Yep Schumer screwed up badly in retrospect, by doing the filibuster fight over the Gorsuch nomination.
If the filibuster rule was still there, they might actually have some leverage here.

Between Collins, Murkowski, Flake, Corker, McCain etc he may not need any leverage.

It wasn’t even retrospect -— a ton of editorials were screaming at him about this exact scenario. Kind of like how Reid was told point-blank he would regret removing the filibuster for cabinet posts.
They all thought Queen Hillary would be ruling now.
