Reid said what about Trump?

We just heard that former Senator Harry Reid is very ill.   We wish him well.  
Harry Reid, the former Senate Majority Leader who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, has given a rare interview in which he compares a “weird” President Trump unfavorably to mafia bosses who “are really good with what they do.” He told The New York Times: “Trump is an interesting person. He is not immoral but is amoral. Amoral is when you shoot someone in the head, it doesn’t make a difference. No conscience.”
When the writer Mark Leibovich suggested there was a hint of grudging respect in Reid’s words, he added: “I think he is without question the worst president we’ve ever had… We’ve had some bad ones, and there’s not even a close second to him.”
Reid refused to say whether he backed his successor Chuck Schumer’s tactics in dealing with Trump. “I do not call Schumer,” he said. “I call him once in a while — not weekly… I talk to Nancy often. I love Nancy Pelosi.”
The Times piece states, bluntly, that Reid “does not have long to live.”   
Again, we wish him well but his words are shocking.     
We remember Senator Reid as a total partisan who went as far as accuse then candidate Mitt Romney of not paying his taxes.  He said that without evidence as the majority leader during a speech on the Senate floor. 
To my knowledge, he never regretted peddling the lie.
On the matter of illegal immigration, he was always an opportunist:  Harry Reid 1993 No Sane Country Would Give Illegals Citizenship!
In other words, I never got the impression that Senator Reid was a man with much of a “conscience”.  Reid was all about winning elections and telling people what they wanted to hear.

Can the Democrats go from "resistance" to "governing"?

The second version of Speaker Pelosi started today.   I agree with Colin Reed:  
House Democrats are about to find out that governing is harder than campaigning. Their majority is paved through 31 districts won by Trump in 2016 that flipped blue in 2018, many of which had resided in the GOP column for generations. These red districts are not fertile political ground for the deep blue policies pushed by progressives.  
Furthermore, many of these new members of Congress explicitly pledged to oppose Pelosi in order convinces voters of their electability – pledges that are about to be put to the test.
Now, these Democrats will have to vote on border security, raising taxes to pay for health care and so on.

It will be interesting to watch.
