THE WHITE HOUSE CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHUCK SCHUMER PICKS UP STEAM: WILL SCHUMER HOLD FIRM?

Possibly — isn’t all just “failure theater” anyhow? But at least, as Fred Fleitz writes at Iran Truth, “The reason the Schumer defection matters is because it puts the lie to the Obama administration’s shameful claim that opponents of the Iran deal are partisan extremists who want war with Iran. Schumer’s announcement is a powerful indication that opposition to this terrible agreement is in fact principled and bipartisan.”

Which is why, as with Joe Lieberman a decade ago, Schumer is in the left’s crosshairs.
