Chuck Schumer Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Thanks for watching my speech but you must have missed this line:

“Even more empty than his policy promises are President Trump’s calls each year for unity”

I see Schumer is already criticizing my State of the Union speech, even though he hasn’t seen it yet. He’s just upset that he didn’t win the Senate, after spending a fortune, like he thought he would. Too bad we weren’t given more credit for the Senate win by the media!

Will he do that sucky-face thing where he's trying to keep his dentures in? Will he slur his words?

I'd also love to see him completely lose it live on TV at the SOTU.
As to the Adderall--count the sniffles.

text of tweet:
you moronic dotard. With the Senate map the Republicans had, the GOP should have picked up 8-10-12 seats without a problem. But, the Trump albatross turned gold into shit and you picked up only 2 seats. #TrumpSucks

Everybody knew that it would be a freakin' miracle if Democrats picked up seats and got the Senate majority in 2018. The politics and math just weren't there.

Well, except chumpy. Chalk this one up as yet another "who knew?" from the only guy who didn't.

In a normal year with a "normal" Republican president (say Jeb Bush), it would likely have been a huge pickup opportunity for Republicans. I was saying even in early 2017 on here that if Democrats held even in the Senate, it should be considered a huge victory.

they only picked up a couple seats because republicans got clobbered even worse 6 years earlier when obama was being re-elected.

it's not a "win" when you only win 1/3rd of the seats available.

In 2014, Republicans had a great map and picked up 9 seats.

In 2018, they had a better map and picked up only 2
