@ASFried @TheJohnsonPost Twitter isn't made to order for a protracted discussion. But, simply, I believe that a 3-minute clip of Herrera Beutler telling the Kevin McCarthy story would reach tens of millions who weren't watching the trial on TV. The stipulation is half forgotten already by MSNBC viewers. — PolitiTweet.org

Don't under-estimate how hard it is to manage the majority in a 50-50 Senate. A major asset that Schumer has is that he is roughly in the middle of the Senate Democratic caucus. Toughness without the votes is just posturing for true believers on MSNBC. — PolitiTweet.org
