Plenty of Dems have the sads over Betsy DeVos’ confirmation as education secretary, but perhaps no Dem has a bigger sad than Chuck Schumer. He’s really taking this news hard:
Today @VP Mike Pence did something no one else has ever done: cast the tie breaking vote on his own cabinet nominee. #RiggedCabinet
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 7, 2017
That’s definitely not ridiculous or anything.
First of all:
Actually, it's not his cabinet. https://t.co/5UvKMqWUcz

No, it most definitely is not. And second of all:

No, that's not a thing https://t.co/SQERzELY4G

It’s actually pretty impressive that Schumer’s managed to have such a long career in U.S. politics considering that he evidently has no idea how our political system works.
This is the weirdest line to take. These are the long-standing Senate rules. A far cry from "rigged" https://t.co/IBVTUoeQfI

Unless, of course, "rigged" now means "a thing I don't like"

That’s basically what it means, yeah.

Wait….how is it rigged? Because the VP voted for the person he wanted? That's fascinating logic. https://t.co/zcLZPWu2Wh

How is following the Constitution in breaking a tie rigged, Mr. Leader?

So Pence should have approved someone he DIDN'T approve of? Is that what you're saying?
Dude. Don't open your mouth if it's raining. #Drown https://t.co/GzUCS19qQ0

It's kind of how the system works. The only thing 'rigged' are your talking points. And your party. Delete your account.

Poor Chuck. He’s gonna need a big-ass hankie to dry all these tears.

Right? No kidding!
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done.

Harry Reid getting rid of the filibuster is the gift that just keeps on giving https://t.co/5DRexTxiLp
