As Democrat leader he is remembered fondly by colleagues for his often insensitive and provocative [[racial]]ly charged comments and his far left [[liberal]] views.<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/harry-reids-racial-hypocrisy</ref> He was considered an idiot<ref>https://www.wnd.com/2013/01/senator-harry-reid-is-still-an-idiot/</ref> and a "mumbling gangster,"<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/7/hurt-improbable-reign-harry-reid-mumbling-gangster/</ref> so he was a natural choice to lead the Democrats in the Senate.

Since leaving the Senate, Reid has come to the reality that mainstream [[Democrats]] were becoming too radical even for him,<ref>[https://www.westernjournal.com/even-former-dem-leader-harry-reid-blasts-medicare-open-border-proposals/ Even Former Dem Leader Harry Reid Blasts 'Medicare for All' and Open Border Proposals]</ref> as well as the fact that [[Donald Trump]] is, in his words, a "very, very smart man".<ref>[https://www.westernjournal.com/harry-reid-calls-trump-smart-man-warning-democrats-trump-thanks/ Harry Reid Calls Trump 'a Very, Very Smart Man' While Warning Democrats, Trump Thanks Him]</ref>

===Reelection 2010===

Reid faced a tough re-election in 2010, with The "Cook Political Report" in September 2009 having rated the contest as a "Toss Up". His status weakened in summer 2009, as discontent with President Obama and the Democrats' health plan mounted, and as the Recession of 2008 continued to batter Las Vegas and the entire Nevada economy, in addition to no relief in sight from the stimulus bill Reid pushed through the Senate. Reid's inability to improve his standing in the polls, coupled with the deteriorating political environment for Democrats nationally, made clear indications that his political problems were deep and will be difficult (though not impossible) to fix, said Cook.
