasion, Mexican invasion, exotic diseases, murder, rape, and killing babies.

They just need to get their message out.

Chuckie's focus groups and focus groups ran by the DNC are showing the Russia/Russia BS isn't doing well with the independent and even quasi Republicans.

“Better” is such a weak word. The first thing people ask is “How much better?”

Remember those old ads, where three models would be shown—”Good—Better—Best”?

“Better” always means “not the best.”

SHOO-mah is 66 years old and wants a shot at being Majority Leader. He is part of the Gang of Eight that receives top classified info and assessments. He is no doubt kept in the loop by Mueller’s Dem lawyers about what they haven’t found. And absolutely Chuckie reads REAL, non-public polling.

Here’s a WaPa story with an interesting quote:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-had-the-art-of-the-deal-now-democrats-say-their-economic-agenda-is-a-better-deal/2017/07/22/c1f54b8c-6d56-11e7-9c15-177740635e83_story.html

...During conversations with voters back home, “not one has brought up Russia to me, not one has brought up impeachment,” said [Democrat Cheri] Bustos, who represents a northwestern Illinois district that voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

“We have to figure out this heartland messaging if we’re going to get to 218 members of Congress by 2018.”...

Hiya Laz! Look for Chuckie to make a run in 20/20. The guy is an absolute weasel. No offense to weasels. This guy is a dyed-in-the-wool NYC liberal. One step from a total Commie rat. He's an old story out here in the NJ/NY area and it's all bad. How you been dude?

Probably, zero real Trump voters are screaming for the removal of Jeff Sessions and any other bs concern like Trump Tweets too much as posted 24/7 by the concerned ones.
