With Chuck Schummer , senator from Wall Street and Israel and Minority / Majority leader designate for the Democrats, undermining President Obama’s and Secretary of State Kerry’s Iran deal and misogynist, offish Donald Trump serving as a stereotype for all that is to be disliked about the Republican Party, here the question we pose at the outset of the week:
