Which senate Democratic leader do you prefer or dislike less?

For me, Chuck Schumer, quite easily. He's a big FF.

Reid was a huge reason of the destruction of the institution of the Senate, so Schumer 

Well, nobody comes close to Cocaine Mitch in this category. Many of Reid's actions were a reaction of extreme Republican obstructionism towards the Obama Administration.

Not really he helped destroy the amendment process:

Quote
Despite Reid’s claims that he has been “very generous with amendments,” the number of amendment votes per year (not counting non-binding budget amendments, which by law cannot be limited) has declined from 218 in 2007, when Reid became majority leader, to 67 in 2013. Since July of last year, Republicans have been allowed a grand total of four amendments.

he blocked votes on 330 house bills that passed

McConnell overall is still the worst for destryong norms, but yeah, Democrats aren't completely innocent either. I generall believe more bills from the other chamber should be voted on. Boehmer should have put the 2013 immigration and border security package on the House floor after it passed the senate with 68 votes.
