Of course they should be. Ridicolous. If we can't primary Schumer, fair enough, can we just not have him as the Majority Leader?

No, but I don't expect the moron segment of the Democratic Party to be tolerate of some divergence on some issues. Progressives are like Tea Partiers - no thought necessary to spew ideological, dogmatic nonsense.

The side that is calling the President of the United States a terrorist for diplomacy is certainly not the one with intellectual, rational arguments.

Dear God, Progressives are as ideologically rigid as the Tea Party.

I'm not at all ideologically rigid, but I think there needs to be one party for sane foreign policy. I'm not okay with Democrats who really have no business undermining it doing so.

Schumer is the Democratic John McCain.

In all honesty, he shouldn't be "purged". Who replaces him? DeBlasio, the Democrat so extreme he's unelectable in New York? Cuomo, who is just as "corrupt" as Schumer? DiNapoli, who could lose to Christopher Cox?

Most of this post is garbage analysis.

In what alternate universe do you live?

Literally, you'd have to run a hard right-wing Republican as a Democrat in New York in order for a Democrat to lose a senate race.

I don't see why "primarying" should be considered some kind of cruel punishment reserved for the worst politicians ever. If the party's voters want someone other than the incumbent to be their nominee, they should be able to make that happen..

I find myself agreeing with your posts more and more. Yes, Voters should absolutely be more willing to seek out more and better alternatives. Bob Menendez, Chuck Schumer, and Ben Cardin are obviously not the best that state can do.
