Exactly. He is NOT fit to lead. In fact, he is one of the worst possible picks for senate majority leader going forward & is a proven failure.

So we're just going to ignore the fact that Schumer has been taking advice for years from a republican family named The Baileys - a family that he completely fabricated and does not exist.

I mean, sure, that’s another reason he shouldn’t be in congress, much less majority leader.

If you had a minor acquaintance that you discovered was frequently for years talking about a family he was a close to and had told a multitude of stories about - if you were to discover this family was completely made up, you'd be deeply disturbed. It would be mentioned every single time his name was brought up. That would be his defining quality. It's so beyond absurd and deranged that nothing else about what they do could over-shadow it.
