There will not be a second Chuck Schumer: whoever gets selected will be his or her own self, with their own strengths and weaknesses. But that person will be the choice of their party, and have the help of those there – including Schumer himself to help, if he is even a fraction of the citizen you think he is.
You elided past all the rest of what I wrote, so I came to the point: there are others who can do the job. I can’t name them, because it has to be someone the Senate likes personally and can get the votes, as well as who knows the Senate and the senators: all of this is something a noob can’t do. But even LBJ had to start somewhere.
My guess is that you are getting caught in the details as you write, but what you may not realize is that you are coming across as incredibly insulting. Those of us downvoting you are neither ignorant nor blind, for myself I’m probably three times older than you (at minimum), and it doesn’t take much to understand the basics of what a Senate Majority Leader does. But you don’t credit anyone else with even that much.
TL;DR: Better a lesser politician with full allegiance to his own country and people, than the best political operative with an allegiance to billionaires and Israel.
Wow, wtf? That was beyond
No. It really wasn’t.

Meanwhile, a Senate Majority Leader can block as much legislation as he allows, and Schumer has done so in favor of Israel.
