Schumer used the excuse, that was obviously specious, that if the CR didn't pass Trump would do some bad things. Fact is that Trump has and will do bad things regardless of the CR. Schumer was obviously warned off, intimiated, scared, because the day before he said that he wasn't going to vote for cloture, he voted against the CR but that was performance, of no effect.

As to dividing the democrats, that happened in the House where to a person they voted against the CR and after Chuck voted for cloture, Hakeem Jefferies and AOC arose in one voice and denounced him, two people on the oppposite side of the ideological aisle.

The yellow dog Democrat was a term used in 1928, but the two parties were still American, not bifurcated between a hostile foreign power (Russia and Musk) and loyal Americans.

This is not the 1920's, 1930's, 40's,.50's, 60's, 70's 80's . 90's or even the 2000's, and2010's, it is not politics as usual, the heart, soul and liberty itself is on the line, and anyone who tips even a toe over the line, is faciliating the end of not only Democracy, but Liberty.

And Chuck did just that, he joined the forces of evil and Trump even publicly thanked him.
