Harry Reid vs. Chuck Schumer

[President Johnson]

Which senate Democratic leader do you prefer or dislike less?

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

[OSR stands with Israel]

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:

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.

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.

The senate would be in much better shape today if McConnell lost in 2008 and Reid lost in 2010 and instead of having McConnell and Reid as leaders in the 2010s we would have had Durbin/Schumer as the Dem Leader and Alexander as the GOP leader

[Ferguson97]

Reid is far more effective, so him.

[dead0man]

finally, a two person race that isn't a choice between two lesser evils



it's a choice between two greater evils

[dw93]

Reid isn't a blithering idiot like Schumer so he takes it, but barely as I do agree that Reid did damage the Senate, though not nearly to the extent that McTurtle . Honestly, Durbin should've became leader instead of Schumer, he's much better equipped to go to to toe with McTurtle than Schumer.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Reid and Schumer are both good, but Reid gets my vote.

[TheTide]

Reid has a charming social awkwardness about him.

I think I am waiting for Schumer to become Majority Leader to make a decision on this.
