4. Is this surprising?

When the Diabolical 8 decided to cave, this was in the cards. Lots of us said it. We said this will be seen as capitulation and a Democratic loss. And it is. We can "yeah, but" the issue all we like, but in politics, perception is reality, and our inability to understand that is to our detriment and it's why people like Schumer have to go. He doesn't understand it either.

So, the best we can do now is take the "L" and try to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
