If he ever wants to be majority leader, he will have to help make the Senate work...something Reid refused to do...
He will need to seen as a leader not an obstructionist...
Being an obstructionist worked out real well for Reid...!!!
Schumer is know to be dogmatic, arrogant, & bad tempered. Like Mario Cuomo, he regard political opposition from the right as a personal affront.
Republicans need to play some serious mind games with Schumer and make him lash out, curse & denounce those who dare to disagree with him. That didn’t work with Reid who would just duck & cover.
Make Schumer bare his fangs!
