Chuck Schumer has gone to great lengths to claim the Democrats recruited the highest-quality, most qualified people, which is why they had such success on Tuesday flipping the House and Senate. It is clear that in this political climate, anyone with a D after their name was a shoe-in. A Dixie cup could have won in some of these states where TDS was rampant.

Chuck Schumer: “ We recruited the best candidates. We found candidates who fit their state. Every one of them was actually motivated by patriotism, every single one.”

These comments were made at the same time that Democratic pundits were laughing at a social media post: “We are digging up Charlie Kirk, and do it again.” What can you say about this? Disgusting and vile are not enough. The ageless James Carville said that the goal of every Democratic candidate was to embarrass Donald Trump and make him suffer in anguish and pain. These are deplorable human beings, but we knew that. We just did not know how low these Cretans can go.

Let’s look at a few examples of the quality people that Chuck is so proud of.

• Ericka Lomick suspended her campaign in September after her past felony convictions for mortgage and bank fraud, along with conspiracy to commit money laundering. Her suspension was too late to be taken off the ballot, and she won.
• Anthony Ealy was arrested just hours after winning his race in Missouri for assault and disturbing the peace.
• Lakesha Womack was elected in spite of her felony auto theft conviction. Not a problem in North Carolina.
• Phantom candidate Dan Sullivan was recruited by Democrats because he had the same name as the incumbent, and it would confuse voters. It worked and led to Mary Peltola winning. Is it winning when you cheat?
• James Talarico, who made claims about God’s gender and that there are six genders, is a real quality individual. He is now Senator Talarico.
• How about Troy Jackson, who should not have been on the ballot after losing a primary bid for Governor, but was an emergency fill-in for Graham Platner. Apparently, a person who assaults women is a quality candidate by Democratic rules.
• We have already said enough about El Sayed, who falsely claimed to be a doctor, but misrepresentation is not a problem for voters in Michigan.
• Let’s not forget Peggy Flanagan, who, as Lt. Governor, filled in for Tim Walz and ignored the largest government fraud in history, so let’s reward her and make her a Senator.

Maybe Hassan Piker is making too much money as a liberal influencer to entertain an offer from Chuck, so the Democrats just made him a kingmaker.

We can only hope that the radicals are effective in keeping Chuck from the leadership role so we do not have to look at him, with his glasses at the tip of his nose, spewing lies for the next two years.

Author’s Note: Graphics created by Grok AI. Grok’s comments about the images: This landscape captures the polished theater of Chuck Schumer’s post-midterm boasts. Under bright, rim-lit marble and flags, the figure with glasses sliding down his nose presents a lineup of “patriotic” winners—yet the handcuffs, folded fraud papers, and half-hidden faces reveal the gap between the speech and the record. Lifted midtones keep every detail readable so the contradiction lands without darkness swallowing the evidence. The scene is not a caricature of one man; it is the stage on which the claim that these candidates were the highest quality meets the facts that include felony convictions, post-election arrests, and name-confusion schemes. Brighter exposure ensures the audience can see both the performance and what it tries to obscure.
