Schumer is Crabgrass - wanting to spread his ugliness and coarse nature over the entire lawn of the Democratic Party.
Oppose it. He is an empty suit, full of himself. Crabgrass in an expensive tailored suit. Probably wearing a Trump tie. He should take his entire corrupt DSCC and . . .
_____________UPDATE______________
A reminder to grassroot Democrats having a Senate candidate they respect and want elected:
Stiff these trolls. Give to individual candidate's campaign. Especially in states with primary contests - one Dem can be really better than another, and these people choose somebody else.
Be smart, not sheep. Stiff these DSCC Wall Street loving fat-cat serving creeps.

Committee To Elect Democrats To The US Senate Is At Odds With Most Of The Colorado Dems Who Want To Be In The Senate
By Bente Birkeland and Caitlyn Kim -- September 5, 2019
[...] Hickenlooper's White House bid never gained traction and he only decided to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner after months of wooing by national party figures, like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. They apparently overcame Hickenlooper’s own, oft-repeated, assertion that he wasn’t interested in, or cut out for, the Senate.
“There are a number of people I talked to, but it wasn't any one thing for me,” Hickenlooper said about his change of heart. “It was really a function of, how do you make a difference, right? And all this time I've been... not giving credit to the possibility that Washington can change.”
Almost immediately after Hickenlooper declared his candidacy, the messages of support started to pour in from former rivals in the presidential field: California Sen. Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg among them.
But it was the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s swift endorsement that has Hickenlooper’s primary opponents up in arms.
The DSCC endorsement unlocks fundraising and strategic help for Hickenlooper. And there are allegations the committee is actively working against at least one of his opponents.
[links in original omitted] "... how do you make a differnece ..." is by swinging on Schumer's Tarzan tree vine. As expected. As directed. An innovative approach, getting the DSCC inner party endorsement, to make a difference.
The Intercept, "Progressive Candidates Are Carving a Path to the Senate in 2020 — No Thanks to Chuck Schumer, by: Ryan Grim, Akela Lacy, Aída Chávez -- August 15 2019, 6:41 p.m." stating mid-item:
In North Carolina, state Sen. Erica Smith, a former Boeing engineer, high school math and science teacher, and ordained minister from Fayetteville, would be the first black senator to represent the state. Her platform highlights gun control and access to health care. She’s made climate change and the environment a top priority in her campaign. She supports an assault weapons ban and universal background checks, as well as expanding Medicaid. While she’s proposing progressive reforms to the criminal justice system, and opposes the death penalty as it’s historically been applied, she told The Intercept that “because of escalating instances of domestic terrorism,” capital punishment should be “included in the conversation” when it comes to mass shooters.
The DSCC has not yet endorsed in the 2020 primary, but there is speculation that it may support Cal Cunningham, an attorney, veteran, former state senator — and previous DSCC pick. Cunningham has raised a significant chunk of his $521,757 from donors linked to Schumer. He’s contributed an additional $200,000 of his own money to one of his campaign committees. (Trevor Fuller, a former commissioner for Mecklenburg County, and Eva Lee, a tax attorney from Raleigh, also announced their candidacies early.)
Cunningham, who lost a primary for Senate in 2010, is distinguished by having no distinguishing politics, precisely the type of candidate Washington consultants like to build assembly-line ads around. (You know the kind: two-minute biographical portraits with lots of aerial shots that decry “corruption,” followed by ads with the family in the driveway talking about their state’s values.) Though he has recently strengthened his position on guns, he received an “A” from the National Rifle Association in 2000, and as a state senator in 2002, he voted with 26 other Democrats in support of an NRA-backed bill that made it harder for local governments to sue firearms manufacturers.
A June poll by Emerson College showed Smith, who is currently serving her third term in the state Senate, leading incumbent Thom Tillis by 7 points, with 15 percent of voters undecided. She’s currently running her campaign with only about $25,000 cash on hand. She’s raised about $85,460 in individual contributions. She’s met with the DSCC twice and had several conference calls with the committee since early February, she said, along with three meetings with Emily’s List. She also met with Schumer in June during her vetting process. Talk of the committee leaning toward Cunningham, given his swift endorsement from several Democratic officials in the state, Smith believes, is “rumor … by some members of the establishment who have a preference for a particular candidate,” Smith said. “I’m not gonna take that away from my opponent that he ran in 2010 with the DSCC endorsement, but he did not win. And he’s not held office in 17 years.”

L.A.Times:
Romanoff, who backs “Medicare for all” and aggressively combating climate change, said at least five political vendors that had expressed interest in working with him later told his campaign that officials at the DSCC, which helps recruit and finance Democratic candidates, said the vendors would get no other business from the committee if they worked for Romanoff’s campaign.
A political consultant at one of those firms confirmed the account but refused to be named for fear of retribution, saying that the firm was told by an intermediary for Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) that “under no circumstances were we to work with Andrew Romanoff.” If it did, the firm would get no more DSCC-related business, including lucrative referrals to work on other campaigns or to put together outside political advertisements. Romanoff’s account was first published Thursday by the Intercept, a left-leaning online publication. Since then, Romanoff said he’s received offers from several firms offering to help his campaign, including one that he said wants to “get banned by Schumer.”
Schumer’s office referred questions to the DSCC.
DSCC spokeswoman Lauren Passalacqua said the committee has no policy that forbids vendors from working with Democratic candidates that it does not support.
But she added: “In our role as a campaign committee focused on winning Senate seats, we have ongoing conversations with strategists and advisors about battleground races.”

Or from Schumer?
