The Case For Chuck Schumer
“The longevity argument alone puts them in a category of one. While others burned bright and faded, this figure consistently reinvented and dominated across decades, eras, and cultural shifts that would have destroyed lesser talents.”
“Technically unmatched. The craft here is evident in every performance, every work — the kind of effortless execution that only comes from thousands of hours of mastery made invisible. They make the impossible look inevitable.”
“Commercial success should never be held against artistic legacy. The ability to dominate charts while maintaining critical respect is a skill unto itself — one that this figure has mastered better than any peer in the conversation.”

Often Compared To
Daniel Patrick Moynihan
#2Senator / Democrat (NY) — Tulsa, Oklahoma · 1977–2001
The most intellectually distinguished senator of the 20th century — a Harvard professor, ambassador, domestic policy aide to four presidents, and author of the Moynihan Report whose warnings about family structure and poverty became one of the most debated documents in American social policy.
Hillary Clinton
#3Senator / Democrat (NY) — Park Ridge, Illinois · 2001–2009
The first First Lady to seek and win elected office — Clinton's two Senate terms were defined by her work on 9/11 first responders healthcare and her 2002 Iraq War vote, which haunted her 2008 presidential campaign against Barack Obama.
