What is the final verdict on Schumer's fast track approval of conservative judges?

Is this something that he plans to continue? Unless we understand why he did it, it's hard to gauge his effectiveness.

1. It was inevitable that they'd be approved. On balance, it was to our advantage...

... to accept defeat and allow folks to go home to campaign and defend their seats. That's my understanding.

2. Considering that it appears that we had a blue wave, afterall. Maybe not a bad strategy.

3. It was so the Dem Senators could get home to campaign!!

And since we lost seats in the Senate.....well you decide whether it was effective or not.

I'm sure to some, this is a sign of Schumer's brilliant strategy as a leader and anyone who says otherwise must be a Russian troll or Trump lover or whatever else.

Personally for all the grief Pelosi gets, I think Schumer is a much less effective leader.

5. What do you think the result would have been if, instead of campaigning, they stayed and fought?

Would they have stopped any of the judges from being confirmed?

6. We had to defend 25 seats and we lost 3, maybe 4. Depends how Florida turns out.

Repubs did worse. They had 8 seats to defend and lost 1, maybe 2. Depends on how it goes in Arizona.

4. we don't control the senate
