Schumer Claims the Past Two Weeks Have Been a ‘Turning Point’ for Dems

‘We have a whole agenda now called the Fair Shot Agenda’

SCHUMER: "We have a whole agenda now called the fair shot agenda aimed at average middle class people paying for college, minimum wage, keeping jobs in America. It's going to -- I think, you know, this past two, three weeks has been a turning point."
SCARBOROUGH: "What way is that?"
SCHUMER: "In the the 2014 elections for us. And the reason is three things. First I think the issue of ObamaCare, it's still going to be used against us. And it will have some potency, but it's fading. The 7 million sort of undoes the mistakes of the initial roll out. People are learning it's a good thing. And you can see in the poll numbers it's better. But second, we have the contrast of our fair shot agenda, equal pay for women, equal work, minimum wage, helping pay for college, bringing jobs back here, child care. Things aimed at middle class people, opposed the Ryan budget where he slashes things like infrastructure, college loans to students. They got to pay the interest while they're still going there. All to lower the top tax rate to 25 percent. We welcome that contrast. And I think you're going to find the last few weeks are sort of a turning point, a bit of a game changer, and things are going to start looking better for us."
