At stake on Tuesday is nothing less than “the wellspring of democracy and everything that comes with it, ” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a recent interview. (Katherine Frey/The Washington Post)One July evening in 1980, Chuck Schumer went to see the Brooklyn Philharmonic play — and started a fight backstage. But he’s not that kind of fighter.”Which raises the question: What kind of fighter is Chuck Schumer? President-elect, I’m just driving past one of your golf courses now,” Schumer recalled telling Trump when he answered the phone. “It’s kind of a problem.”Or, as the Onion so bluntly put it: “Chuck Schumer Relieved He’s Never Taken Stance Meaningful Enough to Have Someone Mail Him Explosive.”In 2007, Schumer might have had the same criticisms about the job he’s doing now.
