Nicely parsed!

I think this puts Paid on Schumer, in all senses.

Well said. When the Trump/MAGA era ends, which unfortunately could be a long time from now, I think historians will conclude that Trump rose and succeeded because both major parties were consumed with institutional rot. Trump has already swept away the old Republican Party, replacing it with Christian Nationalists and toadies. The Democratic Party reckoning has not happened yet. I expect new Democratic leaders will arise from blue dots in red states rather than from the politically inbred blue enclaves on either coast. (AOC being an exception.)
