Summary
Jon Stewart slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a GOP funding bill after initially opposing it.
On The Daily Show, Stewart mocked Schumer for surrendering leverage without gaining anything in return, joking that he “got some cheese.”
He criticized Schumer’s strategy of waiting for Trump’s popularity to drop, calling it delusional.
Stewart argued Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise. He warned their approval rating is dangerously low, making their approach politically ineffective and out of touch.
It’s almost like they’d rather continue to talk to consultants than their own constituents post-Hilary and when your ideas are only to position yourself against the other guy, well you don’t have very many ideas at all. At least you still get to feel morally superior and continue building your own careerist resume. Democratic leadership don’t care about anyone but themselves and it shows. These people don’t work for you.
