"For every blue-collar Democrat we will lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up 2-3 moderate Republicans in the suburbs of Philadelphia. And you can repeat that in Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin." Chuck Schumer in 2016

In your wildest dreams can you imagine a Mitch McConnell say something like that? Hey we need to embrace policies that protect minorities, and also let's run on national healthcare. Don't worry, for every Republican we lose in the suburbs, we'll pick up Democrats in urban areas.

UN fucking BELIEVABLE
