Trump and Schumer -- both flamboyant, media savvy, outspoken, deal-making larger-than-life New York personalities have history. But in Schumer, Democrats also possess a megaphone, and a contrast to the soft-spoken Machiavellian Reid, who was more of an inside player. He's promoted other Democrats from his spot on the party's Senate Democratic leadership team and become a more rounded political figure. If it comes to a knife fight with Trump, Schumer is unlikely to shirk from a confrontation and will marshall his Democrats behind him. Still, if common ground does emerge in the new Washington, Schumer is likely to explore it.
