He is making a fool of himself by blocking everything the Democrats need to do to finish the impeachment. I don't think he's scared of Schumer, but Pelosi keeps all these characters at bay and they don't know how to handle her. McConnell is "brave" when he's at the podium, but he's the typical bully...wimps out when confronted in person. If anyone can confront him, it's Pelosi. Go, girl!

These people know what is expected of them.

have signaled that they are on board, who else would break with Moscow Mitch. Maybe, Mittens, but probably not, he's really good at talking about things and then doing as he's told.
