If Chuck Schumer votes for cloture tomorrow, it’s proof that he’s weak and is a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership. Polling shows that only 22% of independents would blame Democrats for a shutdown, while 56% would blame the GOP or Trump. Americans want Democrats to FIGHT, not CAVE!!!
